June 2023 Pre-Orders – All the Anime
Hi everybody! We hope you had a great bank weekend and that those who took part in MCM London Comic Con are recovering well after a while – great to see so many of you coming to our booth and attend our workshop! If you didn’t manage to make it to MCM, we hope you at least caught wind of our slate of exciting announcements for both theatrical and home video releases – if you haven’t caught up yet, don’t worry, we forgive you, and you can find all of the details in this blog post.
Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko
One of our favourite cinema experience of 2022 (and there were plenty!) was bringing the charming tale of parenthood and growing up that is Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko to the UK for many of you to watch and enjoy, and now we’re equally thrilled to be able to reveal our plans to own in your own home on Blu-ray! This collector’s edition includes the movie on Blu-ray disc, a set of 5 art cards featuring scenes from the movie, and a 12-page artwork booklet with an accompanying article analyzing the film. All of this is carefully packed in an outstanding hard case, while the drive is further stowed in an Amaray box.
INU-OH
Sticking with the theatrical side of things, let’s move on to a film that is very close to our (and from all accounts your) hearts – Masaaki Yuasa’s incredible historical rock opera INU-OH! We know you’ve been dying to get your hands on a Collector’s Edition of this for a while now, and we can assure you that you won’t be disappointed. Where to start with this? Well, what about the movie on DVD and Blu-ray, placed in an Amaray box for disc storage. Then we move on to the A3 copy of our theatrical poster, which many of you will surely recognize.
Then there’s a reproducible shikishi-style art card, featuring amazing artwork from the film, plus a 40-page art book for you to soak in the stylized beauty of the film. Rounding things off is a series of three art cards, supplemented exclusively for customers who purchase from our AllTheAnime.com store by a series of five stunning additional art cards which ape classic gig poster stylings around the film an amazing way to round off an amazing release of a spectacular film!
GUNBUSTER
Yes, we only officially announced this title at MCM London Comic Con, but we didn’t want to keep you waiting (and you certainly made it clear that you didn’t want to wait), so let’s get started now. and open Early Bird pre-orders for this month’s top OVA series from GAINAX and Hideaki Anno! Of course, this stunning masterpiece is included in the six-episode full OVA form, complete with Japanese and English audio subtitles, as well as a brand new English dub. All of this is contained on a Blu-ray disc, which sits comfortably in the Amaray carrying case. In addition, you’ll find a double-sided A3 poster featuring two highlights from the wonderfully rich artwork you’ll find in the 48-page booklet also included.
Eternal 831
Kenji Kamiyama is a name that should require no introduction to most of you – as the director responsible for the likes of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Eden of the East and Napping Princess, his body of work speaks for itself. This month, we’re offering you the chance to explore another of his works, with our home video release of Eternal 831, a sci-fi feature film created to celebrate 30 years of Japan’s WOWOW on-demand television channel. Our Collector’s Edition features the film on Blu-ray, a series of four character art cards, and a 16-page booklet with artwork, designs and information about the film. If you’re a fan of Kenji Kamiyama – or simply curious about the movie – then don’t miss this first chance to own it outside of Japan!
One Piece Film: Red
You caught us in action (with every pun intended) – yes, we saved our biggest announcement for last! You may have seen us showcase it at MCM London Comic Con, and many of you have been eager to pre-order and get your hands on the release of our blockbuster One Piece Film: Red! Needless to say, we’re super excited to bring One Piece the Collector’s Edition it deserves, and you won’t be disappointed. While the film is also coming to Standard Edition Blu-ray and DVD, our One Piece Film: Red Collector’s Edition is exclusive to our AllTheAnime.com store, so don’t miss out and pre-order early to avoid disappointment!
For starters, for the first time you’ll be able to enjoy One Piece in all its 4K UHD splendour, with our Collector’s Edition containing the film on both Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray. We also have so many on-disc features that we’ve had to set aside an entire, additional bonus Blu-ray disc to fit them all in! The fun doesn’t end there though, as there’s plenty of physical bonus items to enjoy too! For starters, we have an A3 replica poster from the film’s theatrical release, as well as a vinyl sticker to show your love for Uta. Speaking of which, how would you like a unique, numbered ticket for Uta’s concert from the film?
