Gurren Lagann Ultimate Edition Issues
posted on by Andrew Osmond
Anime Limited has posted some comments about its limited 'Ultimate Edition of Gurren Lagann, which the company released on Monday this week.
- Re delays to Amazon and Zavvi deliveries, Anime Limited says that it is unsure why some deliveries were delayed, but that all pre-orders will definitely be shipped.
- Anime Limited also comments on package defects on some copies. 'Basically what we have established so far (to best of our and Sony's knowledge) is that the printers did not leave the trays on the Gurren Ultimate digipack to dry long enough when glued – the result being most commonly the third tray is loose... We'll be issuing replacement digi-packs as soon as possible (I'd expect by end of November latest) that are fixed and to ship them out to anyone impacted at no cost to yourselves. We'll be setting up a contact information form in due course over the next week asking for your details to get these out to you if you were impacted by it (which by our estimate is between 40%-50% of units). Take a photo for now of any impact and we'll sort that."
- Anime Limited also comments on video issues in episodes 5, 7 and 10 for Gurren Lagann. "These issues were flagged in Quality Control – at these points the images froze and the audio continued. We tracked down the reason for this – it was down to the masters we received having the audio but no video at these points... At these points we made a call – we had to switch in the DVD footage as the best solution since no re-supply was possible in this case." The relevant points in the episodes are shown on Anime Limited's site.
Anime Limited adds, "Some isolated cases of audio sounding flat on the Japanese 2.0 have also been reported, we're investigating now but it appears to be a Prologic II issue."
