Newly Dubbed World War Blue On Blu-ray

NEWLY DUBBED WORLD WAR BLUE BOMBARDS BLU-RAY!

(Belleville, New Jersey) Media Blasters and its Anime Works label are proud to announce blu-ray release of the epic anime series, WORLD WAR BLUE. As seen on Crunchy Roll, the 3-episode program will launch its attack on blu-ray and DVD boasting a newly recorded English dub on August 8, 2017. The program is now available in English and HD for all new media and streaming.

WORLD WAR BLUE is a fantasy anime series based on a manga created by Anastasia Shestakova and illustrated by Crimson. Some of the world's favorite fourth generation 16-bit video games are personified in this animated, medieval fantasy re-imagining of the 90's console wars when video game companies furiously fought for market share in the retail world. WORLD WAR BLUE tells the saga of two warring kingdoms, the Segwa Kingdom and Ninteldo Empire battling for dominance over the land of Consume. After years of conflict, things are looking grim for the Segwa Kingdom until Gear, a hyper-skilled young warrior, joins the fight! Will Gear be the Segwa's secret weapon and Last Hope? The cast of colorful, sexy characters are parodies of popular Nintendo and Sega Games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Tetris, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and more!

Brittany Lauda, co-owner of Kocha Sound and director of Ladies versus Butlers! and Juden-Chan, directed the new English dub featuring the voices of Matt Shipman (Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V, Gosick, Nanbaka) and Y. Chang (Popular YouTube Singer/Songwriter, Ladies versus Butlers!) in the leading roles. The cast is full of exciting cameos to fill the shoes of the many video game parodies, including Clifford Chapin (My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan), Mike Pollock (Sonic the Hedgehog), Keith Silverstein (HunterxHunter, Overwatch), Kyle Hebert (Dragon Ball Z) and more. The English dub was written by Chris Niosi aka Kirbopher who is best known for his video game parody work on YouTube and Newgrounds and creator of his own video-game based series TOME.

Media Blasters and its subsidiary labels- Anime Works, Tokyo Shock and Shriek Show- is a leading independent publisher of unique, entertaining anime and live-action content. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements in 2017! Like us on facebook!

“I recommend World War Blue” – destructoid.com

World War Blue is like Hetalia for gamers. Each character is a satiric embodiment of a popular video game character, locked in a desperate battle that represents an important era in video game history.” – Jason DeAngelis, Seven Seas Entertainment
