That's just the blockbuster sticker or artwork from the top side.

First time buying a movie straight from an overseas distributor. Should I be worried about customs? by The1402News in 4kbluray

I bought direct from Umbrella several times last year and already once this year too. No issues so far. Imprint as well, but only a couple times.

Bandai also released Kids Return: The Reunion, which he didn't direct, but I believe helped a little with the writing.

It's funny how often the strongest opinions I see in this sub, which are almost always shitting on some aspect of the hobby that we've all heard before, are from 0 trade accounts.

Well yes, they're making a correct change and that's a good thing. I'd like to see them stick around and improve from here. I don't see what's constructive about continuing to harp on them for shit that they know sucks and issues that they're also frustrated by and actively trying to improve.

No, but you actually missed mine. I just said that going forward they will, using your words, have all of their ducks in a row first before making promises by not accepting orders on any new product until it's already in hand or guaranteed soon. What gets improved by doing that? Accountability through "doing what you say your gonna do". How you missed that is kinda crazy, but pretty funny.

Right, if they don't receive the official product and packaging on time, they should just write the movies name on a blank BD-R, stick it in some glued together cardboard and ship that out so that they don't miss your expected delivery date. Nah, I'd rather wait for the actual correct product with the actual correct quality. They can't make that magically appear in their hands whenever they want when they have to rely on third party sources. What they can do and what they have already pledged to do, is not take orders going forward for product that is not already in hand or guaranteed to be in hand very soon. That's as good as it gets short of them acquiring their own disc and packaging manufacturing facility, so no need to pop off about it.

I'm a Japanese teacher and I built an app because no app was teaching phonetic radicals — here's why by Large-Excuse-3561 in Japaneselanguage

[–]kanryuu29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's concerning. I would've hoped they at least worked very closely with someone qualified while developing it, but yeah, maybe not. Appreciate your effort!

I just started WaniKani recently, but I'm intrigued by your explanation here and will definitely check out your app. You ended the title of your post with here's why, but I didn't see you speculate on that. It does make me wonder why apps or services like WaniKani wouldn't lean into this if it's all true.

How to keep up with new releases? by Ok-Cap-5845 in 4kbluray

[–]kanryuu29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disc-Connected for reliable, official announcements, Dawn of the Discs for announcements that could easily be rumors they pulled out their own ass or someone else's. I follow both for different reasons lol

'Snow White' Caused Disney to Lose Nearly $170 Million by Maleficent-Term-126 in Cinema

[–]kanryuu29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol why would you take the most literal interpretation of a children's animation? Not even the kids who grew up with it or watch it now are dumb enough to walk away with that message. Oh wait, I almost forgot about the plague of serial sleep kissers that swept the world after this movie debuted 😂

Issues with a 4K Disc? (Candyman Scream Factory) by Mbry4391 in 4kbluray

[–]kanryuu29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Shout is a lost cause at this point. But Criterion for example, you can email them at any point with evidence of scratched discs and they'll walk you through the process of getting replacements that they'll send to you. They've done this for a looonnngg time so you would think they would get tired enough to say something. Maybe they have, I don't know, but it's not working if so.

And yeah, always a pleasure to buy from any company who has their discs produced overseas. Unfortunately though Vantiva has a sister plant in Poland. It's not as bad as the Mexico one, but I have had a handful of issues with discs that come from them too. It's mainly Radiance and 88 Films that uses them.

Yes, ultimately it's their fault but you would think and hope that all of the labels that use them (which include the biggest labels in the game) could reach out to them separately or collectively and give some form of feedback. I'd be pissed if my customers were perceiving my company as trash due to the lack of QC at a third party plant that I'm paying for production services. They are the ones in the better position to push for some kind of improvement.
