Given BBC just got caught cutting references to non-binary identity in Transformers, no thanks.

Wait, they cut the part where it's explained nightshade doesn't see themselves as a he or she but they/them, are you serious that's not even a big part of there character, the BBC where fine with a non binary female presenting character in doctor who how is it OK in one show for children but not another (particularly when one of those shows involve robots not people)?

If it was on a childrens block or CBBC there are strict guidelines from OFCOM that content can't be higher than a PG. Talk about gender identity or anything LGBT usually falls into a 12s rating. Steven Universe got butchered on broadcast in the UK due to those regulations as well.

That's awful, standard should be the same regardless of gender or sexual orientation (as in, mild kissing and handholding ok for kids shows like it is for straight couples, and gender identity talk fine at least if it doesn't involve talking about genitalia or breasts but just about how one feels about oneself as a person).

1. I thought we moved past section 28 2. I just checked the dvd rating for power rangers Dino charge and it's rated pg and there's an lgbt relationship in that series (don't watch anymore so don't know the full details), did that show even air on conventional television in the uk?

I'm guessing you were thinking of Dino Fury, not Dino Charge, as it was the former (as well as the sequel Cosmic Fury) that had the LGBTQ+ relationship (it was between Izzy, the Dino/Cosmic Fury Green Ranger, and Fern, who would later become Cosmic Fury Orange). I'm more of a Super Sentai fan, but a lot of my Twitter mutuals enjoy both, so that's how I know. Sorry to go off-topic there.

Naruto:

Beautiful stuff. I've been waiting so long for this. Instant pre-order for me, I'll need to set an alarm in my phone for July 11th, haha.

Some key things I took away from the blog post though:
  • Only 4 sets, which is good for shelf space.
  • Presented in the original 4:3 aspect ratio, no funny business trying to stretch it to 16:9.
  • Standard editions (8 sets) releasing alongside the collector's edition.
  • The box to store the sets in is exclusive to the alltheanime.com store.
  • £99.99 SRP per CE set - so early bird maybe £79.99 or is that wishful thinking haha?
  • I also noticed in the title of the blog post it says "NARUTO UK Blu-ray release plans unleashed!" - perhaps a nod to Manga Entertainment's original release of Naruto on DVD, which were titled Naruto Unleashed on each set.
The collector's editions look really nice and I love that they're giving us a cool box to put all the sets in. I wish the booklet was a little more comprehensive in terms of page count, but I suppose you can't have everything.

Naruto is the kind of series that deserves this sort of treatment. It was meme'd on a lot back in the day, but it's one of the big 3 for a reason. I'll be happy if they do BLEACH in a similar manner.

"Oh no, not nuh-ROO-toe!" Lol, I used to pronounce it that way to my two pre/early teen daughters just to irritate them when they would be watching that series on my living room TV 10+ years ago, they were both huge Naruto fans but I could never sit and watch more than 10 minutes of any episode with them before I had to get up and leave the room, the series was THAT grating on me... I SO love battle shonen. not. 😅

Now to decide if to go for the standard sets or the collector's edition sets, mainly thinking of when Shippuden comes along as that'll be the big one when it comes to space size.

Two SE sets will be the same as one CE set in terms of episode count. So if the early bird is 44.99 for the standard editions, you're looking at 89.98 - which might be the same price as the early bird for one CE.

If it's not a series that I absolutely love, I'll always go standard unless the CE is on a good deal, as they're just easier to store and take up less room on the shelf - but it makes sense from a financial standpoint to get the CE in this case.

Two thing I notice.

With the standard RRP exactly half the price of the Collector's, £50 to £99, and containing half the content, it's not at all worth getting the standards. You get all the same content, with more artwork in the packaging, and for what it's worth, a booklet.

They're authoring the discs themselves... Caveat Emptor.

I'd be very impressed if there isn't at least a few errors on the discs. Given that there's 220 episodes and Anime Limited can't seem to even pump out 13-episode series with any consistency in terms of quality control, there's bound to be something wrong in these Naruto sets.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I am trying to cut down on CE as they take up a lot of space and trying to focus more on my absolute favourites or ones with nice designs. I'll wait until the EB goes live and decide then.
 
Naruto doesn't interest me at all so it's a pass/skip for me. What a lackluster year in terms of releases, it seems I will get through this year without buying anything from Anime Limited.
