Manga Animatsu announce Q4 2016 line-up; new titles unveiled

Written by A. H. on 22 Jul 2016



We're barely into the third quarter of 2016 but it's already time to start thinking and talking about what the final months of the year have to hold - this is particularly the case for Manga Animatsu, who had a number of titles to unveil as part of their Q4 2016 line-up, including some unannounced titles.

Thus, let's run-down what they've just lifted the lid on via their web

On October 16th, GAINAX's Subaru-sponsored TV series Wish Upon the Pleaides will arrive as a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack from Animatsu Entertaniment, who describe the series thus:

When Subaru goes to her local observatory to prepare for an upcoming meteor shower, she ends up seeing far more of the stars than she expected.

Instead of a simulated viewing of astronomical phenomena, she gets recruited to take part in a fantastic adventure with a mysterious young man, a bizarre alien creature, and a group of girls dressed in cute, magical garb. Together with the other girls (who are suddenly and strangely members of Subaru's school), Subaru becomes part of a clandestine effort to retrieve fragments of an alien spaceship! However, the fragments are being scattered all over the universe. Time is limited, and the girls face a nemesis who is seeking to gather all the parts for himself!

Then, October 31st sees Manga Entertainment bring us studio Trigger's adaptation of manga series When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace on both DVD and Blu-ray:

The origin of the Senko High School Literature Club's powers might be a little sketchy, and they may spend more time chatting than engaging in superhuman feats. Still, there's no questioning the incredible abilities of the club's female members: Tomoyo can control time; Hatoko is a mistress of the elements; Chifuyu can create matter; and Sayumi can return any item to a previous state. With these powers, there are few tasks these girls can't handle.

Meanwhile, Jurai, the club's only male member, has a dark flame that seems a little pointless in comparison, and only time will tell if it matures into anything more useful. Toss in a Student Council president who's developed powers of her own and things are about to get seriously weird as the study of literature takes a comic book turn in When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace!

Moving into another month, 14th November sees The Perfect Insider released in DVD/Blu-ray combo pack form via Animatsu Entertainment. This noitaminA broadcast show is described thus:

For most people, finding a dead body on their vacation would mean the vacation is over. However, for Souhei Saikawa, a professor of architecture, and his student Moe Nishinosono, a math prodigy, it's a different kind of challenge.

Genius programmer Shiki Magata, one of Souhei's idols, is inexplicably murdered inside the sealed research lab she disappeared to after being found innocent of her parents' murder. As Souhei and Moe take the first steps into a deadly new world, they must untangle the complex web of events and clues leading up to the murder. With danger creeping up around them, this may be the last mystery this pair of human anomalies attempts to solve in THE PERFECT INSIDER!

Finally, December 19th sees the first instalment of the Digimon Adventure Tri movie series released in DVD and Collector's Edition Blu-ray forms from Manga Entertainment:

Six years have past since Taichi Yagami and the rest of the DigiDestined crossed over to the Digital World for the first time. And nearly three years have passed since the final battle between Hikari Yagami's group and BelialVamdemon. As the peaceful days passed by, suddenly the gate to the Digital World closed, and not even the DigiDestined know why...

All of these titles will be available to pre-order at the usual retailers from next Wednesday, 27th July. Which of these titles are you looking forward to? Let us know in the comments!
