YAKUZA APOCALYPSE. (2015) REVIEW BY SANDRA HARRIS.

Win Beautifully Moving Anime Wolf Children on DVD

Part slice-of-life drama about the joys and tribulations of single mother Hana raising her half-wolf kids, part rite-of-passage movie about finding your place in the world, Wolf Children is a funny, moving and accessible film directed by a true anime great.

After receiving an abundance of praise from its theatrical release, we are pleased to say that we have a DVD copy to give away to celebrate Wolf Children coming to DVD and Collector's Edition on 23rd December.

19-year-old Hana is studying at university when she falls in love with a mysterious classmate with a highly unusual secret - he is the last descendant of Japan's now-extinct grey wolves, and possesses the ability to transform into a wolf. Not daunted by this, Hana and her wolf man lover start a family, with energetic daughter Yuki ('Snow') soon followed by her more timid little brother Ame ('Rain').

But when tragedy strikes and her wolf man suddenly dies, Hana is left to cope with the two young children on her own - and both Yuki and Ame have inherited their dad's power to shift between human and wolf form. Moving to the countryside and the seclusion of an abandoned old house in the mountains, Hana hopes to raise her family away from prying eyes …but life's not that simple.

Win Panty&Stocking With Garterbelt On DVD

Behold the madness this 30th July in the form of Panty and Stocking With Garter Belt Complete Series Collection (Manga Entertainment).

Foul-mouthed fallen angels Panty and Stocking must rid Daten City of malevolent ghosts if they're to be allowed back into heaven. Without a doubt, one of the rudest, crudest, funniest and weirdest anime ever made- available to buy on DVD 30th July. 
 

Angels Panty and Stocking have been booted out of heaven for bad behaviour and can't return until they've destroyed the ghosts menacing Daten City. Fortunately, the less-than-angelic pair have some surprises hidden away under their dresses - blonde-haired sex maniac Panty can magically transform her knickers into a handgun while her sugar-addicted sister Stocking can change her stripy legwear into twin katana. Aided by bondage-loving, afro-bedecked priest Garterbelt and their luckless dog Chuck, Panty and Stocking battle a host of bad guys including faeces monsters, sperm ghosts, evil cheerleaders and alien robots …not to mention their demonic arch rivals, Scanty and Kneesocks. Panty And Stocking With Garter Belt is Studio Gainax's homage to Western cartoons such as The Powerpuff Girls, Ren & Stimpy and South Park - 13 potty-mouthed episodes of delicious double-entendre, gross out comedy and all-round weirdness topped off with brilliantly audacious animation.

To win a copy of this mad anime on DVD courtesy of Manga Entertainment please complete the following form:

Managa Entertainment Bringing Rin Okumura's BLUE EXORCIST This August

A lot of teens are embarrassed by their parents, but Rin Okumura has more right than most - his father turns out to be Satan himself! Combining sizzling action scenes, quirky comedy and luscious art design, Blue Exorcist follows Rin on his quest to become the strongest exorcist at the True Cross Academy so that he can give his demonic dad the ass-kicking he deserves.

Quick tempered and fond of a good scrap, 15-year-old Rin Okumura has grown up being called a ‘demon child’ but it's still a shock to discover that he is, in fact, the literal son of Satan. When his guardian, Father Fujimoto Shirou, dies defending him against demons, Rin defies his Hellish heritage and enrols at the True Cross Academy, determined to become the world's strongest exorcist.
Starting any new school is a challenge, but Rin's got it tougher than most. Not only must he master his deadly demonic powers and fight the forces of darkness, but Rin also finds himself in the unenviable position of being instructed by his genius twin brother Yukio, who is already a teacher at the Academy! Then there's the question of how Rin's fellow classmates - shy Shiemi, hot-blooded Bon and haughty Izumo - will react if they ever discover his true parentage…

Blue Exorcist is a genuine all-rounder, an anime that's equally at home with hi-octane fight scenes, fast-paced comedy, bittersweet drama and even a dash of romance. Starring a strong pair of protagonists in Rin and Yukio, the shonen series also features a substantial supporting cast, gorgeous graphics and surprisingly deep character development. All in all, Blue Exorcist is one Hell of a show.

Manga Entertainment are bringing this one to UK&Ireland and August 20th is the day of reckoning, check out the film' trailer below.

Koji Masunari's Welcome To The Space Show Coming To UK This July!

The July  Koji Masunari's Welcome To The Space Show  will arrive on Blu Ray and DVD thanks to Manga Entertainment UK. A dazzlingly animated sci-fi adventure for the whole family that matches the very best work of Hayao Miyazaki (Ponyo; Spirited Away) in its visual and creative brilliance.

Five young school friends set to spend a week together at summer camp avoiding the hassles of parental supervision unexpectedly find themselves on a truly out-of-this-world adventure when their class rabbit goes missing. Searching for their pet, the kids find and rescue what they believe to be an injured dog. As it turns out, the creature is actually a stranded alien named Pochi, who rewards their kindness with the offer of a trip to the moon! However, this simple sightseeing excursion to view the lunar landscape up close spins out of control and leads to a thrilling chase across the galaxy, with the five friends and their extra-terrestrial companion on the run from evil aliens intent on ruling the universe.

Stylistically reminiscent of Mamoru Hosoda’s “Summer Wars” with touches of Miyazaki’s “My Neighbour Totoro”, this is a stunning piece of animation that will thrill adults and children alike. If you’re a fan of Studio Ghibli but wished their output could be a little bit edgier in content, then this will be right up your street.

The film as well as some of the voice cast were at last month's London MCM Expo with a short preview of the film however you can own Welcome To The Space Show  when it's released on DVD&Blu-Ray July 2nd.
