Hey guys. While researching something I just stumbled across the website for a distributor who just started out recently called Skyset Entertainment. They're a very small outfit and distribute only "on demand" on BD-R. As in: they only produce a disc on spec for every order they receive rather than having their product out in physical stores.
I can understand if some people think this sounds a little sketchy but bear in mind big studios also do this for titles they're afraid won't sell. Warner Bros archive label for example operate a similar policy and some of their titles are major films that are well remembered (at least by middle-aged people like myself).
Now Skyset are a general animation distributor so they just have one anime title at the moment, their first title seems to have been an indonesian animation.
Their first anime title is "A Time slip of 10,000 years: Prime Rose" a sci-fi action adventure from 1983 helmed by Tezuka pro productions (Yes Osamu Tezuka's studio). I'm familiar with a lot of Tezuka's works however I hadn't heard of this one. It's from a manga he made that ran from 1982-1983 in Weekly Shonen Champion magazine apparently.
Historically this one is a real oddity. It was a 90 minute TV movie that was part of a charity event. Check out the description on Skyset's website (link below).
I'm of the viewpoint that Tezuka's work, while perhaps a bit dated for some people is of important historical significance. Since I got into anime I've been committed to learning as much as possible about the history and evolution of the medium so I hope this little piece of news I've shared has been of interest to some of you. Please comment if you enjoyed this and maybe I'll do more little news posts like this that are focused on retro Anime/Manga based news.
