UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

I hope that Anime Ltd will send me this Nadia disc by standard mail and not using FedEX, because I will also have to pay a terrible amount.

Did you get any news about shipping or was it just there one day?

Do hope so for you.

AL never send out a mail that the replacement was shipped in my case. Just got a mail from the local postal services (BPost in my case) that an item from outside Europe had custom charges. I was puzzled at first as I don’t have anything on order currently, so needed to check the photo BPost send me to know what it could be, and checked the forums here to see the replacement disc has been send out.

A Place Further Than the Universe - Blu-ray + Soundtrack CD Collector'

Scenery that we have never seen. Sounds that we have never heard. Scent that we have never smelled. Food that we have never tasted. And the surge of emotion that we have never experienced. This is the expedition of recollecting the pieces torn apart and sensation left alone. When we reach that...

I've not seen the series but I've heard nothing but good things and I'm sure fans will lap it up at any price.

But dang, £50 for a 13ep series and thats the EB price!! it was only a matter of time after Crunchyroll started charging it for the barebones releases but this really shouldn't be normalised.
We're literally going backwards in time on pricing.
I'm old enough to remember multi volume series with 3 - 5 eps for £25 and looks like we're almost back there again. 🤦‍♂️

Shonen Jump manga volumes used to be £5.99 RRP (probably less before that, but that's as far as my memory goes back), now they're £8.99 RRP a pop. I think everything has just gone up in price over the past few years because of inflation and the cost of materials going up.

£50 is kind of the price you pay for boutique blu-ray collector sets nowadays unfortunately - if you look at a lot of collector's sets on Arrow and other boutique labels, it's kind of the standard price without sales or discounts. I think I paid about £50 for the collector's set of Battle Royale from HMV and that was essentially just two films with a bunch of behind the scenes stuff and nice extras in a nice box. It's £18 for a bog standard blu-ray from Arrow at full price.

I don't remember having a lot of boutique-style anime sets available before. Sure, you used to pay stupid prices for a 4/5 episode DVD, but that was just a disc in a standard case with no bells or whistles.
 
£39.99 has been the typical early bird price for most single cour shows, £44.99 if it has a CD. This has 2 CDs, £49.99 seems to logically follow that increase.

Me too.
I can remember paying about £15 (might be wrong) for each volume of GITS SAC S1. And about £30 for S2 which was released as a complete.
You got a regular disc and a DTS disc and a poster. So they were at least trying a wee bit. The last volume had a version in a big steel tin and a t-shirt so that was great.
Except the tin fitted all but one volume. Surely someone might had said " make it big enough for all" but no. 🤦

To this day, I don't know what DTS is.

The tin fitted all the releases, both the UK and US got the same number of volumes and the same tin. The tin for season 2 is a bit weird though as it's spaced for the steelcases the US limited editions came in.

After my last interaction with a poster, I'm not up for disagreeing with you.
I've posted some pictures.

You have the sets incorrectly inserted, they all fit in spine up.

Completely forgot there is an id badge.
Means I can get into the Section 9 complex. And you can't. 🥳
I'll be watching the Togusa and his "48 hours to solve this" episode after all this debate.

I should probably get all the posters out one day and see if they make a big picture. Only been 20 years.

Did HMV give me a fake tin?

I didn't think HMV had the tin here, iirc the 2 tins were play.com exclusives.

It is the right one though. The reason the sets don't all fit might be due to the slip cases as the US sets didn't have any. The US LEs came with card boxes but they all were larger than a standard slip to fit the soundtracks, figures or t-shirts that came with them.

Even now I'm not much of an online person.
I can guarantee that I bought all volumes at HMV Princes Street Edinburgh as I worked 5 minutes walk from the shop at the time. I even remember pre ordering.
I think they were released once a month.

I suppose it's one reason that £90 for 24 episodes doesn't shock me if I really really want it. Not that has happened very often.

The t-shirt was great to wear as nobody understood it and folk would ask me about it (fortunately more girls than guys).
I was very drunk one night and slipped on grass. That stained it so much, it wouldn't come out. Oh well. It was a fab night.

OMG was it the laughing man shirt? Awesome! Also I misread that as glass initially I'm so glad I was wrong! I have that tin but mostly just use it to store random things tbh XP
