UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

@Hanners I was browsing a second hand site and saw that ALL the Anime France had released some Wold masterpiece theater anime in the past, like Tom Saywer and Nils Holgerson. Is this something that might happen in the uk as well in the future? Would love to own them!

At the very least, I think there that would be interest in the ones that had involvement by major Ghibli names like Heidi, 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother and Anne of Green Gables, as they were helmed by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. On that note, I think it’d be pretty cool if AL could release some more Osamu Dezaki shows like The Rose of Versailles and Dear Brother, which have received USBD releases by Discotek.

Unlikely sadly - those shows have a long and successfully history in France, whereas they're practically unknown in the UK. Add in BBFC costs and it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense at this point in time.

Crunchyroll and MVM stock from the sale period is still incoming - there are a few items that we've needed to order additional stock in of (RE:Zero Season 2, Durarara and Cardcaptor Sakura notably), but there shouldn't be anything holding up any orders beyond that so reach out to our usual customer service channel so we can check on things otherwise!

That'll be what's holding up my order then. Jolly good.
 
@Hanners The Sparks of Tomorrow event isn't on the MCM website despite reservations for panels going live tomorrow, will there be a way to reserve my spot there soon or is it whoever can get in first on the day? (Unless I got something wrong, I'm new to cons)

This can be a tricky thing because it's a relatively recent trend. For the longest time it used to be that your ticket or pass granted you access to effectively everything bar separate ticketed adjacent events (case in point, way back when AL rented out a nearby small cinema to offer the MCM Loves Anime film fest). But now a lot of stuff is locked behind specific tickets and if you haven't bought them it's a no go. Case in point last year they had David Tennant and despite being told a press pass would get me in if I arrived early enough, I was quite forcefully booted.

The good thing is AL generally try to keep their stuff open but of course they're ultimately at the discretion of the event.

As far as I'm aware it's an open event for anyone with an MCM ticket, so it'll just be first come, first served on the day (and it's a big auditorium so I'd expect a decent amount of space).
 
@Hanners I’ve asked this on here before but my previous post must have got lost in the mix; any chance you could get the original Love Live: School Idol Project for a new Blu-ray release? It’s the only one missing from your catalogue and MVM’s Blus are long OOP so would be nice to see them get a new release.
