Apparently the inability to stack other offer codes with BOGOF is a limitation of Shopify that Anime Limited themselves can't change. BOGOFs and similar deals only discounting the cheapest items is also standard across the retail industry. When making my orders, I had separate orders for BOGOF...

I think you deserve a lie-in, to be honest...

My company and I worked with CineAsia on the theatrical release, and their team are super passionate Detective Conan fans. So, I hope that the home ent release goes well. Speaking of Cine Asia, has there been any word of a home ent release for the Chinese animated film Deep Sea? I can only see...

I think the biggest obstacle now is the dwindling relevancy of television, especially with the younger demographics that anime tends to target. That demographic is far too used to streaming services nowadays, and anime is plentiful there (even when we exclude Crunchyroll and focus on the more...

In cinemas this Friday, the anime film adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's "Look Back" has been an unexpected hit overseas, but is it as good as people say it is? Continue reading...

K-Movie Entertainment confirms that the feature film adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's LOOK BACK is coming to UK cinemas on Friday 25 October! Continue reading...

Anime Limited currently don't have the rights to Missing Link. I don't know any more with certainty, but it's possible that Lionsgate (who originally released it) might still have the rights. Similarly, when Anime Limited announced the Hosoda catalogue, it was missing The Boy and the Beast...

I think you've hit on a key dividing point: there are a number of major US athletes and celebrities who are professed anime fans (Michael B. Jordan and Megan Thee Stallion, for example). However, how many Brits are there? Bill Bailey wore a Dragon Ball t-shirt on QI once some years ago. We've...

Anime Limited released The First SLAM DUNK theatrically last year, which did pretty well, especially given the general lack of a major presence for basketball in the UK. Looking at the BFI box office reporting (which aren’t 100% accurate but broadly useful), it looks like Sony’s release of the...

The Minus Color version was also exclusive to the Deluxe Edition in North America, so it's a Toei limitation. It did receive a completely separate Standard Edition release in Japan (that didn't include the regular version), but the only way to own both it and the regular in the same package was...

My vote goes for Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines. It looks absolutely gorgeous - far better than a series like it has any right to be. I loved how the series had a mature view on rejection and relationships, and Anna is just precious. If not for Holo, she'd be Best Girl of the Season.

I've been to a few SLAs in recent years, and I've had to learn to identify a film that I can skip in order to get a proper meal in, because watching multiple films in one day is surprisingly tiring. There's also not a lot of places that stay open after the final film. For me, that's usually been...

The obi strip has really been popularised in the boutique blu-ray space by Radiance Films. I've seen other distributors like 88 Films follow suit too.

The One Piece English Dub is real! The BBC has confirmed that they have acquired UK streaming rights for the incredibly popular anime's English dub, with over 1,000 episodes releasing on BBC iPlayer between September and December. Continue reading...

Hanners has clarified in the Discord that they have Season 2, and CEs for both will be happening too.

Summer 2024 is arguably the season of the romcom anime, but what has made "Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines" such a stand-out that it's reportedly attracted the attention of Makoto Shinkai? Let's find out... Continue reading...

I recently bought Part 1 and Part 3 on BD, so I'd love for Discotek to figure out how to do Part 2. SD on BD would be nice for shelf space more than anything.

HMV are one of the largest retailers for home video in the UK (and the only one with a high street presence), and regularly get exclusives from multiple distributors. Them not shipping internationally is a shame, but these releases have always been intended for the UK market, and other places...

Crunchyroll UK have announced the first English-language release of Sunrise's popular mech anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, which will be released on Blu-ray Steelbook exclusively from HMV this October. Continue reading...

Considering how close they are with Science SARU, I wouldn't be surprised if it's at least come up in conversation. Given that they've managed to license other Crunchyroll-Sentai sublicenses, I wonder if it's possible.
