Beez to release Gunbuster 2 in the UK as soon as March '08	Wed, 16 Jan 2008
Anime UK News has received news from Beez Entertainment annoucing that they've picked up 2004's long awaited 6-episode OVA series Gunbuster 2 (aka Diebuster) and intend to release it in the UK during March 2008 as one "digipack" DVD collection with an RRP of £24.99. Extras will include "long interviews with the creators, interviews with the Japanese voice cast and Beez trailers". Of course, the "creators" are the famed anime studio Gainax, world renowned for their work on the likes of Neon Genesis Evangelion and FLCL (which is also due for a UK release later this year). As the name suggests, Gunbuster 2 is a sequel to the original 1988 series, though the plot is essentially stand-alone and only ties into the original story on a superficial level; again the emphasis is on super-powered (world-destroying) mecha piloted by brave high school students intent on repelling alien invasion.
