posted on by Andrew Osmond
Anime Limited has announced that it has acquired the following titles.
- Death Parade will have an Ultimate Edition later in 2016, including the original Death Billiards anime (right).
- The 2015 version of Lupin the Third has been acquired.
- Eiichi Yamamoto's 1973 experimental adult anime film Belladonna of Sadness (Kanashimi no Belladonna) will be released as a 4K remastered Blu-ray.
- The Tatami Galaxy (previously released as a UK DVD by Beez).
- Anime Limited will also release a Blu-ray edition of Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors (left), a World War II propaganda film which was the first Japanese animated feature ever made. This will be an HD remaster and will include a booklet written by Jonathan Clements. (The film will be also be screened at this year's Scotland Loves Anime.)
- At MCM London Comic Con, an Anime Limited panel mentioned that the possibility of a new release of Season 1 of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya will depend on Funimation's plans for the same title in America. If Funimation authors both seasons of the series in a single set, then Anime Limited would need to author its own discs, as it only has the rights to the first season of the series.
