UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2022 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

[zappi]

OP thread is estimates only, was miles off for Eva as it had £35 and it wound up being £90

I'll get the Bookworm one but I think it's the only thing I wanted in the sales so far. can use the 10% off code to get for £50.

ah ok, missed that they were estimates

 

[João Gomes]

Speaking of prices, Nadia is gonna be Eva UE-tier in its price, being UE and 4k - I'm afraid already.

 

[Lordhippos]

Is it a blind buy or have you watched it already? If so, care to pitch me real quick?

I've seen it

It's about a girl who loves books, she gets isekaid into another world where books don't really exist, or at least only nobles can afford them. Imagine it's Medieval tech level basically.

Her mission: make books.

It's alright, the story/concept is interesting but the art is kind of basic compared to some of the more amazing shows out there that exist. Gets pretty well reviewed online, but your mileage may vary depending on your tastes.

Bookworm gets isekai'd to a world without books. Not only that, but posses the body of a weak girl, so has to rely on her smarts and the help of other people to bring books in to this new world she's found herself in.

 

[João Gomes]

Thanks both!

The main idea does sound like it could be fun - I can stand bland art (seems like a chronic disease for most isekais, anyway). I'll read a bit more about it, maybe watch some clips.

 

[RonJB]

My ATA mystery box delivery has been deferred to tomorrow. Oh well, all the surprises have been revealed now and I ain't got time to watch them anyway.

Now I'm tempted by Ascendence of a Bookworm.

 

[HWR]

Bookworm is on my list of titles to get but the price makes me wonder what the UE titles are going to cost.

 

[ussjtrunks]

Gotta member with bookworm it’s 2 seasons not just 1 £27.50 per season isn’t bad

 

[Lordhippos]

Bookworm is on my list of titles to get but the price seems a bit high in my opinion - makes me wonder what the UE titles are going to cost.

Just a case of everything getting more expensive I feel like, there isn't really much that is the same price it was this time last year.

Payrise from work for the year was 2%, which means backwards earnings in real terms, so I'm just having to do the same kind of thing everyone is I think, cutting back on "stuff".

This month is Christmas and I've had to get car MOT + Service + Tax + Cam Belt change so that hasn't helped any tbh! Discretionary spending on anime has to take a back seat really (pun intended) and I'll have to see about selling some holiday days at work to earn a bit extra to make up for everything costing more.

 

[Otomo]

Decided on Testament of a Sister New Devil 1+2 Limited Edition.
Doesn't have the books but it's 14.99 compared to 25+40.
Now I have to look out my emergency unwrapped copy of Burst to sell and off set a bit of the cost.

Remembered today that I wanted to try
Paranoia Agent. Another one not on sale.
The other title I want is in one of the boxes but I'm going to wait for another sale.

 

[Jaysgba]

All I need from the mystery boxes is My-Hime and Boogiepop, so I’ll be hoping someone is willing to part with duplicates at an agreeable price.

 

[usnapoleon]

DONE!



I thought about the Blue Mystery box, but I already had one of them and wasn't compelled to dive in on the others. It was a huge temptation since they are all CEs but I decided to behave this time around haha.

 

[usnapoleon]

Now I get to sit back and wait for RightStuf to keep showing off their deals, maybe do a big order there if the right ones go on sale

 

[NormanicGrav]

ah ok, missed that they were estimates

Yep there were estimates before people point forks at me, and Anime Limited love to surprise people on their pricing decisions.

In Bookworm's case, it was £10 larger than usual due to the book contents, so I wasn't far off.

I did tweak Nadia's estimate to be much larger after reviewing Future Boy Conan's pricing structure, and since it'll probably be about 8-10 discs overall, on top of being a self-author on the UHD, it's going to be pretty expensive (will it sell out? considering the reception of the transfer probably not if word spread far enough).

Also Mystery Box titles have been added to the first page, I believe I have the group names right.

Gotta member with bookworm it’s 2 seasons not just 1 £27.50 per season isn’t bad

I think this is a fair take but at the same time it's only 3 discs in 1 amaray whereas for example Black Lagoon was 4 discs in a digipack and included s1 & s2 + the OVA series and that's currently £45 not on EB

 

[animefan2017]

wonder how long before nadia appears as dont want to miss out on the mystery box or whether I should just order the box by itself for now

 

[ussjtrunks]

I think this is a fair take but at the same time it's only 3 discs in 1 amaray whereas for example Black Lagoon was 4 discs in a digipack and included s1 & s2 + the OVA series and that's currently £45 not on EB

Bookworm most likely a more expensive license due to being newer and I think the American rrp was $90 too and that was just an amaray

Yup. RRP is $90 USD,

 

[ussjtrunks]

Yup. RRP is $90 USD,

Are they literally the same disks, is the sentai release region locked?

 

[NormanicGrav]

Are they literally the same disks, is the sentai release region locked?

1. Yes AL is using same discs.
2. Sentai's releases are geolocked so they'll work on EU PS5, EU XSX etc.
3. Sentai's SRP is their regular SRP for two-cour titles.
4. AL's SRP is £10 higher due to the book.
