Sentai Filmworks acquire Time Jam: Valerian and Laureline for North America

Written by A. H. on 10 Feb 2017



North American distributor Sentai Filmworks have been digging deep into the anime vaults in recent years as well as picking up newer titles, and yesterday saw the company announce a license that sits somewhere between those two poles.

The series in question is actually a Japanese-French co-production courtesy of animation studio Satelight, in the form of Time Jam: Valerian & Laureline. Here's the press release from the distributor's web site with more details about the 40 episode series:

SENTAI FILMWORKS LICENSES “TIME JAM: VALERIAN & LAURELINE”

HOUSTON, February 9, 2017 – Sentai Filmworks is proud to announce its acquisition of the French-Japanese animated series Time Jam: Valerian & Laureline. This 2007 production is based on the 1967 French comic series that is lauded as a cornerstone for the science-fiction genre, influencing intergalactic masterpieces such as Star Wars and The Fifth Element.

In the year 2417, a dashing space cadet named Valerian travels to the year 912 where he breaks the rules and rescues a beautiful, and highly intelligent, peasant girl named Laureline. When his actions make the Earth disappear from the solar system, as the only humans left in the galaxy, Valerian and Laureline begin a new life as adventurers through time and space in hopes of restoring the Earth. Meanwhile, the two must also work together in a galaxy threatened by the sinister Vlagosian armada!

Action, adventure, romantic rivalry, and mystery abound in Time Jam: Valerian & Laureline! The complete 40-episode series will soon be available through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow.
