UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

A decent panel, happy to see Gunbuster emerge and some more Lupin, though I did go a bit deaf when the volume went awry on some of the trailers.
 
Recap on Anime Limited panel.

New announcements:
  • Gundam Build Fighters
  • Mobile Suit Gundam: The Movie Trilogy (4K Ultra HD)
  • Great Pretender
  • Evangelion: 3.0+1.0
New theatrical updates:
  • The First Slam Dunk - 30th August
  • The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes - 14th July
  • Macross Plus
New home video updates:
  • Gunbuster collector's edition Blu-ray
  • Lupin the Third Part 6 collector's edition Blu-ray
  • One Piece Film: Red collector's edition 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray combo pack
Hmm do I upgrade my Gundam....

Evangelion maths equation, Macross, Lupin part 6 all sound good to me though.
 
Disappointed to see the Gundam is shared with Europe so no Nozomi masters. I think we can safely say what they announced was their 2025 Gundam output.
Build Fighters will probably use Nozomi discs. The French release of SEED Destiny was authored locally. The French encodes are hit-or-miss, but so are Nozomi's.
 
Great Pretender is the main announcement to me, but I do hope some questions are answered about it, its ED song is Freddie Mercury's Great Pretender, is that fine? The big one for me though is whether the Netflix dub is included as it's excellent and important to include.

Heya ! The original ending is still there, as will the Netflix dub :).

Very best,

Andrew
 
The Great Pretender is the big announcement for me, I will definitely be in for that one!

Question is, which will get a physical release first - Great Pretender, or We Rent Tsukumogami, which they announced getting HOW MANY YEARS AGO NOW??? Grrr! For as long as we've been waiting for it, it better be a UE release now! I'm gonna soon go @HellCat-Gundam on them about that one (lol)!! 😤

Looking forward to a place further, gunbuster (with spine title hopefully), Gundam build I'm not yet sure about, I already have the movies with box and don't really need the 4k version.

Not seen the great pretender, so I am not yet sure what it's about.
 
Here comes the Negative Nelly... Eh, I don't like Rebuild movie so I'm probably not gonna get the fourth movie... Though the perfectionist in me tells me to get it since the three previous movies were gifted to me and it would be nice to own all the movies in the franchise... Gunbuster... I know it is considered as a classic but... I personally wasn't that impressed by it it. It is okay I guess.
 
Personally I'm quite surprised by the Build Fighters announcement, it's actually one of my favorite Gundam shows but I had never even considered the possibility of AL releasing it, I was expecting G Gundam or 08th MS Team.

Gunbuster is an absolute instabuy for me, I actually preordered the French version the other day.
 
Will be picking up Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 ( when it's released on home video) & Gunbuster. May also pick up Great Pretender, but will find out more about the series before deciding.

Still no Kakegurui season 2?

I asked about it back in April & got no response, so I'm guessing they haven't acquired the licence yet.
