UK Anime Distributor MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread

oh wow, a Champloo steelbook? When was that released? June 2020! How the heck did I miss that one? :(

EDIT: Oh wait, I did get that one, phew! I pre-ordered it in December 2019 in the same order with the Berserk Steelbook, I just didn't search back far enough in my anime spreadsheet the first time. I forgot those two steels went up for pre-order at the same time!

Though the Anime Classics artwork is the best front cover (if they use this for the Amaray that would be cool).

That's the artwork MVM used on their steelbook. 👍

The inside artwork under the trays was cool too, in b&w...

Looks that I predicted correctly that it'd be some sort of limited / collector's edition.

Going by the product description, it just seems to be some art cards bundled into a CE package, which is pretty disappointing if so.

There's no possibility it could be a new, better transfer or something, is there? I suppose it's the best option if you don't already own the series though.

They had a DOTW for the standard edition a few weeks back. Much as I like CEs, I can’t say that an art box and art cards are worth £15 (or more after EB).

That said; I’ve never seen the series, so my expectations are based on the description of Bebop samurai set to bad-guy music.
I don’t know if the disc/encode needs updating, but with minimal tangible benefits, this seems rather low effort.

Is this MVM sale the same as the one on HMV (and Amazon)?

Just about.
I'm sure HMV only has 170 something titles and the prices vary slightly.
Sleepy Princess is £13.99 and Trapped in a Dating Sim £29.99. Can't remember any others.
Fortunately with those 2 Sleepy was worth full price and Trapped was 40% off when I bought it, making it £26.99.
