Casshern DVD coming to the UK!

A new DVD label, Momentum Asia, has recently launched in the UK and announced much of its release plans for early 2005. Of considerable interest to UK anime fans should be that Momentum Asia are planning to releasing the UK DVD of Casshern– a much lauded Japanese science fiction film that has wowed cinema go-ers across the globe (Casshern is live-action adaptation of a vintage anime series of same name).

In their press release, Momentum Asia explain “… we have sought out and continue to seek out new, cutting edge productions from throughout the whole of Asia for theatrical and DVD release in the future. With Momentum Asia, we have committed ourselves to this area of the market and aim to be a driving force in introducing UK audiences to the best in Asian cinema for some time to come.” Here’s hoping their release schedule will also contain some anime, too.
