Earlier today, Manga Entertainment UK hosted their usual panel at Manchester's MCM Comic Con event, where they unveiled a selection of titles that will make up their releases in the second half of this year. Perhaps the biggest new announcement was of the theatrical feature <strong>Dragonball Z: Battle of the Gods</strong> or maybe even their timely announcement of <strong>Bayonetta: Bloody Fate</strong>, which is due out just after the release of the Wii U exclusive <em>Bayonetta 2</em> video game. Their full list of announcements are as follows:
<ul>
<li>The aforementioned <strong>Bayonetta: Bloody Fate</strong> will be released on both the standard definition DVD and high definition blu-ray on 24th November.</li>
<li><strong>Dragonball Z: Battle of the Gods</strong> will be released on DVD and blu-ray on 10th December and will be accompanied by a limited theatrical run and will appear at this year's Scotland Loves Anime Festival. Curiously, the film was licensed from Fox as opposed to Toei Animation (a side-effect of the ill-fated <em>Dragonball Evolution</em> perhaps?).</li>
<li><strong>Ghost in the Shell Arise: Border 1</strong> and <strong>Border 2</strong> will be accompanying Bayonetta on the same formats and the same release date as a two disc release.</li>
<li><strong>Space Pirate Captain Harlock</strong>, the 3D CG animated movie from Toei Animation will be released on DVD and blu-ray early next year.</li>
<li>The live-action web series <strong>Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist</strong> will be receiving a release on DVD, blu-ray and a limited edition steelbook on 27th October. Unlike the original web series (which will be pulled from YouTube at the end of the month), this release will be formatted as a feature-length compilation as opposed to broken up into the episodes of the original web series.</li>
</ul>
Are you looking forward to any of these upcoming releases?
