Let’s be honest with each other…. upon looking at the December release list from Madman Entertainment which was released early this month, there were only a handful of titles and personally, none were all that relevant to my tastes in anime (Hey – even reviewers have preferences!). This weekend the Armageddon Expo was held this weekend in Melbourne, and with it came a Madman Entertainment Panel – a staple of every anime convention it seems. They announced in their panel that they had acquired the license to the title “Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva”, based off the successful Professor Layton gaming series on the Nintendo DS. What is this title about?
The Professor receives a letter from his old student, the famous opera diva Janice Quatlane who will soon perform at the legendary Crown Petone Opera House. She sends Layton two tickets and invites him to attend as her special guest. Meanwhile, a rash of disappearances hits London. Two young school girls are the latest victims and the Professor suspects it’s related to the strange things that are happening at the theatre. As Layton’s assistant Remi stays behind to investigate the case of the missing girls, Layton and Luke travel to the Opera House to solve their toughest puzzle yet, the mystery of Eternal Life!
As with their other December releases, it will be available for purchase on the 14th of December for a RRP of $29.95. The DVD will also come with a number of bonus extras including:
- Introducing Level 5
- Inside OLM studios
- Inside PA Works Studios
- Making of the 3D scenes
- Focus of the last riddle
