UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

I just got from AllTheAnime email about goblin slayer 2 being on sale.

But I noticed in that same email Overlord season 1 collector/limited edition (the link fails/ 404 not found) I was wondering if anyone had heard anything on a re-release?, or probably more likley whether it was just a failed algorithm (that probably took most searched for items or something)

Pretty sure Overlord s1 CE was looong OOP before AL even started peddling Crunchy goods 🤔
 
Advance notice- despite posting a ton of coverage from the May event (including all my Macross coverage being highlighted by the rights holder), for the first time I have been refused an MCM press pass. I know in recent years I've provided live coverage of AL announcements at the event but sadly this time (assuming AL will be there) that won't be possible :(

I've heard a lot of people have struggled with press passes this time. Sucks to hear it happen.

I do have to wonder if it's linked to them merging the event with EGX and simultaneously focusing on viral influencers. Suddenly having to add the EGX crowd to the tentative accepted list and changing the criteria to be more demanding.

Regardless, I take some comfort in hearing I'm not alone in being rejected. The last 18 months have been hard on a personal level, so having a matter of professional pride tarnished was unwelcome. Sucks for all affected but knowing I'm not alone softens the blow.
 
Laika 4K steelbook sets are the new preorders today.

Surprised it isn't the City Hunter: Angel Dust steelbook seeing as the French, German and Italian releases of that were just announced and the discs are English friendly.
 
They look good but steel books rarely look that good in reality.
I have a fairly large collection from years ago when I had space to display them on the walls but not bought one since unless it was the only option or cheaper.

I own all those films & don't see the need to upgrade but I'm all for AL doing some more mainstream releases to pay the bills.
 
Give me an amaray case over a steelbook any day. Although, I am aware I'm probably part of the minority in that department.

Also not a fan of this increased habit for distributors/licensors to lock the 4K behind a steelbook or deluxe edition for a year or more, before the standard edition 4K is eventually released.
 
Looks like AL are probably going to be the most expensive place for the Laika steelbooks as they've gone up on Zavvi for £29 each, which is significantly cheaper than AL even using the Unlimited discount.

The sets are £26.34 on Rarewaves
