UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

[Demelza]

Out of the Q4 offerings I'll definitely be picking up Your Lie in April Part 2 (provided I get part 1, still need to know the contents of that first) and Anthem of the Heart. I am quite fond of Tokyo Marble Chocolate so I might buy that if the price is right.

The biggest concern is definitely the price point of Erased at the moment and I hope that's just incorrect. I don't mind the set being split into two if the content makes up for the cost, but this is going to be a much harder sell at 6 episodes than it otherwise would have been it has to be said. I really like Erased but if it's going to cost me the best part of, say, £50+ then I'll be giving the collectors a miss in favour of a standard - even if it's months away.

I really like my collector's sets but I also don't want to be paying more than £40 for something like 6 episodes of a 12-13 episode anime, not without a good excuse because we're quickly reaching the point where it's too expensive.

In short - it's an licensor restriction on parts here folks, what was everyone expecting me to have to do? I'd love to do a complete episode set but you all know how this game is played now and as much as I'd love to change that, we have to be respectful of our agreement I'm afraid too. That said, the SRP was wrongly listed and should be £59.99 so it'll settle circa KLK prices probably - but again we're kind of hands-bound on this one folks so we're working with the best we have. I'm confident the AL special offer at least will bring it to under £40 though even if Amazon et al don't (I think they may).

Not so much complaining that it's cut into two parts, I kinda suspected such with the speed you guys put stuff out. If we were looking at £50-60 for both sets then that's almost as much as FMA's UE which has far more (although I appreciate the SRP for FMA is far higher than the £120 I'm paying), which is just silly to me. Under £40 has me sold though, especially if it's through the AL store as I prefer buying there to Amazon when I have the money.

I am sad to hear we're missing out on the manga, as I was saying on Twitter, because I'm buying the Erased manga when Yen release it and the manga from the anime sets would have fit right in. Also sad to lose the OST but that's not really too unexpected. Looking forward to the content of the booklet and if it's bigger than SAO's then I can see where the value is.

While you're around answering Erased related questions Andrew, quick one about the AL store. Is there ever going to be the chance you can change the way payment works so that money isn't taken until the item is dispatched? I'd pre-order so much more with you if I didn't have to pay straight away as I generally don't have the money until week before/of release.

I'm not sure I'd like them to use paypal authorisations for preorders months in advance, not without first putting in place a system for cancelling orders without having to send them an email.

Oh I didn't realise it didn't have a way to cancel orders. Never been an issue for me as I've not had to cancel in the couple of times I've used 'em, but I can see why that needs sorted too.

Glad to hear SamFlam is coming... FINALLY.
I also think ERASED is fine. But the KLK pricing structure will mean £30 a set i may consider it and hope we get a storage box a la KLK. But you not using AoAs discs is a concern for me is that just for you to save costs or do AoA prevent you using their discs?

 

[jonno394]

All this talk about SRP/RRP makes me glad I've decided to stop pre-ordering/buying anime at launch. As much as I'd love to support AL and others, I have other saving priorities right now, so as long as they're available, i'll likely be waiting 3-6 months before buying, and by then things typically can be found with some money off in a sale or something.

Glad to hear Sam Flam part 2 is coming out, if it had been 2 months back I'd have bought it day 1, but now I've changed my mind-set, I'll likely just wait out for a deal!

Don't think I've posted my thoughts on the line-up here so here we go.

I will definitely be picking up most of the movies. These are:

• Belladonna of Sadness - Collector's Edition Blu-ray
• Genius Party & Genius Party Beyond - Collector's Edition Blu-ray & DVD Combo Pack
• The Murder Case of Hana & Alice - Collector's Edition Blu-ray & DVD Combo Pack
• Pigtails and Other Shorts (aka the Production I.G. Short film collection) - Collector's Edition Blu-ray & DVD Combo Pack
• Tokyo Marble Chocolate - Collector's Edition Blu-ray & DVD Combo Pack

The Anthem of the Heart and Persona 3 I've left out due to the Japanese LEs being nicer (and have OSTs), however I may consider double dipping if the booklets translate the Japanese LEs booklet or go for a cheaper price tag later on. I won't be getting Project Itoh Harmony because it's a steelcase.

For TV shows I'll be picking up:

• Ouran High School Host Club - Complete Series Collector's Edition Blu-ray
• The Tatami Galaxy - Complete Series Collector's Edition Blu-ray

I already own Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 from Funimation on a special 1-day offer from Amazon Canada so I'll pass unless they go down in price. Lupin the Third (2015) I would have added to insta-buy but you're releasing it without the intention of waiting for the English dub that's already in production (most of the Lupin III Part II cast is returning including Richard Epcar). Erased is a maybe but I'll probably end up with the Aniplex version because I'm a fan of Yuki Kajiura's music. Your Lie in April is a similar case but it depends on how it's packaged (the OST Aniplex have is already available on its own so I'll won't lose anything if it get the UK version).

Why I got the @Anime French release of SamFlam part 2 as it comes with English subtitles, I just couldn't wait any longer.

Shame, it's out next month!

AP

Huzzah. I was worried there for a second. Now I can pickup Part 1. :lol:

Looking at that schedule, does that mean no more Gundam this year after Zeta?

I know it's an apples and oranges scenario comparing us to the US market but by this point right stuf has released pretty much every show, while the UK releases are only just on the second ever series.

Actually, we just haven't scheduled 'em yet. Watch this space .

I'm watching. :ugeek:

Re Lupin - the licensor hadn't made us aware of a dub actually, so now I do know, I'll delay to 2017 and await the dub!

Re Anthem - We'll be translating the booklets for sure as I love the film so much. OST is unsurprisingly unavailable sadly.

Thanks!

The joys of online shopping software - given the payment systems used, it has to be cancelled manually to ensure your money is refunded . We've never not refunded someone on request and follow the distance selling rules on that too may I add.

I don't doubt that you'd refund if asked, but with preorders that you pay for on dispatch, one can accumulate a lot of preorders at different retailers and might need to cancel one at a moment's notice.

That Erased release!

Would it be possible to wait a couple of months, and do an Erased Ultimate Edition complete series instead for around £110 RRP? I'm guessing no.

I know that it's pre-orders and day one purchases that benefit the anime industry, and not waiting for a sale 12 months down the line, but it's been said before and it will be said again. Aniplex ask far too much of the anime fanbase, and give back too little. Sure, you get your Madoka Magicas and your Monogataris, but I want my Servant X Service, Silver Spoon, and Mushi-shi Blu-rays. Those Aniplex either gives desultory, and wholly overpriced barebones DVD releases or they don't release them at all. It's telling when the only Magi and Zvezda Blu-rays in the western world come from Kaze! And they've got their version of the Disney vault, where they simply lock away licenses and sit on them. What they're doing to the Full Metal Alchemist franchise is a cultural crime. Can you imagine someone treating the Marvel Universe that way? They have this daft idea that streaming is good enough for the average fan, and that only the elite with money to burn deserve physical releases, and they're exporting that view around the world.

The bottom line is that they believe that fans alone should subsidise the anime industry, and when using business practices that exclude the casual fan, that's an obvious path to self-destruction.



I just placed an order for the Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-ray, just £55. This isn't a boast about getting some 8000 minutes of HD television for less than the price of half of Erased by the way. This is actually a comment on how Paramount/CBS actually did a total Aniplex and messed up. When the Next Gen HD project started, it was about going back to the film vault, editing the original film with newly created HD effects, and making the show ready for the HD age. But CBS said that they were doing it all for the fans, meaning fans would foot the bill. They also said that if it was a success, it would allow show's like Voyager and DS9 to be restored for HD as well. All well and good, but they never really bothered advertising it, expecting fan word of mouth to be enough, and when the season sets were released, they were asking around £100 each. That's £700 for the whole lot. That's stuck in the 2000 mindset of when they released the DVDs at £130 per season. The lack of advertising didn't help, but of course they didn't sell, certainly not enough to justify the same treatment to the other series. So it's since become a matter of breaking even on the expenditure on the HD upgrade. The season sets were and are continually discounted, from £100 to £70 to £50 to £30. I believe they're on sale for £15 each at the moment. Those discounts didn't work, so they created the complete collection, that has an RRP of £220. And guess what, that doesn't sell either, which is why I'm able to pick it up now at a quarter the price, less than 18 months after release. That's a hell of sale. CBS are desperate to break even, all because they relied on the fans!

Compare that to Fox and The X Files. For them, updating the X Files was about making it HD suitable, and admittedly they did it on the cheap, using the original film elements for HD and widescreen footage, and merely up-scaling the effects shots, but they also did it on the quiet, without any brouhaha, and the first anyone knew about it was when an obscure German channel started broadcasting the X Files in HD. This is one instance when word of mouth worked, comparison shots started appearing on the Internet, and people started asking Fox when they could see it. And last year we get a Season 1-9 boxset for £170 RRP (you can get it on sale for half price now), and they subsequently started releasing the individual season sets. They even got the new Event series through sheer positivity. Fox invested in the future and reaped the rewards, CBS expected the fans to invest in them, and now bear the burden.

For ERASED: Have you actually seen any other release we've done before that are AoA? Confused by the reaction all of a sudden... That said, looks like SRP was wrong, but is £59.99 any better for you really? Extras are pretty good for ERASED actually - will keep folks updated on that one but I think basically we get what the USA does minus the OST and Manga extract. Which given the US SRP is £90, I think isn't a bad saving...

AP

*I'm coming back to edit this as really I should be mentioning SRP rather than what I paid for fairness.*

I mean yeah I've seen em, own some too. Here's the thing though (and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here), none the others had a SRP of £10 an episode.
Kill la Kill has a SRP of £180 for all of it but that's 24 episodes plus an OVA, so around £7.20 an episode, which is crazy itself but still not £10 (those are also very nice sets, probably your best imo).
Durarara!!x2 Shou had a SRP of £69.99 I think? We gave up an OVA to get it to that price (which is still complete BS) so £5.80 an episode there.
The only others I have are Baccano & the first series of Durarara!! but not sure where you got them and being older shows probably wouldn't be a fair comparison anyway.
And while I don't own them, didn't your SAO II sets have a SRP of £39.99? I understand that SAO is gonna shift a lot more copies than ERASED will but still seems kinda silly.

Of course these aren't what I paid for these shows (£110ish for all of KLK, 40ish for Durarara!!x2). ERASED is going to have to drop to around £30 a part for me to buy it, £35 could have me considering it.

Anyway I'm not gonna waste your time going on about it, I've put it out there that I think the price is too much, I'll await the retailer discounts but unless it goes for around half it's SRP I'll most likely not own a show I loved. The whole "it's cheaper than AoA.." argument doesn't do it for me either, my first car was also cheaper than some AoA shows cost.

I'm now sitting here thinking "hmm, maybe Jerome is right after all....", and that's not a good thing for me lol.

On a more positive, less making me come across as a complete ******** note, glad to see more Gundam is coming.

That's a fair point there for them but as for exporting that view round the world - it's really not the case for us.

At least to me it's less about the streaming is good enough for the average fan and physical is for the elite there. My opinion is pretty straightforwards - we're huge fans and love to do cool things with packaging. That costs money so we have to give it a bit of time to build up and then as soon as we're able a standard should follow. Digital is something I believe should be present regardless to replace the old option of try via piracy or to just watch casually if you'd watch then never touch again.

I'd like to think we've demonstrated that policy pretty well but am open to points to the counter if people feel so? Only one I feel like we didn't do that on is FMP! which we'll be redressing soon (sorry it took so long). Even for Aniplex titles as soon as we can we do deliver a cheaper edition for folks and we work with what we can to deliver good value from the situation we're in too. It may not always be the same as the USA, but it will always be cheaper for sure - not price-matched to the USA for example and we'll make it digitally available asap to balance too.

Does that gel with how people see it too or would you like it done another way? No guarantees that we can for example but I'm always willing to listen and consider at least .

And while I don't own them, didn't your SAO II sets have a SRP of £39.99? I understand that SAO is gonna shift a lot more copies than ERASED will but still seems kinda silly.

I like this kind of comparison, I think there's a lot of credit to go on doing things this way and really I do encourage it ! You earn bonus points from me for it too!

The price difference makes a huge deal, I'd assumed ERASED (as much as I love the show) is a 1,000 - 1,500 kinda run show maximum over a year or so. Whereas SAO II is easily a 3,000 - 4,000 comparably so the unit savings you make there are pretty significant. This allows the price to come down and your break evens are higher, but you're also likely to do it in your first month.

ERASED with a similarly nice treatment (good packaging, nice book with translation etc) does wrack up cost. Like I said before, the SRP was meant to be £59.99 and it was on the assumption we had all the extras of the USA (OST, Manga chapter etc). Since that listing it looks like we won't so we'll definitely be scaling it down.

Ideally you'd see it on the KLK scale so about £39.99 - £49.99 max - but we need to see what the actual materials available are and what we can get at that price first. Maybe if we aim for 2,000 we can push the prices down to hit that if it's just a booklet as well given the 6 episode count too but at the time the price was set assuming both were available, since they're not that buys me some space to negotiate .

Of course these aren't what I paid for these shows (£110ish for all of KLK, 40ish for Durarara!!x2). ERASED is going to have to drop to around £30 a part for me to buy it, £35 could have me considering it.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and there'll be an opportunity to buy circa that price either on retail or via an All the Anime special offer there, we certainly want to make it available to as many as we can as it's a show we really, really really love here. Easily my favourite show of that season (Kabaneri steals show of the year so far for me though).

Anyway I'm not gonna waste your time going on about it, I've put it out there that I think the price is too much, I'll await the retailer discounts but unless it goes for around half it's SRP I'll most likely not own a show I loved. The whole "it's cheaper than AoA.." argument doesn't do it for me either, my first car was also cheaper than some AoA shows cost.

I'm now sitting here thinking "hmm, maybe Jerome is right after all....", and that's not a good thing for me lol.

Haha - good point there too actually! The trouble is - sometimes the best we can do is gun at a closer to UK standard price and have to sit in-between. I'm hoping given what we can access that this won't be one of those so while it'll be two sets that maybe we can balance the prices out somewhat. Watch this space, you make a compelling point though .

On a more positive, less making me come across as a complete ******** note, glad to see more Gundam is coming.

You don't look like that at all - you made a compelling case and it was reasoned, with actual numbers behind it which made it really fun to discuss . I appreciate that too!

Re Gundam - definitely is, awaiting packaging files now but expect Build, Build Try and Victory as soon as we can get packaging approved to be scheduled .

I should really try those Gurren Lagann, Full Metal Panic, Mobile Suit Gundam '79, and Ping Pong blu-rays that I own at some point, and maybe watch collection 2 and 3 of Kill la Kill as well.
