    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Granbelm Collector’s Edition shipped. I was honestly going to cancel it last night if I didn’t fall asleep.

    This might be a dumb question but did they push back the release date for Granbelm’s Collectors Edition? The website still has the release date as 26/02 but my copy has not shipped.

    The Gundam Thread

    Really hoping Gundam Breakers 4 includes stuff from G-Reco. I know it would be unrealistic to have a readily available G-Self gunpla but let me have that in the video game at least.

    I didn't know it was their first event considering the scale and the guests they were able to get. Very Impressive. You are right. It is great for these events to give such a strong place for artist and the community. It would be nice if the actual distributors could get involved too, even if...

    What did you BUY today?

    I pre-ordered a copy of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. And I am in the market for a new printer. The current one won't print in black anymore.

    The internet for the entire street cut off last week. Maybe it was the rain but at least it is back now. I spent most of that time watching movies and reading

    Ferrari (2023) - Penélope Cruz is astonishingly good in this. There are scenes of her just sorting paperwork and you feel like you are watching the angriest person in all of Italy. It's oddly captivating. A lot of director Michael Mann's style is fully on display here. In a film that feels...

    The standard editions for Utena are also in the Buy 1 to 1 free sale. So you can get the whole series for £35 for the rest of the Christmas sales if you prefer that.

    Interesting. Do you ever wonder what the BBFC think of the names of these series? Do they appreciate that there is a descriptive rather just completely baffled?

    What you guys doing right now.

    Haha. Thanks for the offer but I'm in Florida and that's a 16-hour drive. I also have no access to a car. Maybe if you ever make a trip to the UK I and some other people here can arrange a get-together. It feels like it's just Walmart (which is selling Evangelion and Teenage Mutant Ninja...

    Currently in America and 4 hours behind. It's really hard to buy DVDs and Blu-Rays but I've had great sandwiches here.

    UK Anime Distributor MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread

    The current deal of the week is Princess Principal on Blu-Ray. It's a really fun little show about spies in a steampunk Victorian London. The English Dub is fun. You get to hear a solid set of core performances and then a bunch of American actors doing British accents of varying degrees of...

    Excalibur (1981) - Could you compress the entire Arthurian legend into a 2 hour film without it feeling disjoined? No but John Boorman put everything he had into making each of those disjoined pieces feel unique. Nicol Williamson's portrayal of Merlin helps immensely as he transitions from...

    Evangelion: 3.0 1.0 thrice upon a time - Not really sure what to make of that to be honest. It does correctly build on 3.33 and helps that film a lot by providing answers and meaningful progression. Could that stuff have been in 3.33 itself? Yes. But actually understanding what people were...

    Pre-Ordered My Dress-Up Darling from MVM. Getter Robo Armageddon, Planet With and Tsuredure Children as part of the Right Stuff closing down sale. Which feels like a gamble because something could go wrong but hopefully it's fine. I have also ordered a figure of Momohime from the game Muramasa...

    Gunbuster Ep 1-6 - Enjoyed this a lot. It feels like someone on the production team (presumably Anno) just got possessed for Episode 5 because the contrast between its style and the pervious episodes is so ridiculously stark. Overall it's just a really solid mecha anime compressed into 3 hours...

    @Professor Irony Are there any Lupin films/specials you would recommend? Either because they are solid entries in the series or just interesting?

    Where to Buy Anime in the UK (was Anime Online Retailers)

    Thanks. My issue is more if Otaku.co.uk will be able to get the stock at all now. Because a RightStuff order might my only shot at some of these titles for a while, especially if they aren't on other sites like WowHD (which I have also never used)

    Where to Buy Anime in the UK (was Anime Online Retailers)

    I can't decide if I should open an account for RightStuff or chance ordering some blu-rays from Otaku.co.uk. This whole situation is a mess.

    I’d hate that because AOL is still the better of the two. Especially now Anime Limited is owned by Embracer, a company clearly in dire straights after a gaming buy-out fell through. They are cutting jobs and closing the down entire companies to survive.
