Utena Licencing Clarification

posted on 2002-04-24 12:15 EDT by Christopher Macdonald

It seems that CPM confused a few people at Anime Central, announcing that they had licenced "Black Rose Saga, episodes 26-39 of Utena." Fact is the "Black Rose Saga" is episodes 14-24 of Utena. CPM has clarified this error and announced that they have in fact licenced episodes 14-26 of Utena, which include the entire Black Rose Saga. The first DVD release, episodes 14-17, should be out in late 2002.

anime

This mystery melodrama mashes the VRMMO craze up with the plot of Anohana, but is this blend harmonious or just confused? Theron Martin has the answers. ― At first, this light novel-based series seems to be a blend of the premises from anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day and .hack//SIGN.

Yaichi realizes just how much his brother's husband has become part of the family in this touching finale to Gengoroh Tagame's family manga. ― It is something of a shock to realize that the entirety of My Brother's Husband, of which this is the final omnibus volume, takes place over only three weeks.
