UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

It's because they have the rights for multiple regions this time for both Build Fighters and Movie Trilogy 4K, which I suspect is their new approach going forward, much like how Crunchyroll are doing with providing French & German audio for select titles.

Talking about this has reminded of how Gundam NT is literally one of the worst they've put out (stripped extras, bad authoring, theatrical masters, what an absolute slapshow of a disc that was - not to mention the film was bad enough as it was).
They also had the French rights for other Gundams, e.g. Seed, but used the Nozomi masters for the UK Blu-rays.
On the other hand: Gundam Build Fighters is currently listed as sub-only, whilest the US disc includes an Asian-English dub

I think the AL release DOES include the Eng Animax dub.
 
Newswire up for next month.
Only 3 new preorders
Love Live! Superstar!! Season 1
Gundam Build Fighters
Spy x Family OST

A few new standard editions available too
Cyber City Oedo 808
Irresponsible Captain Tylor OVA
Love Me, Love Me Not
I will be picking up Love Live! Superstar!! Maybe I am just being too picky but AL's new pre-orders have been pretty lacking for me so far, Looking for Magical Doremi is the only new thing I have ordered from them this year. I hope they are cooking up something big in the background and that we get A Place Further than the Universe this year.
 
Nice to see City Hunter finally come to the UK on blu-ray. Anyone know how watchable this is without having seen the series or any of the other movies. I assume it's similar to Lupin or Cat's Eye (seeing as Cat's Eye is from the same creator) where once you know the characters it's fine for the most part. I do plan to watch City Hunter eventually regardless but would be good to know.

From the trailer it seems that the movie is a loose adaptation of the climactic arc of the manga. In that case I would recommend that you are familiar with the character backstories and not just the characters themselves, but I think watching episodes 4 and 5 or reading a couple of paragraphs on wikipedia is enough for that.
 

“Couldn’t make it to Japan Expo? Fear not, we’re bringing news from the show floor to you about two exciting announcements.First up; we’ll be releasing Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War on Collector’s Edition Blu-ray in the UK!”


“Our second announcement is an Anime Ltd favourite - the iconic original series of BLEACH from the 2000s! BLEACH will make a triumphant return to the UK & Ireland on Blu-ray, beginning later this year.”
 
I'll definitely get Thousand Year Blood War, the animation on that should pop nicely on blu-ray, but I assume the original series is just an upscale so not 100% sure I'll double dip, especially as @HWR just said there is always the worry they'll get two or three sets in then stop...
 
Stopped watching Bleach because of the filler during the Arrancar arc. Should I watch the old series before the new one as it does carry on from there

Nice to finally see Bleach come to blu-ray in the UK. Had a feeling AL would start picking up more Viz Media titles but wasn't 100% sure, maybe we could see Naruto or Ranma 1/2 eventually (pretty sure Ranma is a Viz title, right?). Hopefully see more InuYasha soon enough as well (though yet to pick up set one myself).
