UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Beez released it here, have their Anime Classics set.

It has not been released in the US on bd yet, I would assume either Sentai or Funimation have it from one of their Sunrise packages

As I pointed out on Twitter, Planetes was not part of any of the Sunrise package deals back in 2013. It was strangely omitted.

And yet still no sub only gundams in 3 years.

The Gundam 0083 movie is sub only, though it is packaged with the OVA which is dubbed.

Won't be Sentai as some of their sunrise titles are being released by Discotek, there are theories that they sat on them too long and have been reissued to other companies. it is just a theory, no real evidence yet.

I was watching the Dragon dock with the ISS. Why, did something cool happen?

 

[Birdie Num Num]

Just talking about how they got into distribution, how they got some licences like In this Corner of the World

Chat has been about effect of covid: none in short term but expect to take a hit in the medium term as full economic effects household become apparent.

Then how they license and the effects of crunchyroll etc getting everything a few years back.

Andrew talking about how pretty much all anime now has to be bid on pre-production with little to no actual content to judge it from is interesting.

Got some chat about the BBFC and how, despite the cost, does have value as more young anime fans dependant on parents paying for content physical and streaming.

Very. I expect something that's anime original would be the most risky. You would have to check who the writter/director were and which studio is making it.
An original is more likely to have an ending though, although even that isn't a guarantee after what happened to Stars Align!

 

[Oldmario]

is everything not getting archived or is it just the special guests stuff that won't be getting archived?

The impression I had was that nothing will be available afterwards

 

[HellCat]

It seems akin to how at MCM they tell us we aren't able to record anything.

Another thought on that point raised about licensing so early. I guess that's why so many terrible Isekai get released. Isekai = popular right?

I think so. The example they used was how after Your Name every new movie was described as the new Your Name to them and it was really hard to work out which ones would actually be worth acquiring.

Now I just imagined the pitch for Promare being like "It's like Your Name, but nothing at all like it"

 

[D1tchd1gger]

I think PROMARE must have been the easiest decision ever.
It's Hiroyuki Imaishi directing a film by Trigger. TICK!

 

[Takei Daloui]

With Promare, you can go "It's by the guys who made Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill". And since they had both and did well, it's probably a safe bet.
