Pretty Packaging: TOKYO GHOUL Collector's Edition Goes For The Jugular

Scotland-based distributor Anime Limited has featured prominently in these Pretty Packaging articles, and there is a good reason for that: they often provide pretty packaging. Gambling on a market which other distributors have flat-out denied the existence of, Anime Limited takes series and films, new and old, and royally pimps them for an audience willing to shell out more dough than the general public. As a collector who loves their releases, I've been crossing my fingers for them until my hands hurt, hoping they wouldn't go bankrupt. The fact that they've survived their first few waves of releases makes me happy indeed.

Case in point: this week's release of Tokyo Ghoul, studio Pierrot's sort-of-mutant-cannibal-vampire series, based on Sui Ishida's popular manga about a nice guy who inadvertently gets changed into a HALF-sort-of-mutant-cannibal-vampire.

As usual, before a cheaper regular edition of this series will be released, Anime Limited has issued a severely limited (1,000 pieces only) Collector's Edition. And it's a stunner!
