[Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

[zrdb]

Really nothing to do with new releases but I hate steelbooks, by their very nature they are much more prone to damage. Dents, scratches-you name it.

 

[Scavenger]

Is there anyone else that ordered this (or something else from Tanuko)? I love how the set looks and want to support a new company, but I ordered at the 18th of July and not heard anything. Getting a bit worried..

The last e-mail update was on June 21. They were supposed to receive the reprinted storyboard books somewhere in July (the original printing had an issue with the covers).

Thanks for the info! I hope they will ship soon, or at least keep the buyers up to date bit better.

Taking a quick glance I initially missed The Apothecary Diaries Complete Season 2 being there among all the steelbooks which are primarily just rereleases.

I'm sure that will get a UK release which I will definitely buy. It's nice it's in one set instead of two parts too and I'm very glad it has a non-steelbook version.

 

[Girls with Guns]

Crap, now I'll have to buy all those steelbooks for my Anime steelbook collection! Someone would have to talk me into getting the Dragon Maid steelbooks, though, as I've never watched that series and don't really plan to.

I think it's a really fun show, but from what I know of your tastes I do not think it is something you would like.

I cannot remember why I imported it at £45 years ago. What attracted me to it? Who knows.

Ended up really enjoying it. Bit of comedy with a sweet relationship between the characters and some busty fanservice from Lucoa.

Typical of works by Kyoto Animation, the show has some very well done animation sequences:

I love Lucoa:

 

[Otomo]

Brilliant videos, had forgotten the dodgeball. My memory had been crushed by the school sports day episode.

There's a lot more stuff there to be seen there with a little searching.

Same, though I don't know why we haven't gotten season one complete yet. The US discs are AB. BBFC approvals I guess.

It's already approved by the BBFC:

It is already available in the UK in two parts so it's not a matter of what the US discs are like as it would just reuse these discs:

The Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Part 1 - Blu-ray

Kidnapped and made a servant in the royal palace, Maomao’s apothecary skills catch the eye of a handsome official… who tasks her with tasting food for poison. But as mysterious death and illness befall the kingdom, she’ll use her talents to find the truth.

The Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Part 2 - Blu-ray

Now working in Jinshi’s home, Maomao investigates a warehouse explosion, an apparent poisoning, and the brothel’s secrets as these seemingly separate mysteries point toward a deadly plot. Along the way, she’ll begin to come to terms with her past, too.

Maybe Crunchyroll will release it in one set in the UK; maybe not. While I personally like the single sets per season, I also already have the above so would be unlikely to buy it again just to have it in one piece.

At this point with those US announcements, probably the steelbooks are more likely to come to the UK.
