new anime acquisition round up

Hi Fans,

Here’s a round up of all the titles that were announced recently at Supanova Expo Brisbane. We will have more announcements to make in the coming weeks, including a massive title that you have been begging us for! Stay tuned here and our facebook/twitter feeds for the latest announcements!

Broken Blade

In Cruzon, children are born with the ability to control quartz.  This power allows them to levitate simple objects—or control enormous and complex mobile battle suits called Golems.  But when an ancient Golem is discovered during the height of a brutal war, a young king and his beautiful queen turn to Rygart Arrow.  Though an “un-sorcerer”, Rygart can miraculously pilot this ancient and powerful weapon.  But in war, school friends can turn into bitter enemies and allies have suspicious motives.  Strap yourself in, power up, and prepare for the heavy metal mecha action of BROKEN BLADE!

The World God Only Knows

Based on the hit manga by Tamiki Wakaki, the 24-episode series is helmed by Trigun and Flame of Recca vet Shigehito Takayanagi, who is directing from scripts supervised by Read Or Die creator Hideyuki Kurata (Excel Saga, Kamichu) and character designs adapted from Wakaki’s originals by Akio Watanabe (SoulTaker, Nurse Witch Komugi-chan.) Original music is provided byTransformers Armada composer Hayato Matsuo (Hellsing Ultimate, Streetfighter Alpha.)

.hack//Quantum

Tobias, Mary, and Sakura are way into the world’s largest online fantasy role-playing game known as The World R:X. Together, they form an inseparable group, grinding toward the break of day and running dungeons in search of the artifacts of adventure. But when the trio becomes lost in this virtual labyrinth, a chance encounter with the mysterious entity known only as Hermit will change their lives forever. There’s an eerie darkness spreading across The World, and once you stumble in, you may never make it out.

Squid Girl

Squid Girl has come to the land from the depths of the sea to conquer humanity for its pollution of the ocean. Unfortunately she ruins the first house she uses as an invasion base and has to work to pay for repairs. Of course, she can’t overcome the Aizawa sisters who manage the house, so who knows whether she can subjugate humankind.

Squid Girl comes to DVD and digital  in February 2012.

Mardock Scramble

To stop the unstoppable you need the irresistible. To kill the unkillable, you need someone for whom death no longer has a meaning. And to catch the perfect serial killer, you need the one person who knows his methods the best… his last victim! Murdered and reborn, no longer human, the female cyborg named Balot exists for only one reason – to track down the man who killed her and bring him to justice. But can even the ultimate hybrid between ghost and machine take down a monster who wipes his own memory… especially when HIS partner already has HER in his sights? The future will be painted blood red as vengeance hit the streets in MARDOCK SCRAMBLE!

Mardock Scramble comes to DVD and digital in March 2012

We also confirmed with audiences that BLUE EXORCIST will receive a DVD release in 2012 as well.
