UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

I have just finished my sale shopping, I upgraded some of my standard version Blu-rays to the collectors editions, I got one Blu-ray that I missed out on it's first early bird release and I also got a show I have been interested in watching recently so it was a pretty decent haul (all for under £100 too which is great value)

I missed out on the 2020 A Silent Voice collectors edition, I had it in my basket but it was out of stock at checkout. Luckily I just found a sealed one on eBay for only a little more than it would have cost me in the sale so I went from super sad to super happy pretty quickly 😁

There are some really great collectors edition Blu-rays on there but I have 90% of them already. I hope everyone else manages to find something they want 👍

I might pick up Place Promised and Night is Short if I remember later in the week. I’m glad the consensus is that the sale is underwhelming as I def had that vibe and thought I was being grumpy 🤣

I’m somewhat struggling.
I feel almost obligated to get something from the sale, but I would summarise the selection as either titles I’ve already got, or not really discounted.
And the EB redux titles don’t seem to be the same price as the original EB? I don’t have info for many, but looking in my emails, the Eva3+1 is £5 more, while the Patlabor works out as £5 more for the three (I didn’t order, but the EB offer was £70 for all). Even being able to apply the discount code doesn’t make them cheaper (Unlimited subscribers technically lose out with just 5% more off)
 
Don't think I've bought from their sale since 2022. Stupidly bought Persona 3 and I've watched 15 minutes.
Even worse no-one wants to buy them.

I'd buy the Patlabor films but they're not cheap enough. I bought the 3rd film for $1 so that's my benchmark. (DVD)

There is absolutely nothing to buy or order in this sale, just like I predicted. Welp, I guess I will wait for their Christmas Showcase. Though AL's Christmas Showcase was pretty underwhelming last year AND the year before that... (For me at least)

I see Chaika The Coffin Princess Season 1 has reappeared as a new release. I wonder if that means we will finally see Season 2 UK release.

Hanners has confirmed they do have the rights to both seasons, collector's editions for each are also planned apparently.

I would rather have a collector's edition that covers both seasons together though, but I suppose given how Season 2 wasn't released over here they probably decided to separate it for that reason.

I hadn't realised this was an Anime Limited release, seeing as it is not even listed on their site. Although the anime-on-line website doesn't seem to realise it either, as Chaika cannot be found with any search terms just have to see it in the pre-releases section.

Surprising they aren't releasing them bundled together, Sentia has had multiple releases of Season 1 and 2 bundles.
 
The only thing in the sale that is tempting to me is Tonikawa (must have missed the EB while enjoying myself in Edinburgh). But with a AL November release date, I guess that means an extra wait of 6 months to a year?

I just recently showed my Sentai Blu-ray of Chaika to my mother, and she enjoyed the series. I'll probably grab both of the AL CE whenever they are released, then.
 
For the summer sale, I ended up going for the Collector's Editions of Re:cycle of the Penguindrum, Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System and the two Love Live movies. The former I bought for consistency, as I already have the Penguindrum CE, and the latter three, because even though it would look inconsistent on my shelf, I have no idea whether or not they're going to do standard editions of those titles anytime soon, as all three CEs were released back in 2021. Funnily enough, I never bought a Psycho-Pass BD, but I would have to settle for standard sets for those, all of which I have to import (at this time, there is a UK release of Season 1, but I won't be getting that due to Manga's subtitling issues).

I managed to use the 15% unlimited discount as Anime Limited DM'd me the code on Twitter.
 
Does the 20th anniversay CE of Samurai champloo have a digipak or amaray case inside? I was looking for any intereior shots of the set, but couldn't find any. If it has a digi I would buy it over the upcoming US LE box set.
