Just send AL an email. They should get back to you with the info needed.

What does it matter that it's "only" an extra (forgetting the fact that "robust bonus video content" was one of the big bullet points for their release)? The fact is, that a part of their "ultimate" Evangelion release is literally unwatchable unless you understand Japanese. For a product that costs £200 having such a glaring error (how did it even make it past a first pass of QA?) having a well-documented and accessible replacement scheme should be the bare minimum. They absolutely should be automatically sending you out a replacement disc if you had bought it directly from AL. Only knowing that a replacement scheme even exists because you read it on a niche web-forum should be, frankly, inexcusable.
In the past, if a release had a fault that warranted a replacement, AL seemed to go out of their way to make it accessible, whether it be a dedicated page on their website about the scheme, or sending out replacement to those who bought direct without them needing to take action. These days, it seems they only do it begrudgingly, with you having to contact them directly, stating what your issue with the disc is (as if they aren't already aware) and making no effort to make the replacement scheme widely known.

I too got my replacement disc 5 for Evangelion in the post today. Many thanks to Anime Limited. 
I must say I'm rather surprised — especially given some previous examples of Japanese licensors' hyper-protectiveness of assets such as AL's original tight-fitting art box for Your Lie in April or (as @Blaize found out first-hand some time ago) Sentai's chipboard case for Legend of the Galactic Heroes — that I was sent the Eva Blu-ray without any stipulation beyond providing my order number as proof of purchase. I was almost expecting to have to first provide evidence of the destruction of my original disc 5 in the form of video footage showing me affixing it to a wooden cross before setting it alight in an act of ritual sacrifice.
Perhaps in this case Khara were forced to concede that so many buyers performing this same act in unison might trigger a real-life Third Impact and, with it, the annihilation oftheir target market all life on Earth.

They haven't asked for that, but it's not too late to make it!

So is Blood C delayed ?

Ha! I was just coming in here to ask the same thing - Has the Blood-C UE shipped yet, or has it been delayed yet again? It was supposed to release 4/25. That's the only title I'm still waiting on from the AtA Christmas sale.

Well it wasn't listed as releasing on the 25th in the last blog post (which is kinda ridiculous as it would suggest they've known since March and just haven't bothered to let people know...) so I think it's probably safe to assume it's delayed.
Rep on Discord said there will be a blog post on Monday so I guess you may get a new date then.

Sigh. This is what - the third Delay for Blood-C now? Maybe by Christmas this year...

Dammit...looks like I have to triple dip on Emma.

Damn an anime I've never heard of, how about that. Emma sounds like animu Downtown Abbey
Conan P2 came super quick - will add it to next month's purchases for sure.

Yeah I’ll likely be double-dipping eventually.

Did anyone get a newsletter e-mail about this, or was I the only one missed out?

I'm confused about Future Boy Conan... pretty sure originally they were gonna do a proper book of 132 pages? I love Victorian Romance Emma but not sure that I can justify triple dipping when I already own the US BDs.

This would also be a triple-dip for Emma for me - I have the two original Nozomi DVD box sets, of which the first box looks just like the box the UK is getting, and I also have the Emma Kickstarter BD box set. Did anyone here get the Kickstarter set? I can't remember if that one was open to the UK or just the US:

I’ve got the original Nozomi sets (never selling them) and I got the singles in the kickstarter, I couldn’t afford the whole set at the time. I’ll get ALs and then sell my kickstarter singles.
