One day, AL will have properly folded box, where you don't see the artwork of one side on the other… one day… ugh

France + Belgium + French part of Switzerland? (I'm not counting Monaco and Luxembourg :p) Meh, I don't think all these countries together gets as many weeabs as Germany.

People in France care much less about dubs than in other countries. Just check amazon listing of boxset that are subs only in Germany, everyone is complaining.

Newly listed on Dybex website: BLAME! Collector's Edition - Combo - Comes with an artbook (number of page not given, likely more than 30) Hellsing Ultimate Collector's Edition - OAV I to X - Combo - A4 sized with A4 artbook (56 pages) and an undisclosed goodie. Serial Experiments Lain -...

The italian market is the smallest? Nah, don't think so. Distributors like Dynit don't have too much trouble selling a thousand copies of limited edition, french publishers usually struggle to reach those numbers for anything recently released.

The French market is difficult for all distributors. Even ATA which had a steady flow previously is starting to have blank spaces in the release schedules (also all theirs recent titles are from CR). Unlike Funimation, ViZ (which you seem to have forgotten that they do sometime take worldwide...

Funimation has been pointing out they've been trying to reach wider audience for years. It was written on Funimation Now at some point. The CR catalog is out of reach for FUNimation anyway so it shouldn't justify such licence rush. It should also be noted that Kazé (=ViZ) shouldn't be startled...

Or they're just anticipating a major change to the market because they know something we don't. New partnerships helps in those times.

It seems to be a cut down version of the one included in the old Sony release?

Conan are single releases for movies. This is a series. It's obviously not going to be the same format, even if its combo. This is an IDP A5 release by the way.

It sold poorly in France too.

It's about the same. There's little to no setteis in S&W. From what you're telling, I wouldn't really recommend it to someone who's seeking artworks. But at the same time there isn't that much usable art made specifically for the S&W anime. The rest of the art is "stuck" to the artbooks that...

Exactly the reverse for me. I hate when a simple release is ultra fat (say those amaray boxes used on movies by AL here, it's just a lot of wasted space for a simple one-disc/two-disc release. Hence those sleeve with a digipak are an okay alternative. SAO, Baccano and Berserk. I have no clue...

They corrected some dodgy frames, yes, but they definitely didn't touch the 20mbps limited video. And that's infuriating.

No reason, it's a decision from IDP. It's likely cheaper to manufacture & release everything that way. Also I'm guessing people might be tempted to order all of them at once rather than one every month or so (and few/many buyers giving up on the series). No known reason. BD-sized releases that...

If KSM knew how to price their items it would probably have done better. One does not sell a x-cour show at such price per volume. This is not Naruto.

A4 digipaks? Where do you see this? I don't remember any. The digipaks used in those boxset are always either DVD or BD format sized. Last Exile was also released on Blu-Ray in Germany by Nipponart. It's an upscale but I suppose the french release is good (as in the upscale category: on par...

That's the reverse, the subbed only release gets the best encode as it has got four BD50 (which are all almost full). The series was then reencoded by IDP authorer and it's still very good, way above the Japanese release that has all that terrible bending. As for the artwork you're referring to...

French people complain about everything. "saphir is too cheap" "there's a blue line on top im not buying it" etc. The sales were too small for justifying budget releases like those. So then they made collector A5 sized boxset, nobody bought them (literally). Now they switched to A4 and it does...

It is also put to shame compared to the basics editions released in other European countries, they're 6x cheaper too. But there'll be also some random excuse this time for the price :^)
