Almost ten years after the show began airing its 40-epiosde run, North American anime publisher Sentai Filmworks have confirmed they have acquired rights for the French-Japanese animated series Time Jam: Valerian & Laureline. This is a science-fiction show based on the original 1967 French comic series written by Pierre Christin and illustrated by Jean-Claude Mézières.
Claiming to offer “action, adventure, romantic rivalry and mystery abound”, the complete 40-episode TV series of Time Jam: Valerian & Laureline will be available soon via select digital video-on-demand services. A home video release is also set to follow, but it isn’t clear if this will be available sooner or later.
