UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

[BrokenPhoenix]

It’s not inconceivable that they do fix and supply the advertised product in the CE, and perhaps just use the “faulty” discs for the standard edition?

It's usually the other way around. An error is spotted in a collector's edition and then the disc is fixed for the standard edition, while corrected discs are then sent out to those who purchased the collector's edition (if the error is significant enough).

With the company now choosing to list the standard edition as having SDR presentation, we can only assume that the initial description was made in error and the disc was always meant to have SDR on it, rather than HDR.

But yes, not ideal when people purchased the CE whilst having it advertised as containing HDR10.

About one proper week left in September and still no news on Hathaway.

I know we've been told here about specifics, but right now feels like I unintentionally monkey paw willed "It won't come out in September" into reality.

Does anyone wanna work at Anime Limited?

Did anyone else get their blu-rays damaged? My copies of Shirobaki and I think that's S1 Kaiji arrived damaged, do they send out replacements? Not sure what to do here

A week left and still nothing on Hathaway.

At this rate I genuinely won't be surprised if they cancel and just show it at MCM/SLA.

Not blaming AL if that does happen. Bandai Namco have suddenly decided only America matters.

It's shown up on the Odeon website as a double bill of both films for October 10th.

One day only.

Hopefully this is just a special case because in all honesty, making us wait all this time and then it's only in cinemas for one day seems unfair given most of their theatricals get longer.

It's hard to justify a long run when it's something readily available on streaming, that unfortunately does lose a lot of your audience.

A real shame we're months behind in getting it and now it'll be a one and done chain exclusive, which basically limits its reach to existing Gundam fans.

EDIT- I don't know if we'll get a special screening for this, so to be safe

 

[Suzu]

Will there be September Newswire or is Back to School Sale all we get this month?

I think it is safety say that Back to School Sale was all we got this month and there will be no newswire, lol.

 

[HellCat]

I mean Andy hasn't posted in here for a few weeks so they're likely super busy.

Semi-Anime Limited related but what's happening with SLA this year?
Normally we should have had the films announced by now right?

(sigh) One month left before my Anime Unlimited membership expires, and they've still only release one title this year that I wanted. I've just had a look back at everything they've released or put up for pre-order in 2026; if the branding was filed off and I didn't know which company it was from, I'd swear this was a Manga Entertainment slate.
