MVM kicks off the New Year with 3 new licenses
It’s the New Year and 2013 is behind us, but while some of us may still be looking back on the year we have just left, others are keen to look forward to the future. The fellows at MVM Entertainment fall into the latter group, kicking the second day of 2014 off with three new license announcements!
The first and arguably biggest of the three new licenses is Accel World, Sunrise’s adaptation of a series of light novels by Sword Art Online‘s Reki Kawahara, which is currently set for a release this June. MVM describe the story as:
This futuristic series set in 2048 follows Haru, a short, fat boy who takes refuge in virtual games as a respite from the bullying he receives at school. Catching the attention of the school’s student council vice-president, Haru is introduced to the “Accelerated World”, where users can access the “Brain Burst”, an acceleration of time in the brain that makes the real world slow down. Drawn into an MMO battle with others in Accel World, Haru vows to take on the 6 Kings of Colour and solve the mystery of just why the Acceleration World was created.
The next new license announcement is an adaption of a visual novel, Studio Normad’s We, Without Wingsecchi anime, which will be released later this year.
Split into three chapters following different groups of people and based on the visual novel of the same name, each chapter revolves around a different lead and as the series progresses the stories become more complex and intwined. A beautifully realised slice of life anime with romance, secrets and a hint of ecchi entertainment.
The third and final announcement of this particular slate is Studio Zexcs’ post-apocalyptic fantasy Chrome Shelled Regios:
After the world has fallen into a state of disrepair, humanity has retreated to huge mobile cities named Regios. With the Earth now populated by contanimated life-forms, humanity must defend itself by using weapons called DITE. One young man trying to forget his past arrives in the Regios named Zuellini, but soon catches the attention of those who would use his considerable skills for their own ends.
Release formats for the licenses have yet to be announced.
