Crunchyroll have made their first major announcement at their Otakon panel in the form of announcing they’ll be streaming the Cardcaptor Sakura anime series. The series will only be available to stream in the US and Canada.
The site will be streaming both the subbed and dubbed versions of the show and all seventy episodes of the series will go up on Crunchyroll on the 12th of August. The series was recently rereleased by NIS America on Blu-ray and DVD.
MVM Entertainment have announced through their Twitter account that the DVD release for Sunkarea has been delayed once again. The release is now slated for the 5th of January 2015, hopefully it actually comes out on time then.
Sankarea: Undying Love is a romantic comedy based on a long running manga series which is still on-going, although it is due to finish in November. The manga has been licensed by Kodansha Comics USA outside of Japan.
Last week we happily reported that Viewster had added a number of Aniplex shows to their streaming line-up. Today we have more good news as the service has made yet more announcement about their anime line-up!
The service have now added Fate/Zero, Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari to their site. All three shows can currently be bought in the UK thanks to MVM Entertainment. Fate/Zero can also be streamed on Crunchyroll while Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari can be streamed via Daisuki in the UK.
Viewster also confirmed that they’ll be adding Oreshura to their catalogue next week, so keep an eye out for that! You can find all of the series mentioned above and many more right here.
Late last night a rumour went around that Studio Ghibli were closing their production department. Since then a source for the news has been found. Although it doesn’t strictly say the studio are stepping away from making films, it doesn’t really give us too much hope that they won’t either.
MVM Entertainment have today announced a number of release dates to see us through to the end of the year with a number of great anime titles. The release dates and anime being released are as follows with their release formats included where confirmed:
The release formats for Blast of Tempest have yet to be confirmed at the time of writing. It’s certainly a nice line-up of titles to see us through to the new year!
Kodansha USA has announced at their Comic-Con panel yesterday that they’ve licensed two new manga series. The titles in question are Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches and Let’s Dance a Wiltz.
Anime Limited have already made a bit of a buzz this morning after putting a couple of top series on Netflix, but the news doesn’t end there. Anime Limited have just revealed how Q4 looks for them.
September looks set to be somewhat quiet, but they’re finally releasing Gurren Lagann in a number of different sets for the anime fans who have been keeping an eye out for that. In October Anime Limited have quite a packed month as they’ll be releasing HAL, Blood Lad, and Patema Inverted.
Moving on to the last couple of months of the year, Anime Limited will be releasing Wings of Honneamise and Space Dandy in November. In December they will be a releasing a currently unknown movie, which will also be treated to theatrical screens during October and November. There is a chance we’ll be seeing the first part of Kill la Kill in December as well.
More information about these releases can be found on the All The Anime website right here.
Interesting news appeared this morning as Anime Limited revealed that Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann are now available to watch on Netflix UK!
All 25 episodes of Kill la Kill have gone up on the service and can be watched subbed. Meanwhile all 27 episodes of Gurren Lagann have gone up on the service and can be watched subbed or dubbed. Both are top class series’ so it’s really nice to see them being added to Netflix. You can read my review of Kill la Kill right here
Overall the range of anime on offer to the UK via Netflix is fairly slim compared to the US offerings, but with Anime Limited seemingly interested in bringing more anime to the service here we should have some fairly interesting times ahead!
