UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

[TakamakiJoker]

I would love to see Manga recuse a Beez Entertainment show like My Hime and My Otome.
If AL didn't spit up from Funi then we have had the series release here.

Steins Gate movie? This is news to me but I assume it's a retelling

No, its a sequel movie to the first series...

And it's good. If you like Steins Gate it worth seeing.

 

[Vincentdante]

Huh, so it's unrelated to the VN? Curious

 

[thedoctor2016]

Yes it’s unrelated to the VN. It’s better than the zero anime

 

[Vincentdante]

Cool I think I might pick it up when it releases then. Thanks for the information guys

 

[Takei Daloui]

Steins Gate movie? That's an old film. Never thought that would appear, or if I had I thought it would have been timed with Zero's release.

do we know if the Jojo blu-rays sold decently enough for them to consider part 4?

Sadly from what I heard no.
It sold poorly
The series was released here too late.
They may dropped it in favour of Hunter X Hunter

Jojo was a fun show on Crunchyroll but it's honestly not one I want to own and watch again. Same with a lot of Shonen tbh

Some pretty hefty delays...looking at you Bungo Stray Dogs

 

[Demelza]

Bungo being pushed that far away (and all the delays in general) are... worrying to say the least. Fingers crossed they hit the next dates, I really want to watch the movie and S3 on BD. T _ T

 

[thedoctor2016]

Yeah I feel it’s close to being cancelled as that much of delay means it has to be really low priority I’m sure all of it was supposed to be out by now

 

[Afherlan]

Manga's recent penchant for delaying stuff is quite unnerving to say the least. Was going for all the Bungou releases but I pass on them now honestly. This along with their, in my opinion ofc, pretty mediocre announcements really cements them as the one I like the least out of "the three".

 

[Kyril_Panda]

Sooo those DBZ blu rays, do we have any idea if they are in 4:3 or not? Or are these just the regular US blu rays?

 

[thedoctor2016]

They are the anniversary BDs so the 16:9 versions made 4:3

 

[Kyril_Panda]

They are the anniversary BDs so the 16:9 versions made 4:3

Wait so the Anniversary blu rays cropped the already cropped blu rays down further? I didn’t pay attention at the time cus the set was so expensive but my boyfriend would like the show in the original aspect ratio if he could get it.
