Since Metallic Rouge was announced at Fuji TV Anime Lineup Presentation 2023, it was clear that the new anime series from the prestigious Bones studio would be an emotive way to commemorate the first 25 years of the company made by ex-key members of Sunrise Studio (now Bandai Namco Filmworks). Most anime enthusiasts know Bones for series like My Hero Academia , Fullmetal Alchemist (both adaptations), Bungo Stray Dogs , Mob Psycho 100 and movies like Escaflowne, Cowboy Bebop and Josee, the Tiger and the Fish . But true fans of the studio’s vast filmography know that their original works had an important impact on the anime industry since their beginning. So, why is Metallic Rouge so perfect to celebrate Bones’ first 25 years? Impressive Original Stories As a futuristic mystery thriller, the strongest element of the story is how Toshizo Nemoto ( Log Horizon ) and Yutaka Izubuchi ( Space Battleship Yamato 2199 ) tell the story of...

Spend enough time in anime fandom and you hear a common refrain: "They don't make shows like they used to anymore." Do they? There's plenty of great anime still being made: Fall 2022 alone brought an incredible bumper crop of anime series across multiple genres. Some may prefer the masterpieces of the past, but those masterpieces were exceptional even then. Even so, it is indisputable that certain kinds of anime are simply not made anymore. Original anime series are scarce. Modern shows rarely last beyond 12 or 13 episodes. Robots drawn in traditional 2D animation, outside of specialist studios like Trigger or Sunrise, are rare. Even the newest "Gundam" series, usually the industry standard for 2D giant robot shows, struggled weekly to maintain the standard of its mechanical animation. To find series like the long-running psychological thriller "Monster," or the slice-of-life mystery "Haibane Renmei," you have to go back 20 or 30 years in the medium's history.

Yup, another contest just for my German readers. Sorry…
Am zweiten Tag gibt es Escaflowne: The Movie in der feinen Us Ultimate Edition abzustauben. Das Set im Schuber und Pappbox enthält neben dem Hauptfilm eine Bonus DVD sowie den grenzgenialen Soundtrack von Hajime Mizoguchi und Yoko Kanno.
Ein einfacher Kommentar bis Mitternacht (Serverzeit) reicht heute zum mitmachen aus. Wer will kann aber auch gerne versuchen zu erklären, warum die Figuren in der Vision of Escaflowne TV Serie und der Filmversion unterschiedliche Nasen haben…

Over a year after the Japanese release of Escaflowne: The Movie on Blu-ray Disc, Bandai Entertainment has announced to bring Kazuki Akane’s theatrical adaptation to the USA in high definition as well. Rumors of the upcoming release have been circulation during the Anime Expo but now it has been confirmed on Mania.com (formerly Anime on DVD).
Escaflowne is supposed to be released on September 15th and will (unlike the Japanese Blu-ray Disc release) include English subtitles and the English dub in Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (Yoko Kanno fans rejoice!). It’s still unknown if this release will be coming directly by Bandai Entertainment (like Sword of the Strager) or their elite sublabel Honneamise (Akira).
While it’s always nice to see more subtitled Blu-ray Disc releases coming to the Us I would have preferred Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door instead of the mediocre adaptation of the Vision of Escaflowne TV series,...
