UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Yes, an affordable standard edition of the newly discovered HD version would be good. I wouldn't want to pay out for a second CE for the same title.

I wouldn't complain if they did a steelbook of the HD remaster of Cyber City Oedo 808 as tbf Discotek is doing one but considering the circumstances, I would hope they would do an affordable standard edition at the same time or at least announce both versions at the same time with the standard to come soon after, so that people know they have a choice and what the pricing will be (also better for those who want a steelbook if they do one, as it means they won't have to compete with people who just want a disc to Frankenstein into the CE version). That said I'd happily buy a standard edition of it for the better transfer anyway, as I absolutely love Cyber City Oedo and it would be much cheaper than importing (I'd also likely buy a steelbook assuming the EB was £20 or so, I'm basing that pricing guess on the cost of the 5cm per Second one at EB considering that that had the OST CD in it as well and this prob won't, though thinking about it it might as I guess they could include it for those who missed the CE or perhaps a version without the snippets of dialogue?)

Err... anyway in conclusion please release Cyber City Oedo 808 HD remaster on Blu-ray here Anime Limited

Looking through the Belle track list and it looks to me that U (JP version) is missing and a few of Belle’s songs in English are also missing?

That's right, the JP soundtrack is also missing U on the AL Deluxe Edition as well, licensing I imagine is the reason. and yea, other tracks that have Kylie McNeill vocals are missing (arguably the main ones are included but to my knowledge everything Kaho Nakamura sung has a English equivalent), which is a shame, including the version of the song sung over the end credits.

I'd love to see the proper HD remaster of Cyber City Oedo 808 get a UK release. Also, the Discotek Blu-ray of Memories deserves a UK release, that's been OOP for far too long now.

Is this the CD in the Ultimate Edition? Or the Vinyl?
Spotify have both versions and all the tracks are playable!

Seconded, I hear the dub they did for Memories is amazing as well, and I honestly really like all three segments from that film I know the first one is prob the most popular but I really got a lot out of all three, would also be awesome to get Robot Carnival as well and Neo Tokyo too though I don't know of that having been released on Blu-ray in the US yet? While we're wishlisting like hecc for this sort of thing, would love to own the original Vampire Hunter D on BD with both English dubs (and Japanese with English subtitles obvs) and I'd be interested in Darkside Blues on BD as well. Is there any interest in the Please Save My Earth or Video Girl Ai OVAs, or Ah/Oh My Goddess (tbh I'd buy everything from that - old OVAs, both seasons of the TV series and the newer specials/OVAs released after, wasn't as keen on the movie but I wouldn't complain if it were part of a complete set) I understand some of this might not be viable so no expectations just figure it doesn't hurt to ask

Sorry I meant the vinyl

People

Jujutsu Kaisen has been shipped.

Mine shipped too. Thought it would end up being delayed further, not that I'm complaining about getting it earlier. Loved that show.

 

[TakamakiJoker]

My one hasn't shipped yet?
From Anime On The Line

I ordered from Anime Limited when it was on Early Bird, not sure when Anime-On-Line will get their stock

Might be a slight delay there then. It seems if it was direct it's being shipped now, so I imagine you'll get yours soon after.

 

[SteadyHandMcDuff]

Previous attempts (like the manga) for Detective Conan stumbled there somewhat in the UK. Personally I'm a big fan of the show though so it's definitely not impossible, no plans at this moment though....

Okay thanks, I appreciate the reply!

 

[bigzgod]

I wonder how likely it'd be for AL to pick up something that never got an AoA release like We Never Learn: BOKUBEN

 

[Violette]

@anime_andrew I have a pretty left field request, I would love to see Little Witch Acadamia get a blu-ray release

Though I don't know the demand or anything for that.

I'd love that too, but I thought netflix was the reason a blu-ray release was unlikely, at least that's what I'd read before.

AFAIK it doesn't even have a US release either, and it was a pretty popular show...

Nope, just the 9 JP Releases, which do have English subtitles, thankfully. But at about ¥6000 each plus crazy high international shipping costs now, the series would cost about ¥70000 or so.

Spoiler: Little Witch Academia, Japanese Volumes 1-9

I'm pretty sure they showed it at Scotland Loves Anime or that Japan Touring Film Foundation thing? Or it was shown online during the pandemic by one of those two when they couldn't do cinema screenings? I've heard good things overall

 

[KingJimmeh]

Yeah, was shown as part of JFF - HELLO WORLD - Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme

I was thinking had I seen it at SLA, but I was mixing it up with The Relative Worlds.

It's a good film. Looks stunning and has a great reality bending story. I saw it when it was on that online festival and have the Spanish release. Will also be picking up this one.

 

[Lucky_Deity]

Will likely pick it up as the EB is only £19.99 before using Anime Unlimited.
