Project Itoh’s The Empire of Corpses will be getting a limited release in select theaters in North America. FUNimation will be the distributor and has scheduled April 19 and 20 for these releases, however, no theaters have been named for the release yet. If you are in a larger metropolitan you might ask around your area and I am sure the closer it gets to the release date FUNimation will have places listed on their website. At least I would hope so, so fans can attend. Here is the teaser trailer that FUNimation’s YouTube channel has put out for Empire of Corpses:
New Light Novels from Yen Press
FUNimation gets Legendary
AnimeNews Network is reporting that FUNimation will be releasing The Legend of the Legendary Heroes (Densetsu no Yusha no Densetsu). The anime series is an adaptation of Takaya Kagami’s fantasy light novels and is slated to be available on DVD and Blu-Ray next Spring.
Library Wars Becomes Movie
AnimeNews Network’s site says that a June flyer for Kadokawa Shoten’s Kadokawa Bunko imprint has announced that a film based on Hiro Arikawa’s Library War (Toshokan Senso) light novels is in the beginning stages. As with any movie in the beginning stages it could fall apart or make it to the theaters. Hopefully this will make it to the theaters and then be made available to the North American market to purchase in Blu-Ray and DVD formats.
