UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

So despite the info sheet and AL’s website listing them; Re:Zero Season 2 part 1 doesn’t have any on-disc extras at all.

I haven’t got there yet but I’m assuming that all the extras are on one of the discs in the part 2 set and AL just didn’t bother to check before marketing. Can anyone confirm that Part 2 does indeed have extras?

From what I've read on Normanic Grav's blog, Part 2 does include extras, particularly on disc 2. It has both textless openings and both textless closings, as well as promo videos and commercials. I reckon it's because of Crunchyroll US releasing Season 2 as a complete collection, rather than 2 parts.

That's correct. Crunchyroll released Season 2 as one complete set whereas Anime Limited split it up into two parts, and since the UK release re-uses the US discs (with AL's intro logo and discs being region locked), those extras are on Part 2 Disc 2.
 
Over on the Anime On-Line site, I cheered when I saw Love Live Superstar - Season 2 available for pre-order only to find out there's no English track.

Why only dub the first season and not the others?

Multiple factors come into play when dubbing shows. Licensing costs, numerous voice actors costs/wages, voice actor availability/schedules (possible characters having to be re-cast), studio fees, and most importantly Blu-ray sales figure targets.

All the well-known anime dubbing company studios in the USA eg. (Aniplex USA, Crunchyroll, Discotek, Netflix, Sentai and Viz Media) need to make money and they all have contracts which take into account the (above).

In the case of Love Live Superstar Season 2 as you have stated, while extremely popular in Japan (Love Live franchise) and is guaranteed to make money, in the west however there are fans of the series but not as many unlike in Japan. So taking into consideration that season 2 was never dubbed and the factors above, this is my hypothetical guess - Season 1 sold poorly = No S2 Dub.

Hope this helps.
