posted on by Christopher Macdonald
According to a recent press release, Manga Entertainment is planning on releasing "Kaidomaru" & "Read or Die" in May and June 2003 respectively.
The following excerpts are taken from a Manga Entertainment / Sputnik 7 press release:
Kai Doh Maru - Coming May 2003: Born a girl in feudal Japan but raised and taught to fight as a boy, Sakata-no-Kintoki's "Kai Doh Maru" warrior alter ego incites the jealousy of childhood friend Princess Ouni-Hime over the affections of fellow warrior Raikoh... so much so that the wicked Princess threatens to destroy the entire city. This masterful, fully digital tale of intrigue and passion is the latest from Blood: The Last Vampire animators Production I.G and I.G. Plus. http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Animation/kaidohmaru/english/index.html.
Read or Die - Coming June 2003: Bibliophilic substitute teacher - and part-time operative for the Special Operations Force of the British Libraries - Yomiko Readman becomes entrenched in a plot for world domination revealed through writings in the margins of certain rare books. Anime Expo 2002 attendees should look for Read or Die creator Hideyuki Kurata, director Koji Masunari, and character designer Masashi Ishihama, as all will be special guests at the Expo. http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Animation/ROD/.
