Momentum nab Vexille for UK release; free anime from Manga Mon, 11 Feb 2008

According to the latest edition of the 'Manga Newsletter', Momentum Pictures have licensed the CG anime 'Vexille' and intend to release it in the UK, starting with a limited theatrical run on 9th May. The sci-fi/action flick, directed by Fumihiko "Ping Pong" Sori, is set in Japan, 2077 and was highly influenced by the 2004 Appleseed movie, sharing many of the same creative staff, including the English-born electronica soundtrack composer Paul Oakenfold.

Also in the newsletter, Manga Ent. confirm their plans to produce a new "anime showcase" DVD and give it away for free as a part of an exclusive promotion with nationwide HMV stores, starting on 25th February. This free DVD will contain the first two episodes of Bleach and Naruto, but can only be acquired when you buy something in an incoming HMV DVD sale.
