UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Crunchyroll charged the same SRP as any of their Standard Edition Movie Blu-ray, which only feature Amaray & O-Card and no special packaging at all. Also it's possible that the lack of special features might be due to Japan, as the Japanese UHD only has some 4min audio commentary (?) with other extras exclusive to way more expensive non-UHD-Editions
 
AL applying anime pricing to a live-action film like Labyrinth is a slippery slope for physical media collectors.

They 'just' about get away with it for anime because most understand the licenses are a nightmare and generally high to deter reverse importers in Japan.

But when you're asking £70 for a film you're opening the door to all the others to say 'hell our edition has way more stuff, why are we only charging £50'.

AL came in as THE boutique label for anime and they're steadily heading to be the ones that actual kill the collectors market with their insane prices.

Rant over, I'm sure some people will buy it but if you've got that money to throw away you might as well go balls out and get the one from the Bowie store that comes with a replica crystal 😂

To be honest, as much respect as I have for Henson, Bowie and both movies, I'm confused why an anime company is releasing them. Yes, I know anime in Japan isn't as insular as 21st century westeners have made it but it feels like a real reach to be applicable.

They're actually normal price points for 4K steelbooks or collectors editions including a steelbook at RRP.

Though without discounts the US CEs are slightly cheaper and nicer.
