I did notice Crunchyroll put 3 more question mark boxes up. Could this be for Plastic Memories, Arslan, and Seraph perhaps for us in the UK?!

Just watched Plastic Memories on CR. Superb first episode.

 

[GolGotha]

Oooh! That's great news, I hope this means that other Anime Limited titles will appear on Crunchyroll

Great! I'm bumping Plastic Memories up my queue now it's on Crunchyroll.

We're not opposed to doing something when it makes sense as we've always said - for Arslan & Seraph they're exclusively on Viewster.com for streaming though this time round .

Always keeping in mind what folks say though and how Plastic Memories does as it's on both platforms!

Dunno if this has been posted, but Discotek have announced a string of new releases including a BD release of Samurai Pizza Cats. This wouldn't be surprising until I tell you that this release isn't a native HD release nor an upscale. That's right, Discotek are releasing a standard definition blu-ray.

Given what blowing up footage has given us in the last six months alone (Sailor Moon) I'm perfectly fine with this.

From Anime Limited's news wire:

~ A quick note to say that our release of Tiger & Bunny – The Rising [Collector’s Edition Blu-ray/DVD] is now going to be released on 25th May. This is due to a delay in receiving assets from the licensor. It will now be available on the same day as Kill la Kill Box 3!

~ You may recall a while ago we talked about our intention to release a movie twin pack containing both Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning and Tiger & Bunny: The Rising movies. Unfortunately this no longer an option for us to release. This is because the two films have different production committees and as a result it’s really difficult to be able to put the films together as we intended. We are still exploring other options that may be possible for us when it comes to a potential Standard Edition of each Tiger & Bunny film in the UK, but we have no other details than that at this time. As soon as there is any update to this we’ll be sure to make it known.

Really we should headline everything that has hat sort of story to be JAPANESE BUSINESS RUINS EVERYTHING.

Seriously, name one thing Japanese business has poked it's nose in with anime that hasn't ended in everyone being utterly miserable.

I spotted that Triage X was trending on Twitter. I'm wondering if Twitter trends are based on what you tweet or if it is generally one of the most talked about things on Twitter at the moment?

 

[KingJimmeh]

Twitter does default to Tailored Trends, so based on what you tweet and follow.

Which is why all the top 5 of mine are anime related at present.

Hestia's boob ribbon is apparently the new keyhole turtleneck. It's taken the internet by storm.

In more serious news, 101 Anime are re-releasing Elfen Lied, this time in a BR edition that includes the OVA ep the DVD edition missed out. It'll be in a 'metal case' (presume that means a steel book?) and comes with a 36 page booklet. Current price is £59.99 on Amazon, but imagine that'll drop closer to £45 by release date:

Real steel book aficionados would probably start to look funny at you

There are differences between a steel book and a metal case. Here is a nice explanation regarding the differences between a steel book, metal pak and iron pack.

Yes steel book aficionados are about as crazy as anime fans :twisted: :mrgreen:

Sorry to break the good news, but unfortunately Cocoa Fujiwara has passed away from an illness 9 days ago, she was the creator of Inu X Boku SS.

She did manage to finish Inu X Boku SS last year.

That's a really nice surprise. Not sure If I'll pick it up, my much older self wasn't too keen while re-watching (I used to think it was the most amazing Anime evaaa?!!11) but lets see some art work and things before I 100% decide

Now you get to see arms and legs coming off in high definition - what more could you want? ;-)

Did some research, it looks like 101 Films will be using the exact same version released by ADV from the Section23 Films release. Same disc count, same extra content (hence why the OVA is included) and most likely, the same English audio issue. The only difference being the extra booklet, metal case and price tag. I'm curious so I'll wait.
