UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

PS:
@Hanny, there is an additional, somewhat minor issue I am unsure if you can correct, to go alongside my Cyberpunk CE 8th query/delay suspicion (is it still on time/just as planned?): the Devilman leaflet-thing has a... typo?, and an incorrect run-time for good measure as 10 episodes<<<>>>119 minutes does not go, even in my math-addled brain.
I'm not sure why the image is sideways, my sincere apologies for this. Please turn your head/phone.

Granted, some might throw the leaflet away, eager to behold their textured square. But not I! No, given my average word count, I was instantly drawn to the 25 words--they took me back to my days spent attempting to cram mini-reviews into MAL list tags. BUT THEN, my 👀 s were drawn to... "demon-boU". This momentarily stumped me as to what a 'bou' is, till it dawned on me: it's either a 'U' or a 'Y'; without its bottom end.

The description also reads very...rushed. Whilst I understand the historical terminology, in a modern anime watcher context a "degenerate war" still makes one envision 4chan as opposed to the final battle between man and demonbou-kind.
A man can do a lot with small spaces, and surely something along the lines of 'In this reimagining of a classic that inspired a generation, Masaaki Yuasa woves friendship, lust and gore as the line between man and beast is irrevocably blurred' - I had to cheat with a few extra words, but the point remains.

'Tis most like much too late to do anything, much like with re-sizing the square so I'm not left with three AL squares of differing sizes, but this is all I can do. The rest, I leave to you.

All Gundam series usually had Part 1 with a Box & Part 2 with an Amaray and a booklet / artbook.
Most Gundam series were like 50 episodes, so splitting it into 2 parts was quite reasonable - I mean most other series were only like 12 episodes per set for the same price per unit.
I learned something. I think. :)
I’ll forget it again soon enough.

I’d find that incredibly annoying. But I’m not (yet) any form of captive Gundam fan - I’ve got a shelf-and-a-half of Gundam titles from AL, but haven’t watched a single series yet.
In this case, it turns out I have indeed got the UEs of the Seed series. But I’m quite confident that those were a single SKU (just bigger still with the SD discs and hard book), so splitting it up for the CE version just seems strange.
 
Does anyone have information on how quickly orders placed will ship out?

We're currently asking customers to allow additional time for shipment of orders due to an incredibly busy Christmas period and a large number of pre-order products which also need to be shipped. At this time we don't have an ETA on any specific orders, but any orders will be shipped as soon as possible.

Pre-order shipments are still on-going currently (there is a lot of Arcane Collector's sets to ship), and we're expectign Cyberpunk to arrive on Monday all being well (delivery was delayed due to staff sickness at the company shipping to us), but after that Christmas sale order shipping will commence.
 
Huh, nobody in UK got their Christmas sale orders by now?
I thought some would arrived at their addresses by now since this would be day 8.
How long do people normally get their items without shipping delays, 3 or 4 days?

Understood. Thanks for the update and hope you all feel better!

No one is getting their christmas orders till after it is over and probably after the new years.
 
It's probably gonna be several more days before any sale orders are dispatched then. This might be the first time we don't find out what's in the mystery boxes before the sale ends. Can't remember if that happened before.

Tbh, if the tradeoff was getting Perfect Blue, Cyberpunk, and Devilman (and whatever Arcane is) before Christmas, it's a worthwhile one. Just unfortunate that they all ended up landing at the same time, coinciding with the start of the sale.

Bluntly shouldn’t a notice like this be put onto the website? If there is one I can’t see it
 
I'll probably wait until day 12 to make my order. I want to do one big order because of the mandatory overseas shipment fees. I always waited until the contents of the Mystery Boxes were known, but as it stands we'll probably won't find out about them until it's too late...
 
Is bou not an addition suggesting familiarity.
The Golgo 13 sniper avatar, paired with your man of few words messaging style matching his persona, had me second guessing myself (I had gotten 'Bou' confused with 'Beau'). Thankfully, Google/d.higgens stepped in, in my absence, to cross-check the website description... and spot another, more obvious typo in 'agaiSNt'...

To clear up any remaining doubt, I asked our AI overlords about Boy/Bou: you are correct in Japanese it's a suffix similar to chan, which I assume was your thinking.

With the incorrect run-time (it's around 250m), t'would appear an intern or someone rushing that never watched typed it up in a hasty 5m. I ask @Hanners that this poor soul not be fired, so close to Christmas: as long as it is rectified for future copies of Devilman, all is right with the world... It is going to be, correct?


Just unfortunate that they all ended up landing at the same time, coinciding with the start of the sale.

As Edmond Dantes once said, there are no concidences in this world, Albert/fabio. And fortune is the currency of the wise. Were I harsh, I would say opting to ship their biggest releases of the year during the the xmas sale unwise. At least for those that will be left waiting~

But where there is life there is hope, and all AL need to do is get me Cyberpunk (plus whatever Arcane is to their buyers) in a timely manner... and all the xmas orders that have been waiting before going on holiday, and all will be well. My order on release date is as of yet unsent but I have faith Hanners will not fail me.

PS: I noted Hanners clocked in at 12:03am today, only three minutes into the working week! Good lord, Anime Limited must be as villainously efficient as Amazon these days...

From the sound of it, is Arcane expected to ship this week for arrivals ideally on the 15th? Or ship 15th?
 
We're currently working on this - long story short, Amazon have somehow managed to order way more units than they were supposed to have access to and have basically taken allocations meant for other retailers (including a chunk of our stock), so we're working to get it back from Amazon and into the system so that it can go to the correct retailers.
