Here's hoping Arslan also makes it to home video!

I'm very finnicky about fantasy stuff, but I remember being riveted by the old OVA series back in the day. I'm very curious to see what the latest incarnation of it is like.

I still haven't got round to the original series, looking forward to it though and this one too. Like you I'm hoping for home video release or Netflix with a dub. I don't have Netflix yet but I'm getting tempted. A couple more series and I might subscribe.
 
The hype for Madhouse just gets even better. They're also handling the animation production for Overlord.

Here's the visual:

For those who don't know; Overlord started off as a light novel series which then received manga adaptations and drama CDs.

Here's the plot synposis:
The story begins with Yggdrasil, a popular online game which is quietly shut down one day; however, the protagonist Momonga decides to not log out. Momonga is then transformed into the image of a skeleton as “the most powerful wizard.” The world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) begining to feel emotion. Having no parents, friends, or place in society, this ordinary young man Momonga then strives to take over the new world the game has become.

The light novel covers looks really cool and I am looking forward to this adaptation.

This, along with the moe slice of life horror zombie show are the ones I'm most excited for.

Only the second series will have a dubbed as its being released by Funi while the first is being released by Discotek and will be sub only.
 
Missed this when it went up - new trailer for this summer's upcoming GitS film:


No details on story as yet, but judging by the visuals, I think we can safely assume it'll follow on from the Arise continuity.

I bet in the contract with Funi when they got the 2nd season they asked for all future projects of Free!, the only reason they didn't get the 1st season was because Crunchyroll got it. And then obviously after the success of the 1st season Funi suddenly realised they had better snap up the next season.

Me too. Right up my street. I was getting Gungrave minus the Zombies vibe. Looks like it's aimed at the English market too, seen as the writing in books etc was in English.
