UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

I wonder if the Alltheanime store will offer sales on other venders releases, one piece dvds are on sale rn on hmv and amazon would seem like a good thing to offer to capitalise on the films release

You already asked a similar question just over a week ago to which I responded:

I think it could be a similar case to AOL where we'll get a code that can work with other distributors but a sale specifically for those distributors won't be as common. I can only think of two occasions where AOL did reductions on other distributors. The recent Crunchyroll sale and that Christmas sale a few years back where they had a Universal day.

Have I missed something or we still don't know what are the chances of Anime Ltd releasing season 2 of Euphonium? Is there any point in waiting for it? What do you think?

I picked up the Malaysian copy in despair, after waiting for ages for news of this. I actually bought it before Liz and the Blue Bird was released in the US (so a very long time ago in release terms). I would like a legit copy at some point but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm pretty sure one of their reps said it was unlikely

I remember them saying it was a difficult subject and hard to say. Then they released "Liz and the Blue Bird" and I started to believe that something moved in the subject, but probably not a chance. Maybe there will be a movie, but I don't know.

I think I will buy this version of Pony Canon. If I wait like this, it will no longer be available. If I wait like this, it'll end up like March Comes In Like A Lion season 2, that it's no longer available in the US. I'm a little disappointed, that the Anime Ltd cannot say about this subject something.

I think they said it was unlikely even after they licensed the movie tbf

Hear hear. I've also waited for March Comes in Like a Lion S2 until the US version was out of print.... So a few months ago I also decided to buy the second season of the US version of Sound Euphonium despite it being ridiculously expensive...

It would be really nice to have some decisive comments about both series. I understand it's difficult, but it's becoming harder to commit to All the Anime series released over multiple parts or seasons.
 
I'm tempted to pick up the Pony Canyon release myself as well though the price makes it difficult to but I adored the first season and want a complete KyoAni collection. I will wait and see.

I'll likely import the movie soon enough as that is affordable though if AL would release that as well, I'd rather wait but I have no idea if that will be a possibility or not, just like with the second season.

I'm not sure if anyone is keeping track, but the Junk Head Collector's Edition was supposed to be out 3 days ago, but it hasn't been sent out yet. Something tells me there's a delay on that one, but I don't know how long it's been delayed to, as the website still lists it as 14th August (at the time of this writing).

I asked Hanners and he said Junk Head may have stock ready sometime next week.

Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko is to be determined at this point, whilst I have no clue if Eternal 831 got shipped out or not considering I didn't order it or know anyone who has.

While I agree with these concerns it doesn't work so well in the practical sense that these companies will look to how well a series sells to judge whether to license more of it. Rather than seeing customers waiting for confirmation on a second season these companies will instead see a flop and abstain from further seasons. I too am frustrated by this but it helps to consider why they may not be a priority.

Not just sales in general but specifically, preorders and sales within the first 2-3 months of release. Those are the highest margin windows and if sales are dismal, then it really doesn't bode well for the future.
 
To be fair, I can't say I pre-ordered Sound! Euphonium back when it was first released but I wasn't anywhere near as deep into collecting then and probably didn't even know it existed. Same goes for March Comes in Like a Lion, want to track down the CE releases of that. I did make sure to pre-order Liz and the Blue Bird instantly though.
