[Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

I'm super excited for Rahxephon Standard as I love Rahxephon :) Haven't seen Vinland Saga and I'm sad that they aren't including both English dubs but will consider buying it anyway when the UK release comes :)
 
Nothing for me this time since they're all rereleases or ongoing! A rare example of a well-timed rerelease in the case of Amnesia, though, since the games were picked up for Switch the other day. I never get Sentai LEs because they come out months after the standards and I'm always too impatient to remember they might follow o_O

Makes me wonder if that was the reason why the standard blu-ray rerelease disappeared from AL (it was around for a bit).... Anyway, interesting news.

3rd season of Sound Euphonium in 2024 woo hoo

Goosebumps. Honestly, I nearly started crying at that teaser. Season 3 was announced just before the arson attack and there's been radio silence since. At this point I was almost convinced that it had been cancelled, which would have been understandable under the circumstances.

Another two years is going to be a long wait, but that's understandable too considering the logistics of making such a technically complex show.

Just read about this via @ultimatemegax on twitter, he’d been hinting there might an announcement today and here it is. So not only do we get a full final season but an ova next year too (I think full length?). This is great news, especially for the studio, it’s not like kyoani haven’t produced other material since the arson attack but this feels like a huge flag in the sand from them.

Edit: So it looks like the ova is based on one of the short stories called The Ensemble Contest and will be medium length, with a blu ray release and limited theatrical screenings.
