posted on by Andrew Osmond
Also, complete edition of Black Clover Season 2
On Monday February 1, Anime Limited will release a standard Blu-ray edition of Shunji Iwai's rotoscoped film The Case of Hana & Alice. GKIDS previously described the film:
When Alice transfers to a new middle school, she hears an urban legend about a student who disappeared the previous year and is suspected to have been killed by his fellow students. Even worse, Alice discovers that she lives next door to his former house, a supposedly haunted home now occupied by a reclusive classmate named Hana. Hana and Alice decide to investigate this "murder case" together, but soon find their lack of detective skills may be an obstacle, in this unusual and charming film from famed writer-director Shunji Iwai, in which a shaggy-dog mystery tale ultimately gives way to a wonderfully nuanced story of young female friendship, and the fantasies and thrills of everyday teenage life.
The Case of Hana & Alice (Hana to Alice Satsujin Jiken) opened in Japan in February 2015 as Shunji Iwai's animated prequel to his 2004 live-action coming-of-age film Hana & Alice. Iwai conceived, wrote, and directed the original 2004 live-action Hana & Alice.
Manga Entertainment will release a complete edition of Season 2 of Black Clover in Blu-ray and DVD, carrying episodes 52 to 102.
