A bit of a ****** move to save it for now when they could have done it before people imported but hey ho. Curious to see how they managed to get this one.

Goddamn it 😅 tempted to sell my U.S. LE release now. Considering the UK release will likely be cheaper than what I paid for the U.S. release, I can easily make my money back.

Really weird timeline of events with this release. Crunchyroll must've just somehow forgotten they didn't have the rights for this or something. Hard to blame ALTD for the situation tbh, nice that we're getting it.

It is a messy situation and I can completely understand if Anime Limited only just managed to get their hands on the license like this month alone. I just think that, given how popular the series is and how FOMO can be, if they did have the rights let's say mid-September, they could have gotten more sales from those of us who imported and saving it for today alone is a very risky move.

To be fair Re:ZERO's LEs between AL & Funi have some differences in content and I'm more than happy to double dip if there's enough value to it.

Yeah, fair. I have more confidence in the quality of ALTD's materials these days anyways. Kind of sucks for those who got the US LE, but I'd rather this than ending up with a quadruple-priced multi-language disc with a slipcover made of sawdust.

12 for 12, AL know how to make me broke, Shirobako and Kaiji are definitely highlights.

Though they've released a number of Sentai releases in the past this really opens the floodgates for possibilities, especially with the Animatsu and MVM rescues. Seeing as a number of Animatsu releases didn't include English dubs or OVA's, this is a good chance to fix that and MVM had so many DVD only titles which have blu-ray's in the U.S. from Sentai so I have my fingers crossed for a number of titles now to get license rescues.
 
I think I'll stick with just Blue Giant and Harmonie. Got a few of the other titles from other releases. Shame there was no news with regards to Love Live streaming
I'm never gonna shut up about this lol

Just spoke to @Hanners about announcing re zero now. Apparently he did want to announce it sooner but they only just got the contract so he understands the situation of people importing it.

That's fair. Now all we need is a 200 page artwork of Emilia, Ram, Rem, Crusch, Frederica and Echidna.

I still haven't watched The Witch from Mercury because I'm waiting for the Blu-rays
 
I've been waiting for SHIROBAKO since it disappeared from HiDive. Hopefully it will be both seasons and they will also license the movie.

I'll probably get Harmonie too because of the director.

Also, hopefully it is only a matter of time before they announce Eizouken, since they are getting Sentai stuff.

Blimey, between that and Bleach they're going to be busy for a while. I hope this isn't a sign of them starting to pivot to focusing on Shonen Jump.
