UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Has Destiny officially been delayed yet?

I mean earlier today at 4pm they were bigging up an article about the series and their release!
If you had shadow delayed it and not told people who were expecting a shipping notification right about now that is slightly less than wise...

Earlier in the week I asked Hanners on Discord about three specific titles that were due for this month for an update:
  • Gundam SEED Destiny - On target for release (though I reckon it probably won't ship until the week it's due out)
  • Irresponsible Captain Tylor - On target for release (though I reckon it probably won't ship until the week it's due out)
  • Violet Evergarden the Movie - Will be pushed back (I reckon the end of October like the other retailers have done)
But I do agree they need to step it up on the communications part because people shouldn't have to join our AUKN Discord just to find out on a major Anime Limited update which sounds weird considering social media platforms are there for the purpose of providing updates to that kind of stuff.

I'd rather see them use the social feeds to keep us informed over mentioning it's some daft like International Double Cheeseburger Day. And if that's not ideal for them, a mass email as they've long done works fine.

That's kinda my problem with AL at the moment, literally the updates you've just said about 3 upcoming titles could've been a tweet, FB post, Instagram post or whatever. It shouldn't take a random forum member (no offense 🙏) relaying product updates from another forum site for the word to get out 🤷‍♂️
They literally have thousands of followers on socials but instead post about blogs 6 times a day.
Which is fine, if that's what they wanna post then do, but I don't know about others but myself I follow their socials for updates on products.

I am truly shocked. What could possibly have happened between Friday and today that meant it could not achieve its release date yesterday?

The reason given in the email is as follows.

Anime Limited said:
Unfortunately, we've been informed of delays to the production of print elements of this title. As such, the release date has been moved to the date noted above. We're still expecting stock to arrive prior to this date, and your order will ship as soon as completed stock arrives at our fulfilment centre.

I wish they could just deliver a frank explanation of where supply lines stand. A blog post, something sent to email subscribers, whatever. Just something that says "We respect you and the money you put into our company, so to manage expectations here's a thorough explanation of why delays are happening and what we're doing about it."

This whole thing where pre-orders are an absolute lottery is exhausting to go through over and over.
