UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

[Oldmario]

A DVD copy (with existing master) only adds like 50p to the production costs - but may save a lot more money later due to savings in distribution.

i wasn't talking about production costs i was talking about the cost to us like on amazon or hmv ect..

More delays from Mangle. They've made such a mess of their release schedule I think it warrants bringing that back. At least Golden Kamuy hasn't been delayed again...yet.

BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defence moves from April 12 to April 26
My Hero Academia Season 4 Part 2 moves from April 26 to June 14
Fruits Basket: Season 2 Part 2 moves from April 12 to April 26

Just reviving the one from when they started dubtitling everything.

That MHA delay made me shed a tear.

I feel like Manga is dying these days and Funi is more than not has taken over.

I remember reading something about lots of Blu ray delays in the US due to them using one of the same ingredients as syringes (which there's a big demand for ) maybe that's affecting European replication as well?

I know Funimation had to temporarily stop stocking new anime for at least the whole of April due to changing warehouse fulfilments but I don't think it would affect Manga's schedule unless the LE assets were a part of that (oddly enough all three of the delayed titles have LE sets).

SO is manga UK going to have a April the first set of sales ?

I've never known Manga to have a sale honestly apart from stores trying to get rid of stock.

interesting they mention Fruits Basket 2, 2, they must mean the LE as I already have the SE.

Did you get it from AoL? Just asking as I preordered it from there, and I'm still waiting.

nope, UP1 as usual for me, only get MVM bits from AoL, unless there's an offer.

Probably should have tried to reassure us better and just left out the words "still the same team"

 

[thedoctor2016]

Isn’t their rumors Jerome is gone so not the same team.

 

[Bakauchuujin]

Wonder what will happen with non Funimation releases from Manga uk, I would like them to continue with Jojo for instance. Would be sad if they can only do Funi releases from now on.
