There's something genuinely surreal about Blood-C of all things getting an Ultimate Edition while 0080 and 08th MS Team remain unreleased in the UK in any format.
I can only imagine there's some kind of issue with these two series.
Huh, didn't see El Hazard coming. I got the Nozomi version a few months back. I was left with the impression that 90s harem comedy stuff like this and Tenchi haven't aged too gracefully, but man, some of the visual design is still great.
In for Kakegurui and maybe Boogiepop. My-HiME is a blast...
I am most disappointed that this didn't include "YOU ARE ALREADY READ" as a caption. Finally got my copy over the weekend 🎉
You are already Dead (Dead Demon Dedede... etc.)
A big issue? Expecting not to be charged for an order 1+ week before it's ready to dispatch, with order statuses not updating and the CS agents of the store in question apparently having zero idea of what's going on? Have some perspective, sah!
I feel for the CS people though. Please be polite...
Here's my perspective: I ordered from Zavvi knowing that I wouldn't have to pay in advance and would know when my order was dispatched. People have received copies with no update to their order status. As mentioned in a previous message, I don't care about getting it early.
If you decide to...
I got this response:
Please note we do have some stock available for the Neon Genesis Evangelion – Zavvi Exclusive Collector's Edition Blu-ray. Therefore your order has entered the dispatch process.
It is due to be dispatched soon. once dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email with...
Same here. Not fussed about getting it early but if they've taken my (credit card company's) money then I sodding well want it. Contacting them Monday if nothing by then.
What's the chances of this coming out when Funimation say it is? It's the first CE of theirs I've ordered but I'm aware that there's an issue with them announcing CEs only for one reason or another they fail to materialise 🤔
AL did release Discotek's Konosuba, but that's a newer title with broader appeal. Apart from that, there hasn't been a lot of interest in their output from UK distributors, even with films like FotNS which I would think has a chance of selling reasonably well.
Based on that, I wouldn't be...
Disappointed about Penguindrum since that's the only UK release apart from Evangelion for the remainder of the year that I'm interested in. I get that these things happen but it's mildly irritating to have to find out about them on a forum (I don't order direct from AL) so close to their...
I take your point about the authoring - have heard similar elsewhere - but I was thinking more in terms of Nozomi's Gundam releases being disappointingly barebones. We might only get a box and some art card/posters or whatever, but AL's look a lot better on my shelf. Video quality is good enough...
What have AL got against 08th MS Team and 0080, two of the most critically acclaimed (and shortest) Gundam series 😭
I ended up importing 08th MS but Nozomi's is such an underwhelming release that I would replace with an AL CE in a heartbeat. 0080 I'm holding on... and on... and on for.
I haven't kept many DVDs but I'll never get rid of my Bandai Visual Gunbuster set. Will buy again on Blu-ray.
The slipcover is thick card while the digipak is sturdier chipboard, something I don't think I've seen outside of some old Beez releases.
Anyone else old enough to have bought...
I'm guessing the evil triangle will be added to the spine at a later date but, and I also noticed this with the Paranoia Agent CE keepcase, their spines look so much better/cleaner/tidier without it.
Nice enough set for a very good show, but laying down £200 for Tylor Ultimate has probably exausted my "ridiculously priced anime fund" for now 😂
I'll see if I have any spare cash and if they've got any left in Dec/Jan/Feb or whenever it releases. Asking for 200 quid upfront when it's at least...
Yeah, I don't use their store so I usually have to get my info about delays from this forum.
Not that I'm really bothered cause I got plenty of other stuff to watch, but it kind of blows my mind that they get to the weekend prior to release before realising that they have to delay it for...
