UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

I love AL and think they make some really amazing releases and work incredibly hard but I cannot help but roll my eyes at ‘as a 70 episode series utilising entirely new video materials’ etc etc.
Like, this isn’t new info. You knew the scale of the project and what had come before in terms of the aforementioned French release and others. You’re not a new untested rookie company in this market anymore guys.

$80 with shipping to the UK and it's not even DDP. I hate Crunchyroll.

Pompo is out in cinema today
I’m seeing it in Edinburgh later, quite excited 😁

Five days until CCS!

Unless it gets delayed again!

I thought CCS was already delayed to the 18th?

The AL site still says 4th July, but who really knows?!

Twitter update they posted on 23rd May says 4th July. They've not posted any other updates about it.

I don't believe that an anime blu-ray hasn't been delayed until I am holding it.

Well I hope you made it and enjoyed the film, I certainly did!

Cardcaptors release date now the 18th July, according to AOL. But with the above tweet saying they are still on track for the 4th, I'm guessing this new date is for people who didn't order with AL directly. 🤞

 

[Vincentdante]

Perfectly on track for another delay

 

[Girls with Guns]

You all shant get your CCS until I get my Blood-C Ultimate Delay set... so there. 😤

 

[RadFemHedonist]

Well I hope you made it and enjoyed the film, I certainly did!

...I was a bit tired and didn't go (I have a chronic illness) 😭 but might try to make it to the dubbed screening this evening instead if there are tickets still available, otherwise I'll wait for the Blu-ray release - I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!

I saw it in Dundee last night - I wasn't a huge fan of it but there were some parts that I really enjoyed. Thought the animation was quite pretty and the music was great.

Seeing that Anime Expo over in the US is going in big with Gundam promotion yet again and just curious what would need to happen for similar to occur here?

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not blaming AL for this but they are the most active promotional partner for this stuff in the UK (including, I believe, being responsible for 'The Gundam Wing' at TFNation a few years back.) Entirely understand that if Bandai or whoever doesn't deem the UK a priority (and from what I've heard from folks close to the industry in Japan post-a certain political choice they don't) it won't happen.

Just got email to say Cardcaptor Sakura has been delayed to 25th July because of a transit delay.
