UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Well, that's intriguing. I seem to recall this film seemingly having a separate rightsholder to the rest of the Ghibli films for some reason, but I did expect that Elysian would have got them all like Studio Canal did before them.

Anyway, undoubtedly one of the greatest animated films ever made IMO but I am curious what the appetite is for another Blu-Ray release of this film in (realistically) 2026 when one would have thought that the Ghibli films would be prime material for an UHD upgrade. I'd only otherwise be lured into double dipping if Anime Ltd managed to achieve what has so far seemed unachievable for any Western label and actually get some decent extras for a Studio Ghibli release.

A translation of Isao Takahata's Thoughts While Making Movies would be top of my wishlist - or at least a relevant excerpt. There was a conversation between Takahata and original author Akiyuki Nosaka in that book, which actually got translated and reprinted in an issue of Animerica. It's out there to be found already but would be great if it could be more widely available. I was away to say the same goes for the original short story, but it looks like Penguin are actually bringing that back into print with a new translation next month!

Any of the Sensou Douwa specials that aired in the 00s would be great to see as extras - most were written by Nosaka and are also war themed.
 
Also, on the subject of Takahata, any of Heidi / Anne of Green Gables / 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother / Gauche the Cellist would be particularly fabulous. All still MIA on English-friendly releases. 3000 Leagues was restored just this year I think.

8th December release date. Wonder what the chances are of this being released before Christmas. There'll be the sales as well 💥

Big saving though. Argh. This is how they get you.
 
Having enjoyed Gurren Lagaan, P&SWG, Promare, and loving NP&SWG....and seeing that AtA FR had a complete set of Kill La Kill come out last year what do we think the chances are that gets announced for the UK the second I pull the (studio) trigger on a second hand set (part 1 is the rare one and now seemingly going for £50 on the gray market!)

Hmm. Sum total of extras are a poster and full coverage inlays?
If AtA did a similar UK release, I’d still prefer the current solid black box with thick books and digipaks - you may as well just get the standard amarays if the books don’t matter?
 
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Blu-ray should be revealed soon. The German Deluxe Edition and steelbook have been listed on Anime Planet with a release date of November 20, but cannot be ordered at the moment and the images have been blurred. Same discs as the UK and French release. I hope they don't screw the audio up like they did with The Colors Within.
