UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

[Shiroi Hane]

I remember hearing something that FUNi cannot allow Baka & Test to have any more blu-rays printed or something like that. Madman cancelled their blu-ray release that was meant to come out soon.

Here is the cancellation notice on Twitter: Madman Entertainment on Twitter (also affected Haganai).
Something else of note if that a few of Madman's Funimation sub-licenses lately have been DVD-only while Funimation are releasing them on BD in the UK (e.g. Blazblue, Ninja Slayer, Noragami Aragoto, Overlord and Shomin Sample)

-- edit --

The only thing I can think of with regards to "cannot allow" more BDs is more that they just won't be printing any more since the series has been re-issued DVD-only on the S.A.V.E line. Haganai OTOH has gone to the Classics line as is still in-print (or at least still in circulation) on BD.

There will be something more normal sized too - Eureka Seven is actually an experiment in a few ways . More in due course but I did like having a full sized book in FMA and then sets you could put elsewhere in a normal scale so just thinking things through here. That'd address the core issue you have on size.

I am purely free thinking here so to be clear to everyone, one and all, I am not saying it will be this way - I'm just soliciting opinions.

That said - one thing you may see for Eureka Seven on day one (or I am debating) is similar to FMA:

• Ultimate Edition - £149.99 / £199.99 depending on extras with special on the store as per Escaflowne etc in past so in line with that pricing.

• Collector's Edition Part 1 (25 eps, same month) - £49.99 SRP with something small inside OR £39.99 for nice packaging perhaps

• Collector's Edition Part 2 (25 eps, 1-2 months later) - £49.99 SRP with something small inside OR £39.99 for nice packaging perhaps

Or we could do two standard options alongside it but I kind of like the idea of a CE version to complement it. Always open to opinion though .

There's a reason this is taking time too as I need to consider a lot of factors - but it'll all be clear soon enough . Either way, it's in progress! None of the assets are well organised on this one so it's a tonne of work...

Best,

AP

@anime_andrew What I'm hoping for more than anything for the Ultimate Edition is a really nice Artbook. Reason being that there just isn't a nice one available anywhere for just pure Illustrations/Character Sketches etc. Lots of Roman Album type guides but nothing that is heavy on the Art. How close do you think the E7 artbook could be to that of the FMA one? I'd be head over heels if you could match it but I'm not sure there are enough art assets available to do that.

I feel all UEs should come with a soundtrack.

 

[thedoctor2016]

Isn't Escaflowne the only one where that happened.

 

[Jaysgba]

Isn't Escaflowne the only one where that happened.

Think Patema Inverted did as well.
All UEs and some CEs should include a soundtrack if you ask me.

 

[Lambadelta]

Isn't Escaflowne the only one where that happened.

was one of the best reasons to get the Escaflowne UE if you are a fan of the show. The music is beautiful, and awesome.

I would of loved my TiR UE to come with the Soundtrack (Yoko Kanno is just brilliant)

 

[Rui]

I'm still anti-soundtrack since I tend to have already bought them long before a UK edition appears on the scene and I end up with a useless duplicate disc. Including soundtracks where the JP version had bundled exclusive discs too is cool though.

Unfortunately as we know it's not quite as simple as that for companies to get the ost.

For me as well they're useless extras.

It says it does in the description:

In modern day Tokyo, society lives in fear of Ghouls: mysterious creatures who look exactly like humans, yet hunger insatiably for their flesh.

Trapped between two worlds, Ken must survive the violent conflicts of warring Ghoul factions, while attempting to learn more about Ghoul society, his new found powers, and the fine line between man and monster.

Collected together for the first time in the UK this collection includes the complete season one and season two (Tokyo Ghoul √A) with English dub and the original Japanese track with English subtitles. Also included are both Tokyo Ghoul OVA’s “Jack” and “Pinto” in Japanese with English subtitles.

Shame it doesn't come in a artbox like the exclusive fmp collection they have on there website would have made move sense considering the standards haven't been out that long

 

[Dave1988]

Arghh man hate it when they do unfinished box sets._. As they are still makin tokyo ghoul arent they?/

Not in anime form. At least, nothing has been said since Root A ended.

Arghh right was sure they were makin season 3

 

[Watanabe Ken]

They did the same thing with fmp they released the ultimate edition then invisible victory was announced hardly a ultimate edition if it's missing a season

There probably just waiting on the manga for more material can't see why they won't do a season 3 when TG is very popular in japan

 

[Lambadelta]

There is enough content for 2 more seasons in the manga. The anime sold poorly in Japan. Season 1 sold 3.6k copies, and Season 2 sold 2k copies.

 

[DragonBlaze67]

Season 2 was poorly received as well wasn't it? Haven't watched it yet myself so can't comment on it but with a poor reception and sales of Season 2 that usually means no Season 3.

 

[NormanicGrav]

Root A ended up in anime original territory, so chances of a new season are dead on zero unless they do an adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul:re and retcon the anime only watchers.
