It’s pretty shocking looking around the UK anime scene and realizing we still lack many of the landmark anime releases that other countries have been able to take for granted for years now.
And so in the spirit of, well… blind hope, I bring you our most wanted UK anime releases.
Predicted UK appearance: Maybe late 2005?
In this movie, D is called upon to find a young woman kidnapped by an incredibly strong vampire and his band of servant monsters. With vampires basically feeding on humans, why as one gone to such lengths to just kidnap this young girl?
The animation, created by the highly acclaimed Madhouse Productions, is stunning and the story is a great, fast moving action adventure.
Predicted UK appearance: Late 2004
Despite all of the negative buzz this built up last year due to its infamous lack of funds towards the end of the series, Wolf’s Rain is a fantastic fantasy adventure that had me enthralled from the beginning and is a series that I can only see gaining in popularity in the future.
Predicted UK appearance: Mid 2005
Telling the tale of 2 war orphans as they try to survive in a war torn, WWII-era Japan – images from this anime will stay with you for a long time. Not for the faint of heart, Grave of the Fireflies is a true story that never shies away from the harsh truth of modern war and what it can do to society.
It’s an absolute travesty of justice this has yet to see a UK DVD release. The campaigning starts now.
Predicted UK appearance: Late 2004
Ideals and motivations are often brought into question, along with the questionable philosophy of the mafia. Do you believe in what they stand for? This is a mature anime for adults. I love it.
Predicted UK appearance: Mid 2005
