UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Had hoped to go to one of the repeat showings of SEED Freedom this weekend but I've hurt my neck and right arm so don't think braving trains and underground is a good idea. Did buy a ticket regardless for today's Prince Charles Cinema showing. Was unable to support the initial release weekend and was literally invited to the premiere for free, so I don't mind putting my money where my mouth is.
 
Just finished watching the Blu-ray of AnimeLtd’s release of this and noticed on episode 9 that the onscreen text through out the episode is incorrect. Hoping someone can also confirm this.

This was posted on Blu-ray.com regarding Science Fell in Love. The poster didn't elaborate and nobody there has yet confirmed that anything is amiss. Anyone here, perhaps? I know we buy a lot of anime but few of us actually watch any of it...

Ha I do actually watch what I buy... some of the time... 😅 Unfortunately haven't picked up that title (as in I didn't buy it) so can't verify ^^

I've started watching it and it seems OK so far (up to the opening credits). I'll keep going just in case...

I have Anime Limited's release & the Aus release, but I don't know what I'm looking for. If someone is able to confirm what the correct onscreen text is, I can check both versions.

After checking out both versions it looks like the onscreen text in Anime Limited's release is incorrectly timed, appearing far too early. Anime Limited  REALLY need to start QCing their own discs as this is getting ridiculous now. I'm half expecting Golden Time to be missing the english dub in one or more episodes at this point. 😮‍💨😮‍💨

EDIT: after doing some more checking it appears the mistimed text only affects the english dub, also the title for episode 8 incorrectly pops up instead of episode 9 during the opening credits.

That's really disappointing to hear. I'm almost expecting some kind of subtitle or other kind of error in all their releases now, given how many have been discovered of late.

Anime Limited make it more difficult to support physical media and the overall anime industry when you have communities of people providing a better product on the high seas.
 
I've noticed ever since they were bought by Embracer that release quality and their communication to customers has really dropped off. I know it wasn't perfect before but it's definitely got worse. Also as a small company they never seemed to "get back to normal" after the pandemic lockdowns. We still don't get any review discs from them for example, while we do get stuff offered by MVM.

You want to explain this @Hanners
 
God, why doesn't United Publications sell anime anymore. Now I have to fight for every larger shipment from Anime Ltd, because they use the worst courier in the world, FedEX. Now Anime Ltd sent me a parcel, they did not attach the import documents and they do not want to give me the parcel because they contact the sender who does not respond to them (he has been complaining about the item for half a year - it is a joke. The fact that he is complaining about the lack of a bag in the box with vinyl records, but in November they wrote to me that they would send them at the beginning of January, and then they stopped replying). I thought Anime Ltd was the only one who didn't reply to me, but apparently it doesn't reply to everyone.

Emailed them twice asking simple questions on two different topics - never got a response despite being a customer. Simply ridiculous.

Once they had a day of some questions and answers on "X". I put my question there - they directed me to customer service with a text saying that someone would reply to me within 48 hours. I don't know if they lied on purpose - or if it was other people working there, but it's not very funny.

UP like Okaku were both affiliated to Rightstuf, when Rightstuf went, they had no way to import US releases, that was the reason they existed, as importers, the UK releases were only done to increase custom, the owner of UP said it was time for them to go back to what they were created to do, publish unreleased publications

I know this, but the UK market has closed significantly to Europe since Brexit. Zavvi doesn't ship, Base doesn't ship the same, Amazon doesn't have some titles (e.g. Gundam) and doesn't have UP. I stayed with Anime Ltd which is ok as long as I don't have a problem. If I have it, no one will help me here, because CS doesn't exist there. Additionally, they use FedEX, which is terrible, expensive, etc. (I pick up a parcel for 30GBP and pay 20GBP for their terrible service). Thanks, Anime Ltd. I would prefer to pay £30 for shipping and have DHL.

I will probably try to buy at this MVM store. This Anime (un)limited discount is cool, profitable, but I'm tired of fighting for every package.
 
Looks like the Venus Wars standard and CE are up for order on the AL webstore already.
