UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

I'd definitely buy Haruhi CE, Dragon Maid CE, wasn't keen on Lucky Star though.

Proper set for Hibike Euphonium would be nice too now I come to think of it.

Alright, time to make it so!

Hibike! Euphonium season 2 would be fantastic to get. I would even double dib on the first season if it meant getting the second season.

Very few, two smallish ones on the front of box for the paper wrap, one large one on the back of the box, pretty painless

My copy was very easy to remove the glue surprisingly

Thanks for the tip-off, folks. My copy of Code Geass: Akito the Exiled was exactly the same.

While I'm here, I'm offering up the Funimation digital code for it. Details here for anyone interested:

Nichijou LE has been delayed a week to the 20th of December

 

[Shadow Cat]

Does anyone know if Nichijou linited will be a hard outer case like MVM/Anime Limited use

Or thin cardboard like Aniplex uses

 

[João Gomes]

Rigid box according to the official description on AOL.

Well that’s a kick in the teeth

redeemed the digital code for code Geass Akito, and it redeemed ok but nothing is in my library

That's poor.

I believe @Geriatric hedgehog had that exact same problem with a Funimation digital code earlier this year.

Just redeemed mine as well as Death Parade. Code Geass: Akito the Exiled code worked but doesn't show up in the library also, while Death Parade does.

My guess is because Funimation doesn't have UK streaming/digital rights or something and if they do they probably forgot to unlock it.

The Funimation app is very hit or miss with what's available. Quite a few US digital codes work for the UK app if the shows available (A sister's all you need, Akashic Records, D-Frag etc) and some that aren't (Hundred)

I'd put money it's just one guy who runs it and they have like 10 other jobs. I've noticed new releases don't unlock straight away and can take a month or longer (Steins;Gate movie)

Spoiler

Thanks, glad to know it’s not just me
I’ve contacted support so will see what they say

something i noticed when i lined all 3 of my Code Geass CE boxes is the Akito box logo has better spine consistency with the Re;surrection box logo than most of their own multi release releases have, only nitpick is it's out by 10mm but better than nothing i guess

 

[Suzu]

I wish Funimation UK would license and release Free seasons 1-3. And Sound! Euphonium season 2.

They already have the licence for Free seasons 2+, will probably never release them though.

I had the same issue with a code for ssss.gridman, which they do stream on their UK app so I wouldn't have thought in my case that would be a rights issue. I just put it down to their generally unreliable apps/software, if I'm putting it mildly...

When I contacted them I didn't have much luck as they wanted copies of receipts or something along those lines, which I didn't have, so I just dropped it.

The fact that their systems couldn't read that a valid code had been input onto a user account tells me that their system architecture isn't even worth the rental fee to stream on.

Nichijou LE has been delayed a week to the 20th of December

Just received a dispatch email for Nichijou LE from MVM.

 

[Scrambled Valkyrie]

Has anyone picked up any the UK Region B Yu Yu Hakusho release? If so what's the audio/video/subtitle quality like? I love the series but have never actually owned it so I'm looking to get the best version, any difference between the Region A and B Funimation releases? They're probably the same discs but I'd hate to find out anything was missing further down the line.

 

[Relaxo]

Assumingly the same discs as the US Steelbook releases, which had some new special features compared to the US Anime Classics release.
