New Acquisition! BAYONETTA: Bloody Fate

Friday, 29 November 2013: Madman is proud to announce the acquisition of BAYONETTA: Bloody Fate, a new animated feature based on the popular third-person action game from SEGA.

Her name is Bayonetta. She is one of ‘the witches’ – a huntress of Angels – and this is her only memory of the past. When she receives information that a clue may lie in waiting in the sacred city of Vigrid, Bayonetta sets out on a perilous journey.

En route, Bayonetta experiences a series of strange encounters with a mysterious lady who holds cryptic hints about her past, a male journalist who implicates Bayonetta in the death of his father and a young girl who openly adores her, referring to her as ‘mommy’.

What secrets do Bayonetta’s lost memory hold and what fate lies in waiting?

Overseen by original BAYONETTA video game artist, Mari Shimazaki, BAYONETTA: Bloody Fate is an exciting collaboration between legendary anime studio Gonzo (HELLSING, AFRO SAMURAI, GANTZ, LASTEXILE, SAMURAI 7) and gaming giants SEGA (SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, YAKUZA, HOUSE OF THE DEAD) which promises to deliver a faithful and action-packed experience to both fans and casual viewers alike.

Platinum Games and SEGA released the first BAYONETTA game to wide acclaim in Japan in 2009, closely followed by other territories 2010. BAYONETTA 2 is currently in development for the Wii U and is set for release in 2014.

Madman Entertainment will be bringing BAYONETTA: Bloody Fate to Australian and New Zealand fans in 2014. Full release details and more to be confirmed in the near future.

New Acquisition: Knights of Sidonia

Madman Entertainment is pleased to announce the acquisition of highly anticipated sci-fi epic, KNIGHTS OF SIDONIA – a brand new series based on the manga written by Nihei Tsutomu.

Featuring stellar animation by multi-award winning studio Polygon Pictures (TRANSFORMERS PRIME, STAR WARS: CLONE WARS, TRON: UPRISING), KNIGHTS OF SIDONIA takes place 1000 years after an alien race known as the Gauna have laid waste to the solar system. Despite the scale of the destruction, a small portion of the human race managed to survive by boarding an enormous spaceship called Sidonia. Ever since, they have worked endlessly to maintain and defend the remaining population.

Tanikaze Nagate is a young boy who has recently been accepted into a school for Guardian pilot trainees, where he also makes his first interactions with people other than his grandfather. During their first assignment, Nagate and his friends encounter a Gauna for the first time in a hundred years. This is where the battle for humanity’s survival starts.

Debuting April 11th, exclusively on the Screening Room, Madman Entertainment will be the first in the world to stream the series in original Japanese language with English subtitles. The series will also stream with an English dub in July, 2014.
