She is the main female character, like her or not. ;)

Joking aside, artwork choices will always be subjective, and also dependant on the assets and materials we have available to make the best use of artwork we have in a coherent way.

In GATE's case specifically as it's a topic of discussion, given that this was previously available via MVM our suspicion was that most of the market for a full Collector's Edition has already been satisfied and that we couldn't do anything significantly different to offer up something "new", hence going with a Limited Edition model to provide the full series with some appealing packaging but also a more cost effective price, plus a Standard Edition for folks who don't want that.

Unfortunately when items are shipped back as undeliverable, it's often very slow for them to arrive back - a batch of orders that Irish customs rejected in early December only arrived back with us on Friday for example. Our fulfilment centre is reprocessing and reshipping those orders as soon as they arrive back automatically, so they're being dealt with as soon as AnPost/Royal Mail get them back to us.

Thanks for the reply amazed it takes that long hopefully they start arriving next few weeks.

I'm guessing its a bit like when I get stuff from royal mail and there is a fee to pay due to not enough or wrong size, they then ignore it for there 10-14 days before claims can be made and then delivery there fees note on the last day or the day after
And I assume other companies are similar once its left there immediate need to actually post something it get shoved in the we'll probably do it later pile.

From what I can see on our system the issue you got in touch about was resolved a couple of weeks ago and a replacement was shipped out for the item you had an issue with? Do drop me a message if you're still having issues though so I can take a look into it for you.

That’s great to hear, appreciate that update! I haven’t received any tracking info or notification - is that something you can PM me?

We do have an automated response set up to acknowledge all queries - if you didn't receive one it may be worth resending your message, and if all else fails drop me a line on here.

I've just sent an email about this and received an automated response for the query. The 2 times I've used the contact form on the website recently I have received no auto response so it may be an issue with the contact form.

Considering when GKids are releasing this I'd expect the AL version to be out some time in Summer.

There's a 4K set too.

I wasn't expecting a 4K so that's a nice surprise. Is it safe to assume The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Wolf Children will also be getting 4K's I wonder as all three movies were licensed at the same time.

And if AL / GKIDS will go back and give Mirai a 4K as well.

A shame that The Boy and the Beast is stuck with Studio Canal still as far as I know otherwise AL would have the complete Hosoda set (not including franchise movies, e.g. Digimon and One Piece though I can see AL picking up the Digimon movies based off of Discotek's recent release so that would be another Hosoda movie under their belt).
 
I can't really tell if the Steelbook is 4K-only, or a 4K/Blu-ray combo. It says UltraHD Blu-ray on the spine, but Amazons listing isn't clear, it says Blu-ray at the top but only 4K in the description. I already have 2 or 3 copies of this movie on Blu-ray, but it still would be nice for this to be a combo pack. I basically just want it for the steelbook, to add to my anime steelbook collection.

Just to clarify: I don't know exactly what Anime Ltd announced - but KSM Germany announced all 4 movies as 4K UHD: Wolf Children, Summer Wars, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time & The Boy and the Beast - all for a 2025 release and obviously part of the same licensing deal Anime Ltd signed (as both, KSM & Anime Ltd, are part of Plaion)

So it's likely that if The Boy and the Beast can't get a UK release due to licensing restrictions, there should be hope for a US Blu-ray - and by Standard (well, I know Weathering with You did not follow this rule) a 4K UHD Disc should be region free.

Ahh, that's good then concerning The Boy and the Beast, didn't know that was re-licensed in other regions though makes sense.
