[Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

[Gemsy-chan]

Kyo Kara Maoh R, 07-Ghost and the Natsume film for me.

 

[Luna]

Oooh, Natsume movie out in US, too?
Germany's Peppermint has announced it a while back at a con, but I really don't like peppermint, so the alternative is quite welcome.

 

[Girls with Guns]

Definitely in for Natsume, especially if it's Aniplex of America... I have the three Natsume Premium Edition sets from NIS America, so this will be a nice addition - albeit not matching the packaging of those sets too very well!

 

[Luna]

It's not even really matching in order. The movie apparently comes after S6. But probably is also standalone as most episodes.
(Either way I'm reading the manga, so would be fine)

 

[thedoctor2016]

It is standalone so I’ve heard but gives some hope CR or AoA will do something for 5,6

= No

 

[ActionFaust]

= No

Actually yes. OVAs are listed in the specifications near the bottom

No - it lists only both Season 2 OVAs. Not the Season 1 OVA that was DVD-only in the US.

There's been weird specs all over the place, for instance Rightstuf mentions Episode 13 for Season 1. I guess we'll have to wait for the release to find out.

 

[Yami]

Does Space Adventure Cobra have a big enough fanbase to justify taking a risk with a 4K UHD release? It's an interesting and exciting development, but...a surprising one. It's not exactly Akira or a Ghibli or a Gundam

Really hoping MVM licenses this one!

 

[thedoctor2016]

They were included with the manga so probably different licenser.

I misread them as 4-komas, those are still not included anyway.
