UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

@Hanners is there a fixed disc available for Kakegurui?
My CE seems to have the extras menu made invisible. You can’t argue that selecting the extras is a gamble as they’re always in the same place, so it’s simply annoying.

I had no idea this was a problem.. Would like an replacement as well then. Its a pity that there are so many mistakes being made. I love a lot of what I own from AL.

We've never had any reports of this issue that I'm aware of - this sounds more likely to be some kind of specific player incompatibility issue. As it's also a master provided to us by Sentai based off their US release, the disc contents and menus are the same as that edition.

I looked this up after encountering the issue (ps3 and stand-alone - I’ll try on some other devices later), and there’s some discussion about it here:

I actually mentioned this when I first got the set back in the beginning of 2022. This was confirmed by other people soon after.


At that time, I believed that Sentai's release could have the same issue, as Anime Limited were using their discs, but thinking about it, I'm probably wrong about that, as the missing episode issue with the Nadia BDs didn't affect previous releases using Sentai's discs (including Sentai's own release).

Being late to the party (blame the height of the pile of shame), I had no idea if there was a fix - I was assuming / expecting based on this earlier multiple reports.
 
@Hanners
Any updates on when the Frieren: Beyond Journey's End BDs will ship?
Have an open order from Dec 1st (#160105) which includes Frieren... it was supposed to be released end of January but that's 3 weeks ago now.
I saw the note: "Crunchyroll titles are ordered on demand - please allow additional time for shipping while stock arrives with us"
But... how long is "additional time"? =)

That's a bit of a weird one, as I've checked on our fulfilment partner's back-end system and this has been shipped and is currently in customs clearance, it just hasn't synced into our system for you to see. I'll drop you the details in a DM.

Sentai had used, and may still use, an authoring software that does not meet the Blu-ray specifications. I guess the problem has lessened over the years as the product got updates, but it is still not perfect.

Contrary to common beliefs, players are very robust. In most cases it's a disc issue, either from an authoring error (human error) or an authoring software bug. Blu-ray systems must undergo draconian testing to be allowed on the market. This is why there are only two-three Blu-ray SoCs manufacturers!! It's that hard.

GKIDS Films (@gkids.com)

GKIDS is proud to announce the acquisition of global home entertainment rights to #Arcane Season 2! 💥 A full product array, including 4K UHD, will be out later this year. Sign up for updates: brnw.ch/21wQOCq

GKIDS have announced they have the rights to Arcane Season 2 on HV, again on 4K and such, for later in the year. Would expect that AL will follow soon.
 
Is Arcane S2 also a 1080p production? They should consider a 1080p UHD BD (Yes - you read that right) with Dolby Vision, rather than an upscaled base layer. The release would be of a higher quality, as both base layer and DV would be blended in their raw definition at 1080p (remember kids, DV is always 1080 regardless of the base layer being 2K or 4K).
 
According to this, GQuuuuuuX screens in the UK 15th March. Haven't found a distributor listing yet but a few cinemas are putting up tentative pages.
