Yeah I was the only person for a while who bought the UK zone

Yuri!!! On ICE Collection (tbc) BD/DVD
Yuri on ice only 7 months late

I suppose it's good news for Yuri on Ice fans though I suspect many have already imported.

 

[thedoctor2016]

Yeah it may not sell, due to no LE and most have imported. So if even if it was day in day in feb I would have imported

We're never going to get a Funimation UK title worth buying, are we?

 

[thedoctor2016]

I dont think they can please us especially moving to combo packs etc. I kinda want them to succeed but cant see them actually succeeding

 

[Sloth_Zeroth]

So Funimation finally announced Concrete Revolutio's home release date, is this something we'll through the Sony/Funimation deal. Do we even now titles will be decided?

 

[thedoctor2016]

I doubt we will get it. As we are only getting “big” titles like The shonens. I can’t remembee anyone watching concrete

Can anyone confirm whether In Another World With My Smartphone will get a release? It seems to have been listed for release in Australia, and from what I can tell, Sony has been mirroring its releases in both of these regions with Black Clover and My Hero Academia.

On JB Hi-Fi's Stack Magazine website for release on 17 October 2018 with Yuri on Ice. It doesn't actually say the distributor, but considering the UK is receiving YoI from Sony, I'm just assuming that is also a Sony release.

 

[thedoctor2016]

Interesting. We know madman ain’t and the fact it’s a combo pack suggests it coming....

 

[crashmatt]

Urh why do we get landed with utter dross like Smartphone and Black Clover when decent titles are missing. If the UK does get Smartphone it will sell about 5 copies

 

[thedoctor2016]

I assume these ain’t random picks they are following the streaming figs

 

[Just Passing Through]

tolloeibg the streaming figs

Covfefe?

Don't make me buy 6 copies to prove you wrong.

That's like taking money and flushing it down the toilet. Something tells me you will be snapping up more 'quality' titles like Death March and Ragnarock

 

[thedoctor2016]

I mean FUNi gave it a LE must mean someone watched it...

 

[HWR]

Yeah the way Funi and Crunchyroll decide what shows get LEs and what don't must weigh on how many viewers they got, and possibly the materials they can get for the booklet etc.

Death March definitely, but Ragnarok isn't worth it to me.
