Funimation Entertainment, a North American distributor of anime series in English today announced that they had acquired the broadcast, home entertainment, merchandising and streaming rights to the complete 13 episode anime series of Pretear in the US. At this moment, there is no information on how they intend on distributing the series however it is assumed there will be some form of online streaming and DVD release in the following months.
A sixteen year old girl is struggling to adjust to a new step-family when seven guys appear on the scene revealing that she possesses a special magical power. Shying away from the strange group, she later joins them when a monster places her friend’s life in jeopardy. Without training, she must prove herself capable to take up the sacred duty of the Pretear. They must resolve their differences and work together to defeat the evil princess intent on destruction.
The series has previously been released by ADV Films several years ago and within Australia and New Zealand, Madman Entertainment re-released the series and there actually should be a review of the show up on The Otaku’s Study within the next week or so.
