UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Liz and the Blue Bird is a definitive buy for me, will likely pick up Eva as I couldn't afford it last year, glad I held off on buying the standard release which didn't include the ADV / Manga Ent. versions.

The rest will depend how much everything is and how much I spend in the sale though they are all titles I am interested in owning eventually. I don't own any Ultimate Edition's due to their awkward size (and price) so may just wait out for regular CE's for the titles which are getting UE's, I'll see.
 
I'm also pretty sad that Kakegurui s2 wasn't announced. The wait continues.
I'm a maybe on the Evangelion CE. I was thinking about the zavvi exclusive one but decided against it because well, it's from zavvi, so this is pretty appealing. As long as it's not stupidly priced, I'll be interested.
 
What’s the difference between the Liz and the bluebird masters? I have the Japanese blu ray so is that the home video master? I was going to get the uk release just to get a subtitled disc but I might pass if it’s borked.
 
Probably just get the films.

Interesting to see them get Crunchyroll stuff with The Tower of God being an "Original" and A Place Further Than the Universe got some funding from them. I can see APFTTU being picked up because Crunchyroll probably wouldn't have bothered with a, on the surface anyway, CGDCT show, but ToG?
 
This concept of theatrical and home video versions fascinates me; I'm used to seeing nothing but outrage if there are any alterations to the theatrical cut of a film (without it at least being presented alongside).

Apparently that's a growing trend. Due to the means of distribution/film editing these days it's been known for 2 different cinemas to show 2 different cuts of a film. They're basically being patched like video games.

I don't know the differences, but there's nothing wrong with the US release. I've seen it a dozen times and nothing ever jumped out at me as a problem.

It's not comparable to a director's cut or something. Director's cut is usually made way after the production has wrapped up, but in anime production often continues after the theatrical or broadcast masters are made. So what you see in theater or broadcast are sometimes unfinished versions that were rushed out in order to hit the release date. This was a thing even in the 80s (e.g. Megazone 23, AKIRA)

It's interesting as it had a standard release already too, which did seem like Crunchyroll might hold onto. Either a deal was in place earlier or they simply didn't want to release a larger version but were willing to licence it out knowing that as an UE it won't steal their market share among more casual viewers.
 
I for one am hoping we get an answer on a long delayed release. One that has been years coming and upon which the silence of AL is maddening.

I speak of course of only one possible franchise. An influential gem without peer.

When are we getting 4K Rosario Vampire?
