The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

Now to wait another few years before they put it out >_>

In all seriousness though, they really need to re-release Index and Railgun on BD - granted it's all 540p until the Movie/Railgun S, but it still looks way better than the DVD.

It was just announced.

Crunchyroll Streaming "Rurouni Kenshin" Anime!
Classic Shonen JUMP action series available both subbed and dubbed on CR
December 18, 2013 2:15am GMT (21 hours ago)

The hits just keep on coming--we're simulcasting One Piece, then Toriko, and now another JUMP favorite joins the library with Rurouni Kenshin, just announced earlier today! Here's the official synopsis:

Welcome to the Meiji Era. Japan is a land experiencing times of troubled peace and renewal after a long and bloody civil war. Swords and killing are outlawed, but all is not as well as it would seem. Lurking in the shadows are many survivors of the revolution awaiting their chance for vengeance. Only the former government assassin, Kenshin Himura can keep the peace. Kenshin gives up the life of "Battousai The Manslayer" and sets off as a lone wanderer. His travels lead to the Kamiya Dojo where he discovers the chance to start life over.

Rurouni Kenshin is available in the following territories: North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and South Africa. The series will be available in both subtitled and dubbed formats (specifically the all-star BangZoom dub that appears on the Media Blasters DVDs!), with all 94 dubbed episodes available right now for Premium Members, and the first four subtitled episodes ready to go for Premium Members. Free members will be able to check the series out in January, and the rest of the subtitled episodes will be added at a later date.

So, yeah... who here's excited? I sure as hell am--I've already explained in great detail how much I love Rurouni Kenshin in the very first Natestalgia! Who here's excited for this longtime favorite being added to CR's library? I even love the dub, with Richard George hamming it up as Kenshin's master, and Steve Blum playing insanely evil as Shishio--sound off in the comments with your favorite Rurouni Kenshin memories!

This is great, I loved the live action film when I saw it in cinemas (limited UK run, home release is February 2014 for Blu-ray Steelbook and DVD standard). I'll watch it subtitled though (or dubbed since 94 episodes of the main series are available now) but I really want to read the manga which is pretty much out of print.

Also, wat:

"Kill la Kill News: Tonight's episode of Kill la Kill is delayed. This is due to the delay in video delivery from Japan. We're currently waiting on subtitles.

The episode will be available to stream by tomorrow morning at 10am. We apologise for the inconvenience."

Laaaaaaame.

From Anime on Delay to Lack-Anim...
 
Now I know Psycho Pass is popular, but this set looks stunning and it's even Blu-ray only (Funi states AB). If the UK price looks decent then I might pick this up, unless Attack on Titan gets it as well, then oh dear.

Hehe Lack-Anim, I like it :lol: I'm worried about Space Dandy next season though :eek: I really should use the Christmas period to try and catch up on Valvrave, Kill la Kill and Samurai Flamenco. If only the Wii U had a Crunchyroll app...

Interesting to see Funimation return to offering more Premium Editions alongside their standard editions, seems like a very good move and they should do well for them.

Coincidently they changed their LE -> PE styles at the same time Dragon Ball Z Blu-rays arrive.

More Japanese songs that have been previously used in anime have been added to Nintendo's Wii Karaoke U service (9 new tracks, mostly Naruto and Bleach).

Here's a list of sings, new and old.

Are any of these songs available in the UK Wii U per chance? If so…. that would be pretty awesome. This would give me another reason to get a Wii U, alongside Monolith Softs new game and Smash Bros.

They all are! The inclusion of Japanese songs was really hyped up in yesterday's Nintendo Direct.
 
(oh jesus christ it took this long to get to this part of the forums, slow connection moment)

HOUSTON, December 19, 2013 — What do you get when you add a mage who’s a zero to the unlikeliest of heroes? Trouble with a capital “T” in Sentai Filmworks’ newest acquisition: Familiar of Zero Season 1. This 13 episode fantasy is directed by Yoshiaki Iwasaki (Best Student Council) and features character designs by Masahiro Fujii (Dream Eater Merry) with scripts and series composition by Takao Yoshioka (Demon King Daimao) and music by Shinkichi Mitsumune (Rozen Maiden).

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière’s name is so long and her spell-casting skills are so poor that everyone at the Tristain Academy of Magic just calls her “Louise the Zero”. Louise’s humiliation only increases during an important second year test, where the other students summon up dragons and other mythological creatures as their familiars, and she inexplicably summons Hiraga Saito, a totally normal teenager from Tokyo. Now she’s stuck with him and Saito’s stuck with the lousy life of being a familiar. Except, maybe there’s more going on than meets the eye, because Saito’s not prepared to accept the social inequities that Louise and other aristocrats consider the status quo, and he may not be quite as normal as everyone thinks. And the reason Louise is so bad at magic might just be that she hasn’t figured out what she’s good at yet. In fact, they might even have the makings of a great team. If they can learn to stand each other first, that is! Will familiarity breed contempt? Will combining two negatives result in a positive? The answer will be spelled out, enchantment by enchantment, in FAMILIAR OF ZERO!

Familiar of Zero Season 1 will be available soon through select digital outlets and on bilingual DVD & BD.

I'm guessing that was meant to be their Christmas podcast reveal?
