UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

[thedoctor2016]

I'm looking forward to giving the show a try when the blu-ray comes out over here. And I think Anime Limited have proven themselves capable of choosing good anime for us by now.

I would agree on this statement. Their catalogue is rather interesting, sure there were some odd additions but give them the collector's treatment and they stand out well. To me what makes Anime Limited shine are the older licenses they pick up like Cowboy Bebop, Perfect Blue, Haruhi Suzumiya, Tokyo Marble Chocolate and The Place Promised.

They have prison school SO No

Prison School, imo, was one of the best shows of the Summer 2015 season. Gakuto was also hilarious.

The fanservice means I won't watch it and Cowboy bebop is big anyway

Imo GL and CB are AL best titles so far only Maybe original FMA could reach as high too me or maybe Free ES ha ha

 

[elaniel]

I have pre-ordered (as per usual) all the Q1 titles that have gone up on Amazon. I really can't wait to see Miss Hokusai. I wish we got some screenings down here in the Midlands. I couldn't go to SLA, so hopefully next year I can convince someone to go with me.

I am hoping (as usual) there are some special plans for it as the RRP seems high.

Very, VERY pleased to hear about Noein being on the table for next year. I may have to get a review up on Youtube by way of a little guerilla advertising. It's an under-rated little show.

So now Rightstuf are shipping Gundam Part 2 before we have set 1 hmm the close releases is out of the window and a big fail

Not really a fail considering the UK release was delayed because they're including a booklet - something that's UK exclusive and not part of the Rightstuf release.

No char on the art box and the booklet could be good though I rarely read them fully and the 2 month delay for both volumes is poor though we're 6 months behind on Turn A so not terrible

Wait, no Char on the box you say? Well it just so happens I'm a Wizard and while he was uncomfortable being near Amuro-Ray - I managed to make some magic happen. It's as easy as Abra-(char)-dabra!

Hope this helps .

Andrew
Not a Char-latan, honest.

I'm trying to work out whether writing that on the box horrifies me as a collector or impresses me as a Char fan. Awesome response, however.

Double-psyche though is that I wrote on the cellophane - I'd never desecrate a box I'd spent months approving xD.

Ahhh So one side is Federation forces and the other is Zeon cool

 

[thedoctor2016]

You just need CCA and then I as a char fan will be happy

Pretty fast usually. I received MSG from their store earlier today so they've definitely sent out a ton of orders so still could come today

Anime Limited licensed Prison School? When did this wonderous event become known?

Prison School elevates their catalogue's overall quality by a quite significant degree (I've only read the first manga omnibus, actually, but it's hilarious). I don't know if they have any idea about packaging yet but I'd like to request that Hana features prominently ^_^

Is it part 1 or 2 that has the booklet?

I hope so as it just says unfulfilled on the site and of course no email confirmation of a despatch.

Thanks.

Just checked my MSG order, mine also says unfulfilled with no dispatch confirmation..still some hope.

I do hope it comes for you today, it's the worst when you're sitting around waiting for a package to potentially arrive.

The first 1000 copies of Part 2.

We don't know what the booklet will be about yet just art book or more hopefully andrew will give us some idea soon

 

[HellCat]

Its a collection of my rambling emails informing them how happy I am with the Gundam licence.

 

[jonno394]

@Andrew any idea when you'll add other releases on to the webstore (like Samurai Flamenco)

 

[Smeelia]

It'd be good to see Samurai Flamenco on their store, especially if they're matching Zavvi's lower prices like they did with Ping Pong (I forget what the best price actually was though). Amazon don't seem to have changed their price at all.
