Thank you for saving my wallet so for this year they actually not 1 but they have 2 previous releases that were in the mystery boxes, sheesh these must be really low sellers for them to include them again.
I could not use the code unless basket was over £50...dunno if it is only for uk only that this applies?
Good thing I didn't get MVM's box this year as the only one of those that piqued my curiosity in the slightest was Devil's Line (just from the title) but I then looked at the MAL score and now I am fully convinced that my £40 can be put to better use.
Yeah, it's been fixed on the search page now.
It's primarily the fact that you have the original English dubs and subtitle translations in HD alongside the Netflix dub and its subtitle translation. Basically, four ways to watch the TV series. It's expensive but at least it's still available for those who missed out on the sets from last year.
This has the adv dub and just slightly nicer packaging than the armourys... Basicily its just so people can buy it...
Indeed I can understand why people would want to buy it; I just think £89.99 is a lot for a single set, even if it does have multiple dub options, I could only really justify paying that much for a complete triple figure episode anime set.
It’s the fact that it’s an 11-disc release. The more discs a particular title has… the higher the price point.
So what I was referring to as fairly niche' was the anime industry as a whole, not Evangelion which is one of the more popular shows; I am aware that the industry is getting more popular as time goes on and Netflix has helped a lot in that regard, however, compared to the game and even the film industry, it still has a long way to go which results in some of my other pet peeves with the industry such as region locking, locked subs and some shows not getting released in the UK at all.Evangelion should still be on Netflix. If it is then its about as far away as "Niche" as it gets as a good chunk of people subscribe to Netflix making it easily available
Only reason why the physical product could be considered niche is because the hardcode anime fans asked for it... The ones who buy physical media for the Limited, Collectors, Delux and Ultimate editions
Dont get me wrong, the standard edition is £50 so seems a lot, but considering the cost to license it and the rrp the old ADV DVD's were, £50 isnt bad esp when you can likely find it for £40~45
Or... Just watch it on Netflix
The price is definitely too much; with that said I actually don't mind the box art as it goes well with some of the themes of the show; if I can remember (it's been a while since I saw it last) without spoiling anything, some events lead to certain characters feeling empty inside, just like the box art; hopefully not the box itself though, that would not be good lol.
