Future Boy Conan 4K and In/Spectre have been dispatched for me as well.
We're putting our orders in today after seeing customers getting dispatch emails, so all being well we should get stock Friday.Meanwhile, I suppose AOL will only ship out my copies of Future Boy Conan 4K and In/Spectre on their actual release dates...

Spotted a Future Boy Conan complete series on blu ray on AoL, did I miss this announcement or did AoL jump the gun?
www.anime-on-line.com
Edit: reading the description says comes with a rigid case "to fit part 2" so I'm assuming as AoL just copy n paste the info they're given it's not as complete as one would expect a complete collection to be or more likely AL did the old 'just copy the other version no one will notice'
Also fingers crossed its just a copy of the French blu ray as that is really nice and the 4K was far too rich for my blood.

Violet Evergarden the Movie - 4K UHD + Blu-ray Collector's Edition
Violet Evergarden, a former child soldier turned “Auto Memory Doll” scribe, has made a name for herself writing letters that evoke the feelings her clients cannot, in pursuit of understanding the meaning behind the “I love you” spoken to her long ago. When a terminally ill boy asks her to...

It's limited to Anime Ltd store and Zavvi or not? They removed "Zavvi" and note about exclusive, so it could be available in other stores?

It's available on AOL. The exclusive part was erroneously copied from Belle, it isn't even listed on Zavvi yet and they've made no mention of it being their exclusive on SMS or via email.Violet Evergarden the Movie - 4K UHD + Blu-ray Collector's Edition

I forgot when and where but I remember hearing that someone from Anime Limited did mention they have the rights to the movie, they're very likely waiting for Discotek to release it as AL's sets use Discotek's discs.
For the future of KonoSuba! though, that's up in the air, would love AL to be able to release the two new seasons in the future of course though.

I think quite clear AL will get it (they are listed for the credits among the TV show being released by them) just hope they can get 3.33 off FUNi to release 3.333 in 4K

Is there even the remotest update at all on AL's Blu-ray release of We Rent Tsukumogami? They announced the license quite a while ago, and then not a peep from them since. I've been really chomping at the bit for a physical release; I even imported the Japanese B2 poster for the series. I don't want to see that series dropped from being released.

So, I have Future Boy Conan (Part 1) in hand and it's a beauty. When it was first revealed, I was a bit disappointed that it didn't use the art from the Japanese set but this has a nice, subtle embossing that actually looks quite classy and the silhouette style reminds me of the Japanese Ghibli Blu-Rays. Hopefully if/when Anime Limited licence other very early Miyazaki/Takahata like Anne of Green Gables, Marco, Panda Go Panda etc. then they can have a consistent art style like this one.
As for what's on the disc - I've only sampled the first couple of episodes as I'm saving it until Part 2 is out but what I've seen is very pleasing. It's not going to blow anyone's socks off as a 4K reference disc - it's a TV production from 1978 and in that sense it was a surprising choice as the first anime series to be released on the format. However, while there's some damage as you'd expect, it still looks pretty splendid at its best and certainly the definitive presentation of the series.
As a minor gripe, I can't find any way of watching with the original Japanese credits. The English credits are pretty well done and the font matching to the original Japanese is a nice touch but I would have obviously opted for the originals if I had a choice, and it always seems awkward to have English dub credits despite watching in Japanese
As for the series itself, I'll save further commentary for after Part 2 but - as I've said for many years- this is an essential Miyazaki work and practically every theme, if not every recurring element in his later feature film career, can be traced back to this, the Miyazaki urtext. I won't go as far as claiming that it's altogether his best work - his later films are understandably more polished and more refined but there's an appeal in and of itself in Conan's roughness, its freshness; it's the work of a filmmaker putting his ideas out there, who doesn't know if he's ever going to get to do so ever again. Its release here is long overdue. Thank you, Anime Ltd.
