UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

[NormanicGrav]

I’m honestly surprised they haven’t yet. I also feel like Mystery of Mamo and Part I are dead ringers to be licensed, but the Lupin train has seemingly come to a swift halt since Part V’s release.

Mystery of Mamo might be in licensing limbo since Manga UK used to release it on DVD over here.

We still have Part 6 that's on its way some point next year at least.

Manga lost the Mamo license years ago. It was also shown in it's dreadful 4K version on a online SLA festival. It'd be nice if AL could bring it over.

@anime_andrew @Hanners @demiopedia just wanted to say merry christmas to the anime limited staff. thanks for your releases this year (some i hope i'm going to open as presents soon) and taking the time to talk to people here on the forum and look forward to your releases next year.

How I try to come off when I complain vs how I actually do.

If I told you there would be no Gundam releases coming out in 2023, which of those images would you be like?

Posting this here because it's adjacent. Zavvi really don't deserve anyone's business, especially not exclusives.

I hate when I have to use Zavvi for any of my UK anime orders. I generally have only used them for AL exclusives, because of the high International shipping fee directly from AL. I really wish AL would use AOL for exclusives instead, they are my go-to shipper to the US.

Is anyone else still waiting for stuff from the Christmas sale?

I ordered 6 Gundam blu-rays on the 1st of December, I received 4 of them on the 7th, but the final two (Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ) are still awaiting dispatch?

Is this just the Royal Mail strike?

They're awaiting reprints: Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ: Part 1 - Blu-ray

Annoyingly they usually don't bother mentioning this to customers who ordered them; they just put a notice on the product page.

Ah, I see that now. TBF they bolded it on the page, but I must have been mesmerised by the sale price and I missed it.

Yes, sell out, Gundam. Make it more likely we'll get more titles because they're profitable....

Time for 4K Gundam releases with Ultimate Editions!

 

[gloomranger]

Oh, we’ll get more Gundam for sure. It’ll just be coming from Crunchyroll instead of Anime Limited.

Boooo!

You were all really saying "boo-urns" right?

Full sincerity, I think Crunchyroll are a terrible company. I don't want to give them money. For any griping I do I firmly view Anime Limited as an ethical company (just look at the voices they platform during Anime Matsuri). Hence I'd rather Gundam in the UK stay where it 'is'.

I don't see Crunchyroll UK wanting to claim UK exclusive rights going forward at this point, especially as they lack the manpower from my perspective (heck if they wanted to get UK only releases then they shouldn't have laid off the Funi UK staff).

In other words other than Gundam Island and maybe Witch from Mercury, I expect Bandai Namco Filmworks (aka Sunrise) will still work with Anime Limited on the Gundam catalogue that Rightstuf have released for the US.

On another note, Demon Slayer's main TV arcs might have a chance with Anime Limited, otherwise they would have been released by the UK branch by now.

Here’s hoping. ^
