Very nice! Are there English subs with these? I keep thinking about importing these sets as I missed the MVM CE for the first movie here.
A real shame that this hasn't been released here (or elsewhere in the West?). It really should fit right in with anime with international appeal like Ghibli's.Decided to import this while the yen is low, since it looks highly unlikely we'll get a physical release of this anytime soon

Yeah the fate series seems to be English friendly but I think only ubw and zero (2 part sets) and hf. I don’t think the other ones like grand order do so I might get the aoa sets, I’ve just re-read the fate thread and it seems like I should give these a watch on cr first.

Little Witch Academia hasn't been released at all in the West. Netflix holds the rights. The JP version has english subs though.
Fate/Apocrypha (box set), Fate UBW (both the box set and the two part sets), Fate Zero (both the box set and the two part sets), and the Heaven's Feel movies have English subs. The full box set of Fate Zero and UBW include the English dub, while the two part LE sets are sub only.

Awesome, thanks for the info guys!
And @Mattrivers95, if you haven't already then I would definitely say to watch the rest of the Fate/Stay Night series and Fate Zero before HF. The first movie in the latter skips a lot of lore at the start which is shared with the other stay night ones, picking up where I assume the routes branch off in the game. It also does have a feel of culmination of the whole story, especially with what I feel are the brilliant opening credits of the third movie.

That’s great thanks for clarifying, I can get the ubw box set then as the 2 part ones are getting pricey.

I just saw the UBW 2 part set with the Animate outer box on Mandarake for 17,000 yen (£104). That's comparable to the price of the box set so that might be the better option, since the outer box is actually quite nice, especially for a collector.

Thanks, I’ve just finished a rewatch of ubw (I watched this first about a year ago) after finally seeing zero last month, then I began a rewatch of deen stay night a few days ago, that felt like a come down lol but I’m quite fond of it.

Oh thanks for the tip, I saw that set last month for well over 30000 yen.

Stuff that arrived over the last couple of weeks.
Sleep's Dopesmoker in 4xLP green vinyl, Third Man Records' 20th anniversary edition. Next up is Final Light (Perturbator + Cult of Luna's Johannes Persson) in half black/half clear vinyl. Finally Converge's Blood Moon I in weird mixed colors.
Nothing remarkable about Conan (not a bad thing, solid edition).
Belle, which at first glance has the typical Hosoda hallmarks of furry online personas and children, putting me in cynical mode thinking maybe this is where I get off the Hosoda train - then I flip through the booklet and I read "I want the internet to mean freedom for children" (kinda naive, but adorable ideal) and I realize this man will always have my interest thanks to the parental themes, which I heavily identify with
the edition is incredible too, amazing job as always. And GoT complete which was heavily discounted on Amazon. The 4k editions are too rich for my blood and the fact this one is comprised of mediabooks sealed the deal.
Until next episode

Gave up on waiting for it with the dub or a release of S2

Magical Girl
I'm probably going to cave on that soon. It's been years and nothing, which is odd since it's not like this is a a niche series. It's popular, so what on earth are they doing?

Mushi-shi
Exactly my thoughts with Season 3 seemingly being a smash why no newer season post 1 (especially when shows released in 2021 are getting released by AoA) though I am expecting a complete collection with all the seasons and dubs but that’s probably years away.
Takei Daloui
Magical Girl
Of all things, that would be the last thing I'd expect before a season 2, let alone season 3. I still can't believe there isn't even some standard edition at the very least, even of season 1, but this is apparently all there is. Why? Do they think it won't sell? If they are basing that of this CE's selling rate, surely they must know that an expensive CE won't sell to the common fan.

Is it still sort of embargo or block from the studio or publisher? Which reminds me:
Why won't they release physical editions seeing as their subscriptions are unlikely to be affected by physical releases only favoured but collectors? Reminded me of why we probably don't also have Devilman Crybaby in the West...
CommanderZx2
Magical Girl
Didn't Netflix originate as a DVD rental service? It would bizarre for them to block a physical release of a piece of media that they licensed for streaming.

I think they still see value in forcing you to subscribe if you want to watch their shows. Physical media is quite niche right now, as much as it sucks as a collector, and we're even seeing Crunchyroll opt not to release some shows on home video. Just look at how many shows are missing physical releases, both as a limited edition and in their "essentials" line.
That's the reason I imported Devilman Crybaby from Japan myself. I see it highly unlikely we'll see it in the West,

So this FINALLY showed up from otaku.co.uk that I preordered and got lost in the post... for 2 months... 
And from the 101films sale (it's a bit crazy but very good)
Good price but don't think I'll deal with them again.
They seem to have redone their website so you can actually have an account now and you know 'track your order' but on the downside all their prices have doubled or trippled
I got both Food Wars s4 for £35 and s5 for £25 and theyre both now nearly £70 each

Did you replace the cases yourself? I thought both of these came in standard blue cases, not the premium white cases.
Jon O Fun
Za Warudo
Yeah, they came in standard blue ones but the clear ones look much better in my opinion, and are a lot less flimsy than the std ones.
Shockingly that's one thing Funimation did right was the inside artwork for their essentials releases was/is very good and the clear cases show it off a lot more.
