Wow.

 

[crashmatt]

how very 1960's

Does a fault with the dub track on a dual audio release really count as a problem though?

Does a fault with the dub track on a dual audio release really count as a problem though?

It does if you want to watch the dub. I know when I watch Code Geass, I'll probably be opting for the English audio. Mono audio doesn't really bother me, I only listen through my TV speakers and I find it hard to pick up on things like this anyway, but even still, writing it off just because the JP audio is fine doesn't seem right. It's still a fault, no matter how you look at it, no matter if it affects you or not.

 

[mrclt1994]

Yeah, there may be some argument for that with other releases but the Code Geass dub is really well received and liked by many so, I'd say it's quite a big issue. I will, however, be watching with subs (have previously watched it dubbed) just so see what it's like.

 

[Buzzkillington]

What the ****, how does stuff like this happen without someone noticing? :s Glad I've put off buying it now as I don't mind the Code Geass dub (although I'd probably watch it subbed next re-watch).

 

[Rosencrantz]

There's been no word on any fixes as of yet.

There's a post in the FandomPost forums where someone got a reply stating they used the same audio assets as the previous US release, looks a lot like a 'we ain't gonna fix this' response.

Does this actually mean Kaze did a better job with R2?

 

[Just Passing Through]

Does this actually mean Kaze did a better job with R2?

Other than stripping out the extras, and doing their usual crap job with the subtitles (signs or subs, not both) yeah...

 

[Otaku-san]

Thank goodness it didn't come in monochrome as well

Finally a new Fairy Tail Collection, it's about time, hopefully they pick up the pace on them now.

 

[Jaysgba]

The Australian Cowboy Bebop The Movie blu-ray lacks language options on the menu and you have to switch the audio track using the blu-ray player's functions. It also defaults to Japanese audio without subtitles. If @anime_andrew will be using the same disc master for the UK release, he might want to see about getting the default audio track switched so as not to confuse the more casual anime fans.

Its those sticker sheets, seriously though thats gonna cost £££ to import.

Oh. I wondered why MVM's Busou Shinki release was taking it's sweet time. Interested to see what Anime Limited do with Comet Lucifer, that show did not go down well (there were even jokes in some Anime communities that you'd receive a special badge for completion, it was that poor) :S

Second the comments on Amagi ..

 

[Lutga]

That price on the Amagi set is a joke - hopefully when a UK release comes round that doesn't mean we're restricted to that kind of price too.

It wouldn't surprise me if the UK doesn't get Comet Lucifier at all - it has pretty low rating / popularity stats on MAL, so can't really be an appetising prospect to UK distributors.

Too late to turn back.. Anime Limited announced they picked it up before the show even aired : Anime Limited Licenses Comet Lucifer – All the Anime

Well the good news is that not only is there a standard edition Blu-ray getting released but the Episode 14 OVA will be on there as well.

Collector's Edition contents are all physical stuff.

Ahh, had completely forgot about that.

That said, if they cancelled Rainy Cocoa, then what's to say this is 'safe' or not either?
