Is something going on with All the Anime?

Back on August 3, I ordered two released Blu-rays from them and they still haven't shipped yet.

Are both titles in-stock and not pre-order titles by any chance? they only ship all items in an order together now instead of partial shipments so if one of the titles fall under awaiting a re-print or isn't out yet that could be why.

If not though definitely try contacting them (though I know these days it's 50 / 50 if you'll get a reply).

EDIT: Re-reading I did see that you mentioned "released" titles, my bad 😅

At least their communication is open and honest, and they've told us the reasons why it is being delayed.

I only watch Naruto in Japanese, so the subtitles being of a high standard is important, so I'm glad they didn't decide just to roll with the subpar subtitles.

Yeah, you don't want the quality of the early Manga dvds between changing terms like ramen to pot noodle or straight up using dubtitles.
 
Though I haven't pre-ordered it I'm glad they're delaying it to make sure the subtitles are up to par considering all the recent issues with a number of releases when it comes to subtitles.

I'd like to assume they've had enough backlash at this point to make sure it doesn't happen again where possible and with Naruto being a major title as well, all eyes will be on it.
 
I normally crap on AL as having the worst QC team out of any label but I genuinely applaud them for delaying when the found a problem (it was 100% the pot noodle subs), communicating it BEFORE release and explaining why.

Hopefully going forward they'll learn all it takes is one quick post and 90% of fans will be happy to wait than receive an inferior product they've just paid a ridiculous amount of money for.

And it saves a crap ton on bad PR.
 
Honestly, if they didn't delay it and we received the pot noodle subs, I would have thrown the set out my window.

Imagine the memes that would have resulted though. A premium Naruto collector's edition set with pot noodle subs would have been so bad that it would have been hilarious. I think they had no choice.
