Nothing anymore. They used to be separate as jerome left manga to found animatsu but now is back as owner of manga. What brand they use for a product depends but the same company do the releases now

Thank you for the info! It certainly doesn't feel like the same company doing the releases lol.

Well the amagi park release had its artcards disappeared off amazon couple of days before release without any notice other than a unboxing picture with them missing

It will be interesting to see if they announce anything in Octobers comic con. They have very few titles left to release after Q4

Dragon Ball Super, hopefully otherwise Toei Europe would have killed any success of DBS over here now Aus are releasing it on home video. Gonna be like Kai all over again.

Did Manga use Aniplex's subs for their Madoka Magica release (the series) or did they make their own?

Few Manga UK announcements...

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie - Bluray + DVD Combi - Oct 9th

Steamboy - Bluray + DVD Combi - Oct 16th

Paprika - Bluray + DVD Combi - Oct 23rd

Pokemon: Indigo League - DVD and a Bluray LE - Oct 30th

Have to say I'm pretty disappointed that Anime Limited didn't get the Cowboy Bebop movie (I'd have quite liked them to get Paprika too if I'm honest...). Oh well.

Indigo League is cool. Though may settle for DVDs if BD transfer is complete trash.

No Dragon Ball Super... What are Toei Europe doing eurgh.

 

[IncendiaryLemon]

I'm happy for fans of Pokemon, but inside I'm dying because it's not the release of Digimon Tamers I was hoping for. Some day!

So...I guess we won't be seeing a Bebop Movie release be AL in a collection?

 

[Peachy]

Hmm..don't get me wrong it's great to see Bebop on Blu-Ray! I would've just rather had AL with the rights (& same goes for Paprika tbh)

How is that a bad thing?

 

[Demelza]

Really pleased to see Manga have picked up Pokémon. Cannot wait to own that!

 

[Yami]

Somewhat surprised Manga, rather than AL, managed to get a licensing deal with Sony. Also surprised they'd bother re-releasing Paprika rather than putting Tokyo Godfathers out, but hopefully they'll get round to it. And Memories.

Find me the part where I said it was a bad thing plz, I'll wait.

 

[SpaceDandy]

You seemed disappointed, really.

 

[Jon O Fun]

To be a fly on the wall when the AL office found out Manga had the bebop movie... I bet it was nsfw

Next AL podcast: directed by Quentin Tarantino!

 

[NormanicGrav]

So all that remains now to be rescued from Sony are Tekkonkinkreet and Tokyo Godfathers by the looks of it. I reckon Manga should try and get Millennium Actress as well given they used to release it.

Questions... Which Cowboy Bebop? The US disc with the lossless stereo, or the AU disc with the lossy surround and extra features?
Paprika? Reprint of the old Sony release with the windowboxed image or a new fullscreen transfer?
Steamboy, the 106 mins Worldwide theatrical cut, or the Japanese 126 minute domestic cut?
