UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

My Hero Academia Season 5 also eventually got a complete season release, albeit a botched one though I think the issue has now been fixed. No word on whether Seasons 6 and 7 will get them but I could see it happening some day to keep up consistency, especially since Season 8 won’t need splitting into parts due to its shorter length.
 
I'm happy with my Viz re-releases but I'm glad to finally see these come to the UK and that each steelbook corresponds with each of the main five characters, something I wish Viz's releases did.
 
Holy sh*t, 81 € for each season?! That's more than I paid for Madman Entertainment's Complete Series boxset release of Sailor Moon! 81 € * 5 = 405 €. 405 €!!! 405 € (and that does not include the shipping costs and taxes) for a steelbok release? F*ck that, I will wait for standard edition (if they ever release one, The Witch from the Mercury still has not received one) and live happily with my copy of Madman Entertainment's release of Sailor Moon.

Plus €3 per set due to the stupid new EU customs bs. Amazon are advising businesses to stock more items in their Irish fulfilment centre to avoid this.
 
Curious to see what discs they end up using - I have both the Madman and later Viz Re-issues so I’m good with what I have there.

I'd put my money on the madman discs, given Crunchy now own Madman.

Such weird pricing too. One set has 48 episodes, while another has 38 episodes and is the exact same price.

I'd like to own Sailor Moon, it's not a must have however, and certainly not at that price. They would have to be 50% off to even consider it for me.
 
The cost per episode for those Sailor Moon sets is about the same as AL's catalogue titles like Naruto and Bleach, so that seems reasonable. It's just a shame it took so long for the show to reach the UK, since I already have all the Australian blu-rays.
