Re: Overseas Anime News & Announcements

Yeah, as much as I love the work AL do and the titles they put out, I think I might get the FUNi release of Haruhi, just to have everything, Damn shame Anime Limited aren't able to offer something like this.
 
Re: Overseas Anime News & Announcements

I wonder how Funi's Seraph Collector's set will compare to what we got.

I'll wait and see what AL are doing with the Project Itoh movies before I decide, but if they go with those steel cases I'll import.

Pretty sure I'm gonna be in for Funi's Haruhi Suzumiya Collector's Edition even though it's locked to A. It's a shame as I can see them losing a good few sales to this set, I'm sure they would have loved to do something like this themselves but what can you do.
 
Re: Overseas Anime News & Announcements

For those curious as to why the US release is Region A only, it's because at the time Funimation acquired the rights Manga UK still owns the rights to most of the series.

Lucky Star is UK compatible because the Beez rights expired way before then.
 
Re: Overseas Anime News & Announcements

It will certainly be interesting to see if Manga do react to the resurgence of interest in the series with AL's re-release. Maybe they will release the second season and film on BD, it would certainly be a good opportunity to do so.
 
Re: Overseas Anime News & Announcements

I'll be getting Haruhi CE and High School DxD BorN LE, because they're no doubt going to go OOP in a short time.

Maria and Mikagura I'll be getting at a later point.
 
Re: Overseas Anime News & Announcements

I'll get Maria The Virgin Witch and One Piece for sure. Waiting on more info before actually placing orders for Haruhi and Harmony (I'm definitely buying Harmony, it's just a matter of where). Can I presume the region coding on Maria means it isn't coming to the UK as part of the Funimation deal?

Seems that the Haruhi Ultimate set has a retail price of $150. Sorry AL, but I'll be grabbing this.

Can't fault it really, if we could do an ultimate then we would but alas as we don't have the rights we just have to make do :)! Enjoy it :D.

It means nothing actually - as some licensors require separate region coding :).

Hmm D:

Well I'll hold back a little while before making my orders in the hope that all will be revealed about the Funi titles before I hit the preorder button (I don't tend to cancel things after that point).
