Akira

Wait, new Akira releases? Only feels like a few years since the last one but big win for AL securing that license I suppose.

 

[bakura]

More announcements for home video in the coming weeks, cinema announcements tomorrow.

 

[bakura]

Also incase it wasn't clear I was trying to say akira in 4k.

 

[bakura]

There open to q and a right now.

 

[bakura]

They've definitely got more niche classic gundam in the pipeline

 

[Scavenger]

I feel that Manga UK is truly dead now with Anime Ltd's acquisition of AKIRA.

 

[bakura]

Oh, they still plan to have director q&a's

A summary from ATA themselves - thank you @bakura for live posting at the panel!

 

[bakura]

And that's the end of the panel.

Great news on Eizouken.

I can't say that I'm going to rush to double dip on Akira, though they could advance on the Manga 4K UHD by including the original Japanese 2.0 mix. Or dig up some new extras, like Otomo's (lost?) directorial debut Give Me a Gun, Give Me Freedom.

Wow, absolutely nothing for me once again. This has been a lackluster year in terms of licenses for me. I don't think AL's Christmas Showcase 2024 will have anything for me either. This year sucks so much.

Blood+ is a big surprise, definitely will be getting that along with Blood: The Last Vampire, Eizouken and InuYasha S3 + S4.

Interested to see how AL's Akira release will be like, see if it's worth double-dipping or not.

Andrew was talking about the master film they got for it. It was one from the time when you had to type the subs into the film, and no one knows where it came from because the BFI said it wasn't there's.

Very happy and Eizoken but Blood+ was a huge and very pleasant surprise! Now to see if I can dent my backlog during the wait until release for that. Thanks for all the updates @bakura!

 

[BrokenPhoenix]

Nothing about a home video release for the Digimon 02 film or the Slam Dunk film is disappointing.

Hopefully there'll be something in the coming weeks.

 

[HellCat]

I was right on Eizouken!

It took like half a decade but...

 

[Jon O Fun]

Wow so guessing they've finally cracked the Sentai egg

Very happy about Blood+, was kind of expected after AL France got it but Akira is the crazy one... its literally already had a 4K AND cinema release in the last few years.
I think the HDR was botched but who is double (or in my case Octruple) dipping?!
Great get but seems kinda pointless.
