The team at Australian anime publisher Siren Visual, who are known for their niche releases, will be kicking off the year with two brand new releases on DVD. To be available starting January 21st 2015, both these series are slightly older than what their competitors are offering this month, but nevertheless look really exciting.
More information on both can be found below:
RahXephon: The Complete Series
DVD | $49.95 | Hybrid Dub | 650 Minutes | Produced in 2001
The city of Tokyo has been overthrown, taken over by Invaders who have devastated the rest of the planet… For 15 years, the remnants of the human race have fought a losing battle against the Mu and their Dolem, knowing that the key to victory lies within the domed walls of Tokyo Jupiter, where time flows in a different path and none of the mind-wiped citizens even know that the city has been conquered.
No one has been able to get into Tokyo. Until now… Prepare for the ultimate paradigm shift as one young man learns the horrifying secret in RahXephon.

Thus begins an epic adventure inspired by Jules Verne’s masterpiece 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Join Nadia and Jean as they travel the high seas in search of Nadia’s homeland and her past, their only clue the mysterious jewel Nadia wears. Can they unravel the Secret of the Blue Water before it is too late? Discover Nadia, Secret of Blue Water and find out for yourself!

Do you like the prospect of there being even more classic anime series released in Australia like Nadia Secret of Blue Water? In my interview with Siren Visual’s Leon last year, he confirmed that we can expect even more classic anime series to be acquired by them during 2015.
