Madman Make Four Anime Announcements at AVCon 2014 Panel

-

AVCon 2014 (Adelaide’s Anime and Video Game Convention) is just about to wrap up for another year, and from what I have heard from friends who were fortunate enough to attend, it was a very memorable event with no shortage of panels, guests or cosplayers. Both Madman Entertainment and Hanabee Entertainment during the event held industry panels amongst their busy screening schedules. We heard from Hanabee Entertainment yesterday about their plans for the coming months, and today Madman Entertainment have brought a set of four new anime acquisitions to the table – some brand new and others being new releases in already licensed series.

Information on the four announcements made by Madman Entertainment can be found below:

1

Hellsing Ultimate Vol. IX / X

Madman have confirmed that these two volumes will be released in November 2014. Two volumes split across episodes I and VIII are already available from the publisher. Note that the official Madman website has a misprint, implying that the second volume contains episodes IX and X, which it doesn’t.

The rogue vampire Alucard is the Hellsing Organization’s deadliest instrument in its mission to protect the British Empire from satanic ghouls and Nazi freaks. Though he is not alone in his assault on the occult; the master has a servant. Policewoman Seras Victoria accepted Alucard’s gift of dark salvation after falling in the line of duty, and now the remnants of her human soul struggle against her growing vampire urges. Together, they haunt the shadows as a sinister force of good – and tonight the foggy streets of England shall flow with the blood of their evil prey.

Ninja Scroll

After a long hiatus, Madman Entertainment have confirmed that they will be bringing Yoshiaki Kawajiri and Studio Madhouse’s ninja classic Ninja Scroll to DVD and, for the first time ever, remastered on Blu-ray. Once again, release date is currently set for November 2014.

Feudal Japan: a time of danger, intrigue and deception. Jubei is a masterless ninja who travels the land alone, hiring his services to those with gold… or a worthy cause. His fearsome abilities have served him well, but now he must face off against an old nemesis, who is bent on overthrowing the Japanese government and supported by a terrifying group of demons with superhuman powers.

Ghost in the Shell: 25th Anniversary

Again set for release in November, Madman will be releasing a deluxe 25th Anniversary HD restoration and reissue of Ghost in the Shell: 25th Anniversary on Blu-ray. This collection will include a bonus 22-page booklet.

The year is 2029, the world is made borderless by the net; augmented humans who live in virtual environments. Watched over by law enforcement agents that are able to download themselves into super-powered, crime busting mecha. The ultimate secret agent of the future is not human, has no physical body and can travel freely through the information highways of the world. Hacking and manipulating whatever, whomever and whenever required…

Senran Kagura

While no release date or media format has been confirmed for the series, Madman have announced their acquisition of the anime series Senran Kagura.

Asuka and her friends may look like any other girls at Hanzo Academy, but they’re secretly studying the ancient art of Ninjutsu! While other students do their homework, Asuka and the gang push their beautiful bodies to the breaking point in pursuit of their perfect form. Life is one sexy sparring session after another until a deviously demented rival clan of evil ninjas ambushes the Hanzo hotties – and steals their sacred ninja scroll.

Faced with their toughest – and most well-rounded – enemies ever, Asuka and her fellow deadly divas will have to go further than they’ve ever gone before to prove they’ve mastered the art of full frontal combat!
