Siren Visual has officially announced through a press release that C (for Control) will be their second title simulcasted on Anime News Network Australia, starting on April 22th at 1:45AM AEST.
C (for Control), produced for Fuji TV's Noitamina timeslot, is an original title directed by Kenji Nakamura (Mononoke, Kūchū Buranko) about a scholarship student in an economically-devastated Japan who is offered an executive job position in a mysterious parallel universe, in exchange for helping his benefactors in the future.
"From the moment we saw Mononoke and Welcome to Irabu's Office :) we knew that in Kenji Nakamura we were dealing with a perfectionist and a true visionary in Japanese anime. C is an awesome, Faustian story created by an extraordinarily talented group of people and like everyone else we can't wait to see it." said Eric Cherry, Siren Visual CEO.
Shigehiko Sato at Fuji Creative Corporation said, "For the first time in our history of international licensing we have reached an agreement to legally exhibit brand new series via the internet simulcast in six territories outside of Japan – each with complete subtitles."
Simulcasts of C (for Control) outside Japan were initially delayed by a week, due to production delays on the series caused by the March 11th earthquake disaster. In regards to the delay, Eric Cherry said, "Given the tumultuous events in Japan we respect FCC's decision to delay our start and agree it's a practical decision that will ensure the quality of our video and subtitle materials will be the both legitimate and the best available."
Siren launched their simulcast service on ANN.au last weekend with the first two episodes of Tiger & Bunny.
