UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

There's two narratives here for what happened. Either Crunchyroll forced it on them as part of a deal, or they cared about it so little that they basically gave it away for free and AL wanted to do something very funny.

Most probably the former, but I hope it's the latter.

Even if it's forced on them, giving it a COLLECTOR'S EDITION instead of just a standard blu ray is insane.

There is ZERO chance they recoup the costs of producing it and almost certainly guaranteed it'll be a yearly fixture in their Xmas sales until the heat death of the Universe 😂

The thing is, if it was like £20 or less I would buy it instantly purely to gloat that I have one of the worst anime ever crafted on my shelf. Not sure I'd ever watch it, but it's just kind of funny to own.
 
First it was Kings Game

Now its Ex-Arm

Do they want to release the Island of Giant Insects and Pupa while they're at it...

Hell if Crunchyroll originals are an option. High Guardian Spice is 100x better than Ex-Arm

Announcing the "critically discussed" EX-ARM on April Fool's Day. Well played AL.

Sorry not sorry, but WTF WHYYYY?! 😭 Out of all the titles they could have licensed and given a Collector's Edition they go with f*cking EX-ARM? 🙈 Who the heck will buy this piece of garbage? EX-ARM gets licensed but The Rose of Versailles or Oniisama e/Dear Brother doesn't. I have to laugh, otherwise I will cry.
 
Okay, this is actually pretty funny. Missed opportunity to do something truly ridiculous with the collector's edition though - then again, I guess making a collector's edition for Ex-Arm is ridiculous in itself 🙃

This IS an April Fool's joke right?

AL releases have had quality control issues for a while, but this time the show is the quality control issue.

Stranger things have happened. Discotek released Chargeman Ken. Criterion released Salo. There's a market for morbid curiosity about utter ****, I guess. But, assuming this is real, AL releasing Ex-Arm while letting their licence for Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu lapse is going to take me a long time to forgive.
 
Watched a trailer for Ex Arms yesterday as I've never heard of it, & I've never regretted something more. I actually wish I was blind so I wouldn't be able to see that sh***.

Anime Limited may have gotten this title as part of a bundle (probably included with Re Zero S2 or Demon School! Iruma-kun), but surely they don't actually have to release it.
