UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

Australia is getting Re:Zero Season 2 LE and standard in November, so I wondering if the UK branch will re announce it around that time or have it permanently cancelled.
Perhaps they decided it would be a bit of a giggle to use the promo images to do something similar down under: announce for November, cancel completely in October.

Boy what a laff if they decided to do that I wouldn't be annoyed at all./sarcasm (I'm not assuming they will do that I'm just saying if they did it would be depressing and mean!)
 
I will predict that the November 2023 slate aside from Overlord IV will mostly be a catalogue slate for us.
Hopefully we will see Re:Zero S2 or some surprises like Tomdachi Game or Shikimori.

Boruto Set 5 may show up, but that is unlikely since Boruto has been a infamous poor seller everywhere (aside from Japan) especially in the UK.
 
If anyone is interested this is what The Devil is a Part-Timer - Season 2 Part 1 UK release looks like, standard size blu-ray case and slipcover.

(not the best pic, I know 😅)

Makes sense, as its a regular English release and not one with multi language support

as an aside, Beast Tamer, Classroom of the Elite Season 2 and More Than A Married Couple, But Not Lovers from the recent US Crunchyroll November slate all have some combination of French/German Dubs and subs included so, a possibility those will make the way over with slipcovers, different cases etc
 
Weren't the multi-language ones to get the £55 RRP, while the straight Eng/Jp releases to remain affordable?
I don't think they're even consistent on that as Platinum End is £65 RRP while Dawn of the Witch is £55. Both are multi-language. Wouldn't say the EN/JP releases fare much better with RRP ranging from Shield Hero Season 2's £35 to Devil is a Part Timer's £55.
 
No worries, the US release does have one but it's the same image as the sleeve artwork, so your not missing out on anything by not having one. 👍
I guess they had to cut costs somewhere to offer such an impressive package at this bargainlicous price.

I actually looked up (small run) costs, and a glossy box could be as much as 15-20p, so that’s almost a third of a percent. I’m sure we would all prefer to have that premium Amaray and printed inlay while keeping the price low…
 
It looks like Amazon have reopened orders for the standard edition of Re:Zero season 2, the CE is still gone.
Iirc the last time I checked, while it hadn't been delisted it was unavailable for order.

This is most likely a mistake on Amazon's part, but is still odd that it's available for order again.
Yeah it’s unavailable again so probably a mistake. I want it but not import cost enough.
