[Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

[thedoctor2016]

I plan to ask UP1 who I ordered from to arrange it. But this is really good CS Ngl.

 

[ayase]

They will be corrected.

This sounds a little sinister without any other context. Is he going to correct the discs, or Sunrise themselves (possibly with an axe)?

 

[NormanicGrav]

Eleven Arts, the distributor known for using theatrical masters for their Shout! Factory Blu-rays, has acquired SHIROBAKO the Movie.

F in the donut group for those who wanted a consistent dub.

For a film that has had two theatrical releases in one year with different masters, this is worrying.

That being said, Eleven Arts did tackle Millennium Actress so that's something right?

But they also dumped Haikara-san Movie 2 on Amazon Video US and seemingly nowhere else.

Ah yeah that poor film got ducked over. Anime Limited could go after it under their "we like niche stuff" acquisitions list.

They really should do, the first one was received amazingly at SLA.

 

[thedoctor2016]

Yeah I bought the BD due to its SLA response and it was a very good film

Oh yeah, I forgot they did that. Damn then! Haikara-san 1 was incredible!

 

[NormanicGrav]

Sentai have acquired the cult classic series Kaiji with both seasons (aka all 52 episodes) coming as a complete collection set.

 

[Luna]

Haikara is also out in German as "Mademoiselle Hanamura". Both movies. In case somebody just wants the second movie for cheaper than JP release, even without subs.

ita kind of sad that Sentai are picking up the scraps these days. I imagine the situation will not get any better when Sony buy Crunchyroll. Food wars is a good series but season 4 was abysmal.

 

[Denny Fisher]

Looks like hanabee has decided to release some titles

 

[NormanicGrav]

Fate/Stay Night [Heaven's Feel] III. Spring Song is scheduled for Blu-ray in Japan starting 31st March 2021.

 

[thedoctor2016]

Let’s hope Amazon JP allows international shipping by then

Out of curiosity how easy is it to import via Amazon JP? Been eyeing some games and usually default to play-asia

 

[thedoctor2016]

Really good as you pay the VAT upfront and they use DHL who usually take 2/3 days so preorders for anime come on the Friday (ship on the Tuesday)

 

[Buzzkillington]

Amazon Japan still allows international shipping, you just can't pre-order things at the moment for whatever reason (I guess uncertainty?).
