I just checked the blog post when plans were announced and they did state every couple of months for the Collectors editions.

Standards i assume are every month much like Bleach is supposed to be. (Edit -same blog does confirm the plan was every month for Naruto standards)

They did state that they Bleach CE with art box (sets 6&10) may see a break between releases due to more approval requirements.

This is what they replied to someone about Naruto CE 2

Re:Zro Season 2 Part 1 is due out today, but no sign of dispatch as yet. What do we thiink - this week, or the typical AL delay?

It's been delayed until December 9th according to AoL, not unusual for the AL webstore to not have dates updated.

This means both parts will be released on the same day, unless the second part gets delayed too.

You would think they could at least let people who have (pre-)ordered know. Or update their own website.
But no. We’re used to this, and it’s completely expected to have to find out in some roundabout way from a third party.

And I said this before, but the title seemed to be all ready for release (well over a year ago), before it got ‘transferred’ to AL (and split into two parts). It’s like they don’t do anything until the week before the due date.

All I want from Christmas is for AL to announce license for Dear Brother/Oniisama e.
(I know it will never happen but let me be delusional for a moment)

Another thing I want from Christmas is for AL to announce license for The Rose of Versailles.
(I know this will never happen either but I wanted to be delusional again)
 
Anime Limited revealed their Eminence in Shadow CE today and I'm passing on it, as much as I would have wanted to own it in a CE format.

I have Sentai's release already because I bought it last year and back then there was zero news about a UK release, but I was hoping to double dip on a nice set and the end result is fine, but not enough to consider a purchase at this point. Given that the series is 2-cours (i.e. 20 episodes), its a higher price so I expected that, but now that you have to pay for postage you're looking at either paying £53.49 or £48.49 if you have Anime Unlimited. Free shipping is £50 onwards for the item price I believe so it just misses the window.

The booklet looks decent but the artwork of the box could have been better. If Crunchyroll had the license they would have given it the Shield Hero treatment I reckon. The CE itself is good for those who didn't import the US release, but I think in this day and age, a series like this which was already popular/had a pretty decent following to begin with, should have been licensed and released much sooner.
 
Yeah I think around this time last year they revealed their 12 Day plans and titles for those days - haven’t seen anything so far.

AL have become generally quieter about announcing things in advance over the last year, so I wonder if we'll get advance notice of the 12 Days plans at all. For that matter, I wonder if they're even doing a bunch of early bird announcements during the sale this year.

Because he's Shady.
