UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Considering how disappointed I was with their previous two deluxe editions and none of the extras from the older releases carried over to this set, I don't think I'll bother with the Deluxe Edition. They take up more space than they should on the shelf anyway.

Good to know regarding the extras and that is disappointing. I won't be binning off my Blu-ray and DVD copies just yet then, lol.

In light of that, if there was no CD, I'd probably go for the steelbook, but I am a sucker for a CD soundtrack 😰

I'd be ok as a choice, but as I hate steelbooks that would just guarantee I'd never buy another CE, though I generally don't anyway so I suppose I'm complaining about nothing. 😄

regarding the theatrical presentation of the first 2 episodes of The Ghost in the Shell, useful to know that it will be dub only I would imagine (a reverse of what I was expecting myself).

There's question around this at the moment, Amazon (who are streaming the show) has been known to send dubs to particular recording studios not known for quality output (Fist of the North Star was particularly hilarious, and that South African studio has produced a lot of poor work for the company) but given this arrangement and the companies involved on the committee, it may well be someone else there has a hand in this. I would certainly hope so, anyway, might be a good sign on that front.

No cast details have been revealed on the Japanese side, a trailer with voice over was released but I didn't recognise Akio Otsuka or Koichi Yamadera in their last trailer so I have my doubts they are sticking with the OG/SAC cast where they can. We will see though. I would therefore have my doubts about that replicated in English either. Still, might be fun to have Crispin Freeman back as Togusa, could definitely work (and would prevent some shenanigans in production)

I wonder if this means we will get a physical release of the first season and a possible second season from anime limited?

This is exactly why we don't typically include Steelbooks in Collector's sets - it's a divisive topic, but whenever we've asked in surveys etc more people have wanted us to keep the Steelbook out of the Collector's set than include it.

It's also a per-title based decision, dependant upon print run size, cost and other factors.

I wish they'd better keep up on Bluesky. I know many bailed on it after a few months, but having to pop into X now feels like sticking my full arm down a blocked toilet....

We're in the process of moving to different social media management software that (from early testing) seems to actually work properly with BlueSky - once that's finalised and we're fully migrated we should be able to start posting everything there more easily.
 
If anyone bought the Gundam Seed collector's editions, (as opposed to the ultimate edition), please could someone clarify something for me?

I ordered from Amazon what was labelled as the limited edition of part 2, with a booklet included, and I'm not sure that I've been sent the right version. Is the booklet supposed to be inside the case, or is it supposed to be sealed to the case itself in plastic?

I haven't opened the plastic on the case as don't want to compromise it if I need to make a return, so if it's supposed to be inside then fair enough, but it's definitely not attached to the outside. I think my copy of future boy Conan came with it attached to the outside which is why I assumed it would be like that.

It's supposed to be outside the case under the shrink-wrap.

Thanks for confirming - I thought so. Oh well - hopefully the return goes ok.

They probably didn't update their listing as the standard is the same price as the CE.

It happened to me before with a season of Agents of Shield. The listing stated it was the digipack and the amray version arrived. They refund me and let me keep the set.

I reordered off Zavvi and the same thing happened, thankfully they had one empty digipack left for replacements and they arranged to send that to me.

There are frames missing in the Perfect Blue UHD when the photographer is stabbed repeatedly. The screen goes black during those parts. This also happens on the Japanese UHD. Video comparison with Blu-ray (slowed down to 6fps for easier viewing)

This happens again a few seconds later, but I'm not showing it here because of exposed breasts and pubes. Because these shots are repeated, the missing frames can be replaced easily. I hope that this can be fixed in the standard edition.

There's another error early in the film that I noticed that should not be difficult to paint out: View attachment 43307

According to Blu-ray.com reviewer Randy Miller III, the black frames have been fixed in the GKIDS steelbook release that's coming out next week. The single frame with the blocks has not been fixed though.

FYI: the new Steelbook combo pack fixes the black frame error at 57:20.
It is indeed the correct nude close-up for all you pube peepers.

However... that single frame with small black blocks is still present.
