I wish Sora no Woto had used Kishida Mel's art on the covers, even if only as a reversible option. looking at the Durarara x2 discs on CDJapan, the designs are very much in line with the original series (which were mirrored in the Beez DVDs). Ironically, while I can recognise that a show is...

Rob Pereyda, back when he worked for Crunchyroll, highlighted the fact that for the licensor the costs of just signing a deal for a smaller region can completely outweight any benefits of doing so. It's different when it is included in a larger region (i.e. Europe for Kaze), or when a physical...

The Human Centipede got away with 'solids' (eventually) though. I'm completely lacking context with regards to Prison School, not having much interest in watching it from the promo images.

I did work experience in a little recording studio in a youth centre. One of the things being recorded there was a "History of Maine" audiobook. And the Rubber Ducky song.

The problem is, I'm not sure whether or not I want Sankarea having never seen it, and while I have some extra money at the moment, I already used it to finally get a PS4 and Christmas is coming so I can't be too extravagant...

Four Aniplex titles, all licensed by Anime Limited, have been added to Netflix in the US. Only one of them (Aldnoah.Zero) is available in the UK (the others are Durarara and X2, and SAO II) At first squint I saw "Order is a Rabbit".

They did make a push into the UK when they launched the .co.uk site and set a £ price. They've also advertised for UK marketing staff at least once (it's up again now as it happens, but also covering the Scandiwegians). At one point they were also doing UK-exclusive daily deals (MVM discs, but...

This is anime licensing. If it hasn't already happened, it will.

Kaze tend to use French BD cases though.

There are at least three forms of OVA. Standalone; a straight-to-video release. Extra episode; a bonus episode on the DVDs of a TV series. Manga tie-in; an episode on a disc bundled with a limited edition volume of a manga. We've had plenty of the first sort, most recently GitS: Arise. The...

Darn. When you said it was "relevant" I thought you meant it was something to look out for.

Ugg. I suppose we can hope that it was a speck of dust or something on FUNimation's master stamper so it won't affect our discs if they are being replicated over here...

That "Korea, North" and "Korea, South". My script to translate the codes isn't all that intelligent. I suppose I could use semicolons as separators instead.

Something Zac has pointed out on Twitter:

Since Animax have S1, there's no point in anyone else getting S2 unless they wrest S1 from them as well. Regions allowed: "Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Bhutan, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Cook Islands, Christmas Island, Fiji, Micronesia, Georgia, Heard Island and McDonald...

I remember when there was a big fuss about FUNi using DVD-sized cases for their combos (because there was a DVD section in stores for anime, but not for BD so they were jumbled in with everything else).

It's not even a functioning hashtag (#canthavepunctuation)

Well, you know, people love to have a "...or no buy" clause to fall back on. "Waah! The box is the wrong size!" "Waah! The subs are the wrong colour!" "Waah! I don't understand Japanese but I have to be able to turn the subtitles off!"

There's also the partial case of Persona 4 where the original BDs were dub-only (a hybrid BD came 3 years later)
