The movie will debut in Japanese theaters August 25. Since this is a fairly popular title in North America it will more than likely have a DVD release for our region.

AMV Spotlight of the Week
I know a couple of weeks have slipped by that I didn’t get to our AMV Spotlight. This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber “garblehose”. “Garblehose” takes the song “Secret Agent Man” performed by Johnny Rivers and edits it to scenes from the FX show Archer. If you remember we did a review on Archer on Episode 17 of ComicPop Library podcast, so you knew we had to do an AMV of Archer eventually. The selected scenes fit the lyrics of the song really well and the cuts are very clean. Great job on this AMV “garblehose”. Be warned that this is a mature AMV and is not appropriate for all audiences, it contains violence and partial nudity. You can check out the AMV below or on YouTube under “Archer – Secret agent man”:

Thanks to ICv2 and YouTube for the following trailer of Chicken with Plums:
