On Monday September 6, MVM will release the feature film Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul, the continuation of the previous Made in Abyss TV series. MVM describes the film's story:
"Dawn of the Deep Soul continues the epic adventure of plucky Riko and Reg who are joined by their new friend Nanachi. Together they descend into the Abyss' treacherous fifth layer, the Sea of Corpses, and encounter the mysterious Bondrewd, a legendary White Whistle whose shadow looms over Nanachi's troubled past. Bondrewd is ingratiatingly hospitable, but the brave adventurers know things are not always as they seem in the enigmatic Abyss."
Anime Limited will release the 2015 series Big Order as a Collectors Blu-ray. It includes the ten TV episodes, an OVA episode and a 16-page art booklet. Anime Limited describes the story:
"Ten years ago, Eiji Hoshimiya destroyed the world. Or close enough, anyway. Eiji is what they call an Order: someone whose wish, their innermost desire, has been given form. Money, immortality--whatever it might be, an Order has the power to make it real. And the most terrifying part? Orders look like any normal human, with no way to tell one from the other. Yet, as the destroyer of the world, that's how Eiji has managed to live since the disaster, alone but safe, and terrified to use his power again. But he might not have a choice when his class gets a new transfer student, one who has too keen an interest in a supposedly anti-social boy like him."
Nobuharu Kamanaka (episode director for BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, Freezing, Robotics;Notes) directed the series at studio asread. Katsuhiko Takayama (The Future Diary, Aldnoah.Zero, Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts) wrote and oversaw the scripts, and Chika Kojima (chief animation director for The Future Diary) was character designer.
Anime Limited will also release a 4K UHD version of Makoto Shinkai's 2019 film Weathering With You. As well as carrying a 4K UHD disc of the film, it will also contain the film on a standard Blu-ray disc.
Anime Limited summarises the story:
"High school freshman Hodaka Morishima leaves his home on an isolated island and moves to Tokyo, but he quickly finds himself in financial trouble. Living his days in isolation, he eventually lands a job as a writer for a shady occult magazine. Then one day in an alley, Hodaka meets a young girl named Hina Amano, bright and strong-willed, who possesses a strange and wonderful ability: the power to stop the rain and clear the sky."
Anime Limited will also release a standard Blu-ray edition of the first volume of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, carrying the first 24 episodes of the series (the HD Remaster version).
