Calling All Flamengers! (...Again!)

As part of its 12 Days of Christmas sale, the UK-based anime distributor Anime Limited is offering a MASSIVE discount on Collector's Editions Blu-Rays, including their Samurai Flamenco one, which is now LESS THAN £10, specifically £8.33 (~$10.50 USD). This is much less than the £25 they discounted the set to for its 10th anniversary back in October!

The entire 22-episode series is contained across 4 discs. The only noted on-disc extras are the creditless OPs and EDs. All of this is packaged in a decorative rigid slipcase.

Anime Limited does ship outside the UK, but you will need a region-free Blu-Ray player to play discs if your region is not of the B code (comprising Europe, the Middle East, and Africa).

While it doesn't specifically say when this sale ends, since it's part of the 12 Days of Christmas sale, we can assume it will last until December 12, UK time, so don't delay! This is the only official English physical release of the anime.

So, apparently Disney is not going to release any more physical home media to Australia.

Complain. Complain to your heart's content.

it's nice to see home media becoming more relevant again, because i've seen plenty of shows suddenly get official, legal releases in their entirety for the first time in history. i really hope we're on the precipice of a cultural revolution in our media landscape, especially with all the ongoing strikes.

I bought The Chipmunk Adventure on DVD. Now I can compare it to the Blu-Ray Rip circulating the internet

As much as I prefer the DVD Colors (mainly the greens and blues) The Blu-Ray's Colors are more accurate to the Animation cels.

Note: The 2014 Diamond Edition DVD uses the same widescreen video as the Blu-Ray. But in 480p instead of 720p. I sourced my video from the 2006 DVD. The 2008 Reprint is the same Disc but has different art

Finding Nemo vhs tape

We're cleaning out the closet today and I found this in a bin. We don't have a vcr so i can't test to see if the tape is still any good. Still it's nice to hold a video tape in my hands again.

Babylon 5 on Blu-ray got here today!

I don't have time to watch any of it today, but I now own -- officially and physically and permanently -- the Remastered version of the entire series!

Of course, it is a lazy, bare-bones, shoddy Blu-ray release, but I knew what I was buying.

#I was very surprised to see all of the low ratings online with people complaining about the lack of special features and the 4:3 display. #The studio write-off mentality and behind-the-scenes problems are well documented and widely published. What did you think you were buying #Babylon 5 #B5 #Blu-ray #Home media #Physical media

Yeah your boyfriend became a deleted scene. They had to cut him for time. I know, he was almost finished. You’ll see him in the bonus features of the home release. Sorry.

A few months ago, my copy of the "Limited Edition" Samurai Flamenco Complete Series Collection shipped from the UK, a release by Anime Limited.

As they are a UK-based anime distributor, their Blu-Ray discs are region locked to region code "B," which encompasses Europe. As such, I have a Blu-Ray player that is modified to be region-free, playing discs from anywhere in the world. I recommend buying one from this site, as you can get the best deals here.

Going over the product, despite the fact that it's labeled "Limited Edition," the release is pretty bare bones. It was also initially released back in October of 2021, and still remains available to purchase two years later.

Like most of Anime Limited's Collector's Editions, the release comes in a rigid slipcase illustrated with official artwork. The 22-episode anime is contained across 4 discs, evenly divided into two disc cases. Each case has a reversible slipcover illustrated with characters on both sides.

So let's talk about the contents of the discs. Although it doesn't say on the official website, there are three ways to watch the anime on this release: the French dub, the original Japanese with French subs, and the original Japanese with English subs (subtitles are the same as streaming, no subbed OPs/EDs/insert songs). These are a nice variety of options, but it would have been nice for a few more accessibility options for those who want it, such as the French dub having (dub-accurate) subtitles, and subtitles for those who are deaf or blind, as included with Anime Limited's release of "Looking for Magical Doremi" that I purchased earlier last year. There are a few extras on the discs, but those are just noncredit/blank versions of both opening and both ending themes.

Regarding the visuals, it should be noted that, when Samurai Flamenco aired on TV, it looked quite rough animation-wise. For the home media release in Japan, they made significant touchups here and there in each episode. From what I recall, the version that used to stream on Crunchyroll (before they removed it) was the original broadcast, while the one that streams/ed(?) on Funimation has the corrections. As there were quite a lot of corrections, I will link this post that does a in-depth look episode-by-episode of what changed between the two versions. Going back to Anime Limited's release, based on what I have seen and compared, I can safely say that this release uses the corrected footage, which I think most people can say is quite the plus.

I also want to clarify that this release does not contain any of the extras included with the Japanese home media release, such as the character drama CDs, soundtrack CDs, etc. All you're getting is a slipcase, the discs themselves, and creditless OPs and EDs. That's it.

To wrap it all up, despite the fact that this is a bare bones release, it is still a serviceable way to watch Samurai Flamenco. The anime has been taken off streaming services in the past few years, Netflix and Crunchyroll specifically, and as Manglobe went bankrupt years ago, the anime's future on streaming is bleak and uncertain. Anime Limited managed to secure a home release deal with Manglobe before they went under, so I've heard. Therefore, I definitely recommend owning a physical way to watch this underrated gem. Even so, Anime Limited has noted on their website that, as a limited edition release, they only have a limited number of stock, and once that runs out, they are not sure if they'll restock. So while it's been around for two years now, who can say for sure if it'll be around for any longer. On their website, it currently sells for £35 (approx $44.50 USD), but last year, Anime Limited held two sales that included this release, where in one sale, it went for as low as £8.33 (approx $10.50 USD). So, I also recommend you wait until their end-of-year holiday sale, I think it'll still be around then.

Anime Limited does ship internationally, but I want to warn you that there is a hefty international shipping charge attached. As I live in the US, it costs £25 (approx $32 USD), but I imagine that to more distant countries, it will cost a lot more.

I know DVD’s aren’t as prevalent as they used to be but when I saw the DVD for the Tom & Jerry movie I was shocked. It’s legit just the poster with an ugly grey strip for the options. 

Someone on Twitter showed me this is really the standard look for Warner bros DVD’s (And this was before the Discovery merger). No other special features like trailer (Free promotion their skimping out on) or scene selection which is crazy.

That language menu is pathetic. I’m not expecting a masterpiece for every DVD  but some level of creativity would have been appreciated.  (And it’s recent DVD’s in general not just WB movies)
