UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

The new Crunchyroll slate is available to pre-order on AOL now but I've noticed Spy x Family S2 LE is £67.49 which is definitley a price hike, not sure if an error or not @MVM
 
For comparison here it is at AL:

SPY x FAMILY Season 2 - DVD/Blu-ray Limited Edition

Yor and Twilight may keep their identities a secret from one another, but the telepathic Anya knows all! Now as they board a cruise, Yor must stop assassins from reaching their target, while Twilight figures out…What does a good dad do on vacation?

I'm glad that limited editions do nothing for me so I'm content with standards.

looks like we like got the tariffs, not the US after all

Rough, also the Kaguya-sama movie has disappeared from the slate after being mentioned on one of the previous sent to press. More Aniplex shenanigans

Do you think we'll ever get the dub for Dragon Ball Daima in the UK?

It hasn't been released in any European country either.

I think it will appear here in some form. Toei often treats their produced dubs as a seperate product (and thats before involving Toei Europe) so I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to sell it to another place as the dub specifically. The BBC seems like a strong possibility but unclear at the moment.
 
I suppose there is a chance that considering the show ends soon that it might get released on BBC iPlayer.

Dragon Ball Super is on there as is One Piece and newer Pokémon shows.

Looks like CR will probably be releasing Bocchi in their May line up as it has appeared partially certified on the BBFC website, only episodes 4-6 have currently been rated.

Bocchi the Rock!

BOCCHI THE ROCK is a Japanese animated series; in this episode, Bocchi writes the band's first song.

I was looking into importing the US release, but I will wait a bit longer if it looks like CR will finally release it in the UK!

I imported and still haven't watched or indeed unwrapped it 🥴 Can't imagine will be too much difference in price anyway though as CR UK prices have been creeping/leaping upwards lately.

Although, given the obscene BBFC costs these days (£9.33 per minute for physical media), I guess we should be thankful that distributors bother at all.

Nine pounds per minute?! In Finland it's about 3 euros (2 pounds) per minute (and possibly less from a private classifier since it's not monopolized) and we barely even have a physical media industry. Really says something about the UK market that it can cost thousands of pounds just to get an age rating for a season of anime and it's still profitable.

Ordering Bocchi US release from Amazon would cost me 67,11 € while ordering the UK release from AOL costs 39,34 €.
