UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

First soul eater, now Yo-Kai! Watch [delayed indefinitely]
What's going on?

Holy crap I forgot Manga even had Yo kai watch! Talk about missing the hype train.
Pretty sure they got a ridiculously long licence on it under the condition they won't release it until the nostalgia wave hits in about 15 - 20 years ala Power Rangers & Digimon. Well played Manga, that's some good forward thinking!

It is disappointing to see a lack of Yokai Watch again, especially as it’s on Netflix so eventually I’ll end up streaming it instead...

Mystery solved. It’s not that streaming effects sales negatively, it’s that not releasing your product effects sales negatively!

Can anyone really be disappointed at the lack of a PAL DVD-only dub-only release of Youkai Watch that stars Johnny Yong Bosch? No, didn't think so.

 

[Watanabe Ken]

I wouldn't insult the Bosch if I was you, insulting a Power Ranger is just asking for trouble.

He was a great Power Ranger, but he's a terrible voice actor.

 

[Neil.T]

he's a terrible voice actor.

I thought his interpretation of Koizumi in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was really rather good. And I don't even like dubs, so that's saying something.

Agreed, I like that softer voice he does, Haruhi Suzumiya in general has a really decent dub.

 

[Neil.T]

Except for the old-school pronunciation of "Mi-KOO-ru". That grates on me.

 

[Watanabe Ken]

His performance as Lelouch in Code Geass is in my opinion is his best work by far.

His Ichigo voice is one of the better Shounen dub lead vocals, took me ages to figure out that he played Renton Thurston in Eureka Seven.

 

[Watanabe Ken]

A lot of people say he doesn't have any range but his voice in Eureka Seven is completely different to his usual voice and like yourself I was also really surprised when I learned it was him playing Renton

Yeah that's a criticism a lot of dub actors get but I can't think of many who really get on my nerves performance-wise

Pokemon I Choose You DVD arrived today, and, I'm sure this surprises exactly no-one, but the bonus DVD of the first movie touted in the listing on Amazon is nowhere to be seen. Manga gonna Manga.

top tier distributor of the year ./s

According to NEO Magazine anyway...

 

[Demelza]

Disappointing to hear they’ve not included the movie. Not a major loss given how cheap the movies are anyway, but yeah another case of misadvertising.

 

[Shadow Cat]

Maybe its another /Well, we couldn't fit it in the case so we didn't bother/

 

[Baggie_Saiyan]

"The bonus DVD is only included in the film’s first printing, so be quick if you want to get your hands on this bargain!"

Damn @Jaysgba looks like you were too late...

Hi all, Fraser from Manga here. This issue has absolutely nothing to do with us (for once). It's an error on Amazon's part in their back end. Please reach out to them to resolve this, as we previously advised on Twitter.
