 MADMAN ENTERTAINMENT - JANUARY 2012 ANIME NEWSLETTER - ARRIETTY - DISCOVER A SECRET WORLD WITHIN OUR OWN.

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a wonderful break over the summer as we try and get rid of that holiday weight and get into the thick of summer (if it will ever come!), we're going to start off with a big bang this year with a Studio Ghibli film in cinemas and of course some long awaited titles!

Starting with an adventure, we have the often requested FAIRY TAIL COLLECTION 1 - an exciting action packed adventure that will have fans of shows like ONE PIECE and the classic GROOVE ADVENTURE RAVE craving more!

Then we're going to take you all back with some classic titles being released as well as brand new ones never before released including - DRAGON BALL Z LEVEL 1.1 on Blu-Ray. This is the original DBZ you've been craving for and yes, it's uncropped in all its 4:3 glory.

Next, take a trip back into the cyberpunk era with the re-release of BUBBLEGUM CRISIS TOKYO 2040. A much requested title that has been missing from our catalogue for a little while! Then, we go a bit magical with the re-release of PRETEAR directed by Junichi Sato the original director of SAILOR MOON!

Finally for something that's a bit older but never released before - NIGHT WARRIORS - DARKSTALKERS REVENGE. Fans of this Capcom fighting game classic will be very happy indeed! What a month and great start to the year.
