UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

You'd have to go 3 or 6 IMO. Having cours split over releases is likely just going to confuse the hell out of people, especially the more casual viewers. I'd imagine Aniplex will have wanted 6, but hopefully AL argued for 3. Be interesting to see how that plays out.
I don't think it would be any different than breaking up the longer story arcs of series' like Naruto or Bleach into different parts.
 
Hmm... I would like it to match nicely with the existing durarara release, and sit nicely next to it on the shelf. Three boxes with the same width as the existing release would be fine, probably the best way to go, I guess one box would work but leave little room for extras and 6 boxes would probably mean them being thinner and not matching...

Not a fan of either show so can't really comment on how well or not such releases work.

Ultimately it will come down to what was able to be agreed with Aniplex. I suspect that you're probably correct and that it will be either 4 or 5 releases. Personally though, if we can't have it over 3 releases then I'd probably rather have 6 than 4 or 5. Even though it would cost more it would keep things simpler. Obviously most people would probably rather pay less, hence I suspect that you're probably right with 4 or 5.
 
Just wondering, with Durarara!! x2 is it just the first 12 episodes of the second season (Shou) you've licensed OR does this also include the yet to air "Ten" & "Ketsu"?
 
I actually forgot about FMP. They announced that so long ago. Looking forward to it, I have been wanting to watch it for a while. Will Anime Ltd release Second Raid too?

IIRC it was planned as an Ultimate Edition consisting of the First Season, Fummoffu and Second Raid

Ah right, that's cool. I can't even imagine the price though.

Seasons 1 and Second Raid may get standalone releases
 
Good to know they are having standard editions of S1 and 2. Not massively fussed on Fummoffu as IIRC it's a spin off. I'll wait until they announce prices before I decide which I get.

Ha! Yeah, the RRP on that FMP UE is going to be insane but I'll be in for that and Escaflowne.

Im sure Andrew said they were aiming for the same RRP as Gurren Lagann in a post on this forum, will have to try and dig it out!

In other news, Gundam news coming in October (comic con)
 
I can live with the TTGL prices. Just hope the packaging, ie. The digi trays are of far superior quality this time around.

Gundam news could be very exciting!

I think I read somewhere back in this thread that they may not be going for the massive digi trays this time.

That would get a big thumbsup from me!

Think it was the size of the art book with TTGL that kicked it up to that size wasn't it? I'd be more than happy with a more regular sized set, a la KLK or Space Dandy.

FMP Trilogy CE SRP is 70€ in France (and it's currently at 50€ on amazon). I know a licence price vary between countries but the double in UK (while anime is more expensive in france)? Seems pretty odd.
 
Every time Anime Limited make an announcement I can't help hoping that it's Nichijou on Blu-ray.

Setting aside that disappointment (it's not like I really expect it but I can't give up), the announcements were quite interesting.

It looks like I might have to stop buying everything that Anime Limited release. I don't think I can justify blind-buying SAO2 and Aldnoah Zero is unlikely to be my kind of show. I suppose I could give watching both a go though, maybe I'll find I enjoy them and want to get the sets. I'm cautious about SAO because it has many elements that I should like but I'm generally not a fan of over-powered characters and I've heard bad things about the way it treats some of it's characters (though it does seem to be a divisive show in general).

I'll almost certainly get Fuse, it's on my list of obscure things I'm interested in (also on that list "Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl", not sure why I specifically link those two but I guess it's just because they were both released by NISA).

It's fairly likely I'll get the Durarara!! releases, although I should really watch the first season and maybe try the stream since reactions seem to be mixed for the new season.

I hope these shows all do well for Anime Limited because the more money they have the more likely they'll throw some of it away by releasing things I'm hoping for, like Nichijou on Blu-ray. I'm still tempted to get the shows I don't want purely to support Anime Limited because I'm fond of what they've done so far (and they seem to have a good attitude in general, I hope they can keep that up).
