Anime News Network's coverage of Anime NYC 2017 is sponsored by Yen Press.


North American distributor GKIDS announced at its Anime NYC panel on Saturday that Masaaki Yuasa and Studio 4°C's Mind Game anime film will stream on the VRV Select service on December 22, followed by a special theatrical engagement in February. The theatrical run will offer exclusive giveaways to audience members.

GKIDS also announced that a special edition home video release of the film will launch late next spring. British distributor Anime Limited had previously worked with Studio 4°C to hold a Kickstarter campaign for a Blu-ray Disc release.

Based on a manga by Robin Nishi, Mind Game features a variety of experimental visual styles. The story follows Nishi, who wants to become a manga artist and marry his childhood sweetheart, Myon, but Myon is already engaged to someone else. Nishi goes to visit her family and runs into a pair of yakuza, kicking off an adventure that involves meeting God and being trapped in the belly of a whale.
