This month on the podcast: With all the hype over fighting games lately, it seemed like the perfect time to do an episode on one of THE greatest video game anime of all time: Street Fighter II - The Animated Movie! And joining me to talk about this 90s favorite is my buddy and fighting game enthusiast, Casey (aka MinovskyArticle)!

News! - Discotek Media just announced several titles on their Facebook that will be released in 2014. They include:

DevilMan TV Series (1972) - The Complete 39 episode series (DVD only)

Dallos (1983) - A Mamoru Oshii title AND the first anime OAV ever made. (DVD only)

Lily C.A.T (1987) - Which will include both the Streamline Dub as well as the original Japanese version. (DVD only)

Jin-Roh (1999) - A film by Mamoru Oshii, will be re-released on DVD as well as blu-ray!

CardCaptor Sakura The Movie (1999) - To be released “sometime” in 2014, on DVD AND blu-ray!

All of these titles are a pretty big deal–Dallos has never been released in America, for example, and neither of the films being released on blu-ray have ever gotten a blu-ray release in the US. And if Discotek sees good sales on CardCaptor Sakura, who knows? Maybe they’ll consider re-releasing the TV series!

News - A trailer for the brand new Rose of Versailles movie has been released. (You can turn on captions for English subtitles as well!) Animated by Mappa, the new film is set for release in the Spring of 2025. The cast includes:

Miyuki Sawashiro as Oscar François de Jarjayes

Aya Hirano as Marie Antoinette

Toshiyuki Toyonaga as André Grandier

Kazuki Katō as Hans Axel von Fersen
