Soundtracks will also be distributed in Europe and Oceania; home video titles will also be released in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland
NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 18th, 2022 — This afternoon at Anime NYC, Anime Limited Co-Founder and Managing Director Andrew Partridge and Chief Marketing Officer Miles Atherton announced the company’s initial slate of releases for North American territories, including a curated selection of new soundtrack releases and boutique home video collector’s editions.
As Europe’s favorite distributor for Japanese animation, Anime Limited has a reputation for high-quality, bespoke releases highly sought after among fans and collectors alike. While the home video market worldwide has fallen by nearly 80% in the last decade, Anime Limited has shown continued growth each year during the same period due to the premium experience delivered through what fans call “the best anime collector’s editions on the market”, “All round quality products – great titles, A/V quality, packaging, and good online presence” and “the Criterion of Anime” (via customer survey responses).
“For years now, fans in North America have been asking us to bring our Collector’s Editions across the Atlantic,” said Andrew Partridge, Anime Limited’s Managing Director. “We’re happy to oblige! We spent our first decade exploring how to best bring the works of our favorite directors and composers to international audiences in the British Isles and France.”
“Now, we’re excited to provide passionate fans in North America with a curated selection of Blu-ray and vinyl records that demonstrates that same degree of thoughtfulness and reverence for the medium of anime we’ve put into the Ultimate Editions like B the Beginning and the Deluxe Edition Soundtracks for Attack on Titan and BEASTARS on vinyl, as well as our recent theatrical release of One Piece FIlm: Red.”
The full North American slate from Anime Limited as announced at Anime NYC is as follows:
- Re:ZERO -starting life in another world- Original Soundtrack — Vinyl Record
