Almost zero chance back in 2021 and as the shows not got a physical released in the US along with this whole Funimation situation, I'm guessing the likelihood of a UK release is even less than zero now

Can guess who Andrew was referring to when he says /that one voice/ as I've been asking for this show for about 5 years at that point

Was just browsing AOL's listings and man AL really have lost their minds putting a £40 RRP on a 24 minute short. Guess that's something to check out when it inevitably drops to £5 in next year's Christmas sales.

It’s a great short, but not £40RRP great

Must have heard you.
It's £10.49 now.

£10.49 is the standard edition, the collectors edition is still £27.99

Yeah like SkwigglesWorth said that was for the standard edition. Even then I think that's a bit much for 24 minutes. AL clearly trying to compete with Crunchyroll on questionable pricing
Otomo

Ah, didn't read it properly and obviously scrolled too fast.

I don't think it's too bad of an idea to have a CE for a short film but the price really should reflect the runtime

Summer Ghost at least was twice as long, had a feature-length documentary as an extra on the disc, and included a poster in addition to the booklet. And a DVD.

£40 for such a short run time & releasing a standard edition 2 weeks after the collector's edition, it's like Anime Limited don't want to sell any copies of the collector's edition.
Summer Ghost also has a english dub as well.

I like CEs. But yes, £25 (£40 srp) does seem a little steep for what is effectively the length of a single anime episode. Is £25 the EB pricing, or can we expect more of a discount (with this being the ‘normal’ price)?
At least it comes with a booklet.
Of 16 pages. Make that leaflet. (more than the 8 page £30 JP release though)
Plus a box and digi-paa…(…ck?) Oh.
Hopefully the box will at least be sturdy, embossed and metallic full artwork, not just a slip.
I do counter that even if ‘old tech’, a DVD is at least a physical extra that adds to the substance (and thus; the value). And it costs them less than a quid to chuck one in (excluding authoring costs, which I doubt would be much to fit <1/2hr on a disc!)
Yep. Probably one to wait for discount.

In other words; aware that they’re already pushing it, and deciding to go even further.AL have spent years seeing people on here complaining about prices then buying the things anyway - I don't blame them for trying this TBH!
Related: I’ve just been watching Gurren Lagann.
And not only increasing the price, but reducing the content (length) and package quality (booklet, discs, case, who knows what else)
No; I’m not buying tolberone or chocolate tubs this year either!
And I’ve just noticed; no extras? The (£30 rrp) JP release seems better still.

But regardless of run time the cost of the disc and packaging will still be the same.
