Just noticed that I hadn't had a promotional e-mail from Anime Limited for a month. Went ahead and resubscribed manually. It might be worth checking your e-mail inbox to see when your last e-mail from them was.

I received a marketing email this morning from them about Spy x Family after not receiving anything from them for about a month. I resubscribed manually last night too, so that seems to have sorted it (hopefully).
Looks like the last email I received was 18th March. I haven't received any Anime Unlimited email marketing in ages, so I was never notified on any discount offers and never received the Magazine for last year.

Possibly, but I don't have any insider knowledge that would give me an accurate read on the situation. The most optimistic possible outlook is that this lets The Three Organisations Formerly Known As Embracer focus their organisation structure around one specialised area each, isolating them from any financial risks posed by the others. Even looking at it that way is troubling for AL though, since none of the three new entities are stated as focusing on non-interactive media, and they're bundled in with the AAA game division, which is potentially high profit, but also very high risk. There's the risk of a semi-boutique anime label getting torn up in the churn, depending on whether there's any significant shift in overall business direction for the parent company in this restructure.
A more pessimistic outlook has to factor in that mysterious $2bn deal that fell through a few years ago, the financial implications of which are no doubt a major part of the recent restructures and lay-offs. It raises the question of whether this split is a sinking ship launching a couple of life-rafts in the hope of saving some parts of the business. In that scenario, the hefty AAA-gaming beast that AL is tethered to strikes me as the one closest to the waterline.

This should ship by the weekend by the looks of it.

I completely forgot I even pre-ordered this!
Rental Magica Parts 1 & 2 are now available to order on the AllTheAnime store with a release date for 20th May and 17th June respectively. £39.99 (£35.99 AU discount) per set.
There's no artwork shown for Part 2 (its reusing Part 1).
It looks like the artbooks are the same ones used for Rightstuf's 2009/2010 limited edition DVD releases which is a nice get.
It's also 6 discs in total due to a broadcast order and chronological order (similar to Haruhi).
And despite the listing, the series is subtitled only for those wondering.

There is a £10 bundle discount if you get both in the same order.
Ah nice. I didn't see that unless its hidden during the checkout.

Can you not use the AnimeUnlimited 10% off and the bundle £10 off together?
It's £62 in my basket, will they just cancel the order?

You should be able to. I was able to use both when I ordered the 3 Platabor movies as a bundle a couple of months ago.

Part 2 does have art work on the tweet they did.
Never heard of the series but why 2 rigid cases?! And why 3 BLU RAY discs each!?
Long story short, they're basically taking the Nozomi DVD LEs and swapping the discs with Blu-rays.Part 2 does have art work on the tweet they did.

The Nozomi Blu-rays came with an Episode Guide sheet like this:

Anime Limited have acquired the movie "The Colours Within" (KIMINOIRO).

That's a surprisingly early announcement, considering that the JP cinema release isn't until the end of August.
It's the dream team of Naoko Yamada, Reiko Yoshida and Kensuke Ushio again.
