UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

I would have bought a Magis Bride CE but in not importing it

 

[thedoctor2016]

The 2 month delay which wasn’t explained well cemented my importing tbh

 

[Azar]

I almost never buy anything from Zavvi without a 10% off code anyway, so I dont think £45 is too bad. Same price as a non EB AL set.

Does the Manga UK BD of DBZ Kai Season 1 have a lossless English 5.1 Dolby TrueHD track on episode 22 (disc 3)? The Funimation DBZ Kai Season 1 set only has a lossy English 5.1 AC3 track on that episode. File size of that episode is also much smaller than other episodes.

Manga will have just cloned the discs, so unless you here otherwise, assume they'll be the same.

They said the same thing with ghost in the shell.

No they didn’t. They said they didn’t know. They didn’t dismiss it like they did this

That is not “No”

 

[Professor Who]

So let me get this straight... Overlord II will only be released in the UK via a Limited Edition that’s exclusive to a single retailer (Zavvi) with no plans for a standard edition in the future?

If so, wow. That sucks. (It’s sorta like when Sentai released LOTGH only through their own store, but LOTGH is a niche series- Overlord isn’t.)

 

[TiagoCosta]

Highly doubt it will stay LE only forever.

If it does it sets a worrying precedent for future funi+manga releases..

 

[Darren Skippings]

No sale here then, don't buy from Zavvi, seems a little stupid to restrict it to one retailer, when that will be the only release.

 

[thedoctor2016]

It screams FUNis influence, it screams they saw Overlord CE doing well and didnt realise why

 

[Bryan Admiraal]

Maby there wil by a standard some day

 

[crashmatt]

I suspect once the CE has shifted we will get a standard edition. If Manga have the licence I can't see them sitting on it for a few years after its gone OOP.

 

[ActionFaust]

To be fair they never said they wouldn't release a SE but it is kinda vague to a point where people would initially think the CE is the only option.

 

[NoSurprises]

Overlord, more like overpriced!

(I'm only like 2 weeks late with this... Also don't actually have much of an opinion on pricing)

 

[thedoctor2016]

No this time they said they aren’t releasing a CE. They literally said No to me. Maybe the stance has changed but due to the backlash from SAC I say it won’t be as quick if ever

Remember, guys: If you see sales practices that you don't like, simply refuse to support them. Whatever any specific vendor tells you, if their sales tactics don't work, they'll soon change them.

Great news. Loved the film and my showing was sold out on the Wednesday.
Nice to see Dragonball doing well here considering Super isn't even on TV over here.
