Now I feel bad for doubting they'd make their original release date. On the plus side, I'm no longer obliged to buy the movie. I might still do anyway, will probably depend on the price (and my mood).

Lol my reply to the news of the sudden release date a month or so back was "Idontbelieveyou.jpg" and Andrew replied basically telling me to deal with it as it's happening :p

Quick Summary:
Delays (Free, Empire of Corpses....Beck and Shinkai still tbc)
Updates: FUni releases

Was toying with the idea of starting FT, but Fairy Tail Part 10 onwards still being DVD only will likely see me not bother.

No word on Miss Hokusai still, so can only assume August at the earliest for that.
 
The good news with The Place Promised In Our Early Days & Voices of a Distant Star pack:
  • Disc content is done.
  • English language dub and original Japanese audio in both 2.0 and 5.1 audio options for each language.
  • Voices of a Distant Star Extra: An alternate Japanese audio track of the feature with Makoto Shinkai himelf as part of the cast.
  • Voices of a Distant Star Extra: An interview with Makoto Shinkai
  • Voices of a Distant Star Extra: Storyboard version of the feature
  • Voices of a Distant Star Extra: A trailer collection
  • Voices of a Distant Star Extra: She and Her Cat short (yay!)
  • The Place Promised in our Early Days Extra: A feature trailer
  • The Place Promised in our Early Days Extra: Interviews with Makoto Shinkai and the primary voice actors in the feature Yuuka Nanri, Masato Hagiwara and Hidetaka Yoshioka.
The bad news:
  • Delayed
  • Travelling Daru short MIA
 
Such a shame they're going for one of those awful metal cases for Empire of Corpses, art looks nice which makes it even more annoying. Movie wasn't exactly what I would call good though so I'm not too bothered, if I decide I want it I'll look elsewhere (most likely the US).

Fairy Tail is something I'd like to start once I finally finish Bleach, but knowing that it's DVD only over here while BDs exist is a major put off for me so probably won't bother.
 
Disappointed to see that it's been confirmed Empire of Corpses is getting the steel box treatment, we saw that AL's french release was getting it so we assumed we would be getting the same as they did it with Gankutsuou. Unless they plan to do a standard release i'll go with the USA release. I don't understand why they're continuing forward with steel boxes when they have no spine and look horrible on the shelf.

Good to see a update on the Shinkai set, hopefully we'll get it by the end of the year, still got my £14 pre-order on amazon :p

For Fairy Tail, it looks like Funi Now is the best and cheapest way to watch it in HD now.

Since they're bringing over all of the Funi titles as combi packs why couldn't they do the same for Fairy Tail?

Andrew did confirm to me earlier in this thread that Empire of Corpses will be getting a standard BD later (they just aren't sure when yet). :)
 
Not sure about title-less spines, but Empire of Corpses has nice artwork. It's better than that creepy topless child artwork Funi have given it in the US...

I like both pieces, but yes, no complaints about the choice for the UK. The film series certainly has a good selection of illustrations to pull from.

Must have missed that, i'll hold off on getting the USA versions for now then. Hopefully we'll get a standard edition by the end of the year.

Am guessing based on your wording you may have missed it, but did want to make a note that a few months ago when we announced we'd be releasing Empire of Corpses we did acknowledge then that it would be released in Steel box packaging.

Looks nice but im canceling my pre order. In no rush to pay £28 for a film especially as I'm reevaluating my AL spending habits.

Fair play! I'm always curious - how are you re-evaluating your AL spending habits since you brought it up :D?

Best,

Andrew

Re FT - It's a tough one, but we've been left holding the ball on it mostly so it's a case of doing what's right for Funimation on that one as opposed to anything else really there. Sorry for that one alas!

Re Hokusai - August likely, the booklet is again the bane of our lives, but into the last stages. All the other bits are good to go though so at least when it is done we can go to print quickly :). Sorry again. we're as frustrated as you and we really want to get it done too here!

Best,

It's more reevaluating my spending habits in general tbh.

I've traditionally bought everything from you guys day 1, and by everything I mean everything lol (other than tokyo esp). As I'm in the unenviable position of saving for a mortgage deposit, I've still enabled myself to keep up with the AL releases, but now im thinking "hmm I could be saving more" and "do I really need a collectors edition of this right now? " etc it's only been the last week or so I've been thinking about my AL spending specifically and it's likely something that will pass :p

I'm just examining my preorders thinking "do I need it day 1?" You guys are pretty much the only company I preorder titles for, I still see several that I desperately want asap, but others I could spread out over the months.

Edit - good ti hear about Hokusai. That's a preorder keeper lol
 
Expelled From Paradise is looking like another typically nice package.

I'm BEYOND excited to finally get hold of that (nabbed it in the 12 Days of Xmas deal, so I'm hopeful it'll arrive soon-ish.) I'm on a Seiji Mizushima kick right now, having just finished Dai Guard and started up on Oh! Edo Rocket, so the timing is goooooood.

As someone who crawled through the same problem in 2014, I definitely know that feeling well so hang in there with it! Hopefully the majority of our product isn't that quick to go off shelves! Even shows like Root A Collector's will be in stock for a month or so on Amazon before they delete usually from release so that's a positive at least :).

Smart call and good luck on saving for the deposit there, having a place of your very own is important too!
