While it doesn’t seem like the company have as many announcements up their sleeves as they did at last weekends Supanova: Pop Culture Expo held in Sydney, Hanabee Entertainment have today confirmed their acquisition of the anime series Tsuritama (つり球). To be released on both DVD and Blu-ray from the 4th September 2013, this collection is set to feature all 12 episodes in the series alongside a hybrid-dub track – both the original Japanese and newer English dubs. The DVD edition will set you back $54.99 while the Blu-ray edition is five dollars dearer at $59.99.
Tsuritama aired in Japan under the noitaminA timeslot and features animation by A-1 Pictures and direction by Kenji Nakamura.
Saving the world one fish at a time.
When the fate of the world lies in Yuki’s non-existent fishing skills there’s only one thing to do – learn to fish of course! But socially awkward Yuki has more pressing matters drawing his attention…like his debilitating inability to communicate with others (and the fact that he’s the new kid on the block is not helping matters).
Haru, a peculiar boy with his own secrets, is making it his mission to help Yuki learn to fish and make friends in the process. Although when your group of potential friends consists of a cold ‘Fishing Prince’ and an aloof Indian hiding his own agenda in the form of DUCK things are bound to get messy.
