UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

[Bryan Admiraal]

Still over double so £40 would be ideal really

Yes would be but i have a feeling ther wil not by a LE in the uk

 

[IncendiaryLemon]

As long as they're providing reasonable alternatives to CEs, then I don't think the price matters all that much? That's the issue I had with Overlord II, it's excessive pricing or nothing, at least here if you don't love Franxx enough to splash out that £50 or whatever, you still have options.

They will all the be the same set as it’s a FUNi title and we know how they are now.

Reasonable anime pricing? What is this?!

So, if you've been keeping up with the Overseas anime thread, you'll know that Madman recently pulled their Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card release, and after someone noticed something weird on the Discord, I did some sleuthing and I think the same thing is going to happen in the UK.

Exhibit A:

UP1 has it marked down as Recalled by Publisher on their website

Exhibit B:

The release has been scrubbed from every retailer barring Amazon, including Manga's own website, which has also erased every mention of the licence being attained in the first place.

Exhibit C:

All mention of Cardcaptor Sakura has been erased from Manga's Twitter account, barring this one Tweet. However, that tweet contains a link, and the link no longer mentions the release at all, with the image and headline being altered to only mention Naruto.

Basically, if you want a copy of Part 1, I'd suggest buying one on Amazon now sooner rather than later, because this is going to vanish fast.

 

[thedoctor2016]

I wonder why they would cancel it after release.

Fray said in the Discord that we'll hear something official tomorrow.

 

[thedoctor2016]

That sounds like it’s deffo cancelled so... I guess my part 2 won’t be matching then

That's the US import, this is the UK one

what the ****? Pardon the french, but really?

 

[HWR]

I wonder if they unexpectedly lost the licence alongside Madman? Could it be going to another label?

 

[Badej]

So does the US release actually work on a region B player or PS4?

 

[thedoctor2016]

It says AB on the images according to images

 

[Badej]

So its Funimation/Sony screwing us over then?

 

[Denny Fisher]

If it was a complete collection I would already know. Unfortunately with the uk release I don't see anyone purchasing it.
It does state A/B on the cover.

 

[Luna]

The US release is a 11mm case, is it? So US and UK wouldn't look too nice next to each other at all...
And it just had to happen with a release whose slipcover in the US is almost impossible to get anymore. x.x

It's all turned very Orwellian, by the sound of it. Nineteen Eighty-Four, anyone?
