UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

[Patient-X]

It wouldn't be an AL release if we received it in the intended year. I look forward to receiving it in January.

Hey, it's Christmas! I'm hoping that Jeremy or Andrew will be coming down my chimney with my mystery box in a sack

 

[HWR]

Mine's boarded up, would I need to send an email giving them an alternative entrance?

 

[Lambadelta]

@anime_andrew @Hanners Can we get a verdict if the mystery boxes will make it for christmas or not?

I know mine won't, tomorrow is the last day for post to Ireland to guarantee delivery before Christmas.

 

[Dave1988]

Doubt it will be before Christmas. It's looking unlikely anyway. Plus its if the postman feels like delivering.....especially if it anything like mine!!!!

 

[IncendiaryLemon]

I'd assume no unless stated otherwise at this point. It's so close to Christmas, post will be quite slow.

Actually last Ireland date was the 16th

I've still not heard anything about shipping for day 5 yona of the dawn

In case you missed it, Amazon does it again and this time I decided to mention it in article form (because people asked me why I didn't do it last time so here it is).

But anywho, they are...

Spoiler

Kino's Journey
The real surprise of the ones I spotted. ADV UK rescue.

Mind Game
No real surprise considering AL helped out with the kickstarter and GKIDS is releasing a standard Blu-ray in the US which meant that AL could follow suit.

Napping Princess
No real surprise considering both AL France and GKIDS are releasing them around the exact same time.

Huh. I love Kino's Journey and would buy a nice LE/CE in a heartbeat but I'm a bit concerned about how it'll look in HD. It's from "that era" which things seem to look horrible upscaled from. Just like friggin' Haibane Renmei.

Well to my knowledge there are no Blu-ray masters (and I doubt there will be thanks to the 2017 adaptation). Plus it's a standard DVD only release I'm afraid.

So was Outlaw Star, to begin with.

No point me buying another DVD release, but if you wanna oblige with a nice Ultimate Edition AL, I won't say no. All the extra movies and the books they came with plus a Kino body pillow, yeah?

 

[Rena Ryuugu]

Nice to see Kino getting another chance here, even if it's DVD only I will still double dip.

Just got an email stating the mystery box has shipped.

 

[Deztista]

Same , it might be a very merry Anime Xmas after all , thxs All the Anime

Just got an email stating the mystery box has shipped.

Same, hope it comes Thursday as I start work late and the postie generally comes before I'm due to leave that day. If it comes tomorrow it'll be a pick up.

Might get lucky and have it arrive on Saturday, not hopeful though. The date for guaranteed delivery before Christmas to Ireland from the UK has already passed.

I believe AL did this one themselves. So thanks go to @anime_andrew, @Hanners and @Jeremy Graves et al for this one and just in general!

 

[Jon O Fun]

My blu ray mystery box has shipped also. But DVD mystery box hasn't....

They probably concentrated on the Blu-Rays as there were 5 times more of them.
