Holy crap, what a month it's been. We just got back from Tokyo, where we attended TIFFCOM, the trade show associated with Tokyo International Film Festival. We had DOZENS of meetings... some of them quite exciting!
But NOT AS EXCITING AS WHAT WE HAVE FOR YOU HERE! It is our first Bubblegum Crisis T-shirt! AND IT'S PRISS!!
Featuring gorgeous new, authorized artwork by David "D.SLOOGS" Liu, this is our first licensed Bubblegum Crisis apparel. It will be on the same super soft 60% cotton/40% polyester blend from Next Level Apparel that we used for the AnimEigo Old Timer T-shirt. Sizes S through 4XL are available.
We hope to commission artwork for the other three Knight Sabers, but we can only do that if this sells really well! We hope to get these out before Christmas, but with production lines jammed before the holidays, we can't promise it.
Next up... Have you seen Nasu: Summer in Andalusia, the first anime ever invited to the Cannes Film Festival? NO?? Well, I guess that's not a surprise, since it's never been available in the US except on VOD... Check out this brand new trailer.
It's now up for pre-order. We're still working on bonus features, but for now, we have a long interview with director Kitaro Kosaka (Director of Okko’s Inn, animation director of Spirited Away, The Wind Rises), original trailers, and more.
Finally, we have a big/little update for you about our forthcoming Bubblegum Crisis set, coming out in February. After much discussion, we are including a 50-page booket including crew memories, a cast reunion, and AnimEigo's original liner notes. We've never done this before, and we hope you love it.
If you haven't checked out our new reissue yet, it's got all the Hurricane Live music videos, the Holiday in Bali voice actor special, a bunch of never-before-preserved foreign language dubs, a new interview with Kenichi Sonoda... AND NOW A THICC BOOK. Get in your pre-order today!
We have a lot more in store, but that's more than enough for one update. Thank you so, so, SO much for all of your support this year. We're off to an incredible restart, thanks to fans like you.
