UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Thinking on it, I'm not even sure what this implies.

"Thanks for letting us know the booklet has errors." Ok, are you going to offer buyers a corrected reprint?
"These are the subs the licensor gave us." Then I think you should probably go back and explain you have negative consumer response to them.

I'm well aware from multiple professional experiences how stubborn/formidable Sunrise can be. But this is not good enough. Everytime a UK Gundam release is low quality AL just shrugs and says "That's what you're getting." Reminder this is a £100 set. If fans are going to part with that they might as well just use it cover importing US releases. At least those have a consistent quality.

And lets not forget the exact same set was released in France with the only difference being the language the booklet was translated to and is £20 cheaper.
 
Doesn’t AL France have a bunch of issues with their releases that they never fix as well? Then when asked about said issues, they say its on AL UK or just don’t respond. But when AL UK is asked about AL Frances issues they say it’s on AL France. Seems like both companies have this issue of having problems with their releases and then try to ignore the problems for as long as possible.

Naruto Set 1 pre-orders have already gone live on Zavvi - obviously no collector's box with these orders however.

Naruto Set 2 has also gone live on Zavvi with a release date of November 4th 2024. I don't think we've seen the set 2 artwork before? I wonder if AL will also have set 2 available for pre-order as well when they go live. Hopefully they'll have a decent EB or a bundle deal.

Standard editions also up on Zavvi.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who got confused there for a moment. I was wondering why part 2 was up there.
 
I hope the Naruto BDs do sell well in the year 2024.

Compared to Bleach and One Piece, Naruto nowadays isn't the massive money maker as it used to be, although I'm fear that the later fillerish BD sets will be very poor sellers.

Most people buying the CE will probably do it for completions sake the standards will sell badly

The way the filler is set out, you kind of have to buy all the sets if you're getting the CEs. You need up to episode 135 (or up to 142, but you can get away with watching up to 135 and then skipping to the final episode) + the final episode to have all the canon episodes.

So you'll need collector editions up to set 3 (episodes 1-165) + set 4 for the final episode.

As @ussjtrunks says, some standard editions will probably sell less well because of this. If you want to go through a filler-free run with the standard editions, you'd need sets 1 to 5 (1 to 137) and set 8 for the last episode (220).

Sets 6 and 7 will be the big filler sets that will likely sell worse. And if you want to be a completionist and have every bit of canon you'll need episodes 141 and 142 as well, so you'll need set 6. Set 7 is entirely filler.

Amazon UK seem to have also listed the first 4 Naruto standard edition sets (like Zavvi).

HMV also have Naruto set 2 CE available for pre-order. I wonder why Anime Limited haven't also put it up, I want my discount!

I wonder if AL are going live with Naruto set 2 CE at 17:00, because they said pre-orders for set 1 would go live at 17:00 today on their website, but it was put up way earlier this morning. But knowing AL, it's probably just them being disorganised.

AL almost certainly are going to give them seperate early bird deals so I’d expect it after early bird for part 1 ends
 
Maybe they know that there will be orders on their site from people knowing it is going to be there and the plans.
Whereas Zavvi is targeting customs who don't know that and want to show it has multiple releases planned.
Still odd they showed it first though.

Details for set 1 and 2 Collector's and standard edition volumes 1-4 were sent out to all retailers this morning, hence them showing up everywhere including us 👍
 
One advantage with pre-ordering via Amazon is the money doesn't leave the account until the product is getting ready to be shipped out

Especially as no doubt it will get delayed as everything AL gets delayed ;)
