Unboxing [UK]: Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning - Film: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

For this overview/unboxing, I managed to pick up another All the Anime release (as you probably noticed I'm enjoying their style of products) which came out back in March - Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning on Blu-ray and DVD.

Tiger & Bunny is the superhero show of anime, and I'll admit it hasn't been given a great treatment here in the UK. Kaze released the main series in four parts with inferior discs (various content and specs that Viz Media has used isn't applied in the UK version) and lackluster sales. But the franchise has been given some light thanks to the fantastic Anime Limited who licensed both Tiger & Bunny movies for the UK fans. The first movie 'The Beginning' (which I have now) recaps the early episodes while also bring new material for the rest of the film. I have yet to watch the main series but that isn't technically required for these films.

This version is a Limited Edition format where it includes a nice artbox, a DVD version with the Blu-ray using a digipack and a translated booklet from the Japanese release which isn't used in the US or Australian release.
