UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

[Hanners]

@Hanners I also have another question. Andrew has said I the past that alltheanime will be returning to mcm this year but most likely October. Is that still the case or are you coming back this May? (Or worse even latter?)

We will be seeing you in May - expect more details soon!

 

[Hanners]

More full length anime would be nice like royal space force - the wings of honneamise 4k or will I have to import the Japanese release.

We've been championing anime on 4K here, and we know a lot of you are as passionate as we are for 4K releases where the material is available, so this is certainly a title we'd love to give the 4K treatment, so we'll see what happens there.

 

[Hanners]

Any chance they will be bringing the rest of castlevania out on blu ray?

We're working on it! More details as and when we have something to share.

This might be a dumb question but will Suzume be a CR or AL release? given CR are handling the cinema release? I’d love to see a 4K blu ray of it

@Hanners More than One lupin Project in the works for this Year ?

Crunchyroll have the rights to the film, we have the rights to the soundtrack.

Thanks

Great to hear. MCM's finally going to feel a bit more like it used to with you guy's there.

 

[Wicker]

Crunchyroll have the rights to the film, we have the rights to the soundtrack.

Are you able to comment on if it is Crunchyroll or yourselves who is holding the rights for Re Zero or Demon Slayer going forward?

 

[Takei Daloui]

I'd be curious to know ReZero S2's fate too. Surprised nothing has appeared in english yet for a title that big.

 

[Jaysgba]

Crunchyroll have the rights to the film, we have the rights to the soundtrack.

It’s not too late to release a steelbook edition of the soundtrack with a spare disc tray.

Re Zero is Aniplex so probably moved over to CR.

 

[Magical Senshi]

Re Zero is Aniplex so probably moved over to CR.

I thought Re:Zero was either TV Tokyo (based on the streams) or Kadokawa, if we're referring to the licensors.

They're on the production committee but Aniplex are the license holders.

 

[Magical Senshi]

They're on the production committee but Aniplex are the license holders.

Considering the Aniplex logo was absent in the home video releases of Season 1, and at the time, Aniplex USA wouldn't allow other distributors to release their titles, I didn't think it was them, unless it was a change of licensors for Season 2.

But wasn't Kadokawa responsible for the poor masters for the home video releases of Season 1 Part 1 (prior to the replacement scheme)?

TV Tokyo are the licensors for the English distributors and on Crunchyroll.

 

[Magical Senshi]

TV Tokyo are the licensors for the English distributors and on Crunchyroll.

This explains the lack of a licensor logo on the case, as TV Tokyo licenses usually lack them, whereas Kadokawa and Aniplex licences would have the logo on the cases. If anything, their idents would normally precede the Funimation/Crunchyroll ident.

When the early bird ends the day before I get paid I am a big fan of Free! though and have been waiting to see these movies for ages now so I can live with spending a bit more on this.

 

[ussjtrunks]

now that all the anime has other vendors too it’d prob be my no1 shop if it has IOSS support, here’s hoping someday
