Right Stuf was the one that was suppose to be release Macross Frontier and Macross Delta (plust Macross 7). And shortly after Crunchyroll bought Right Stuf. It's clear that Crunchyroll wants no part of releasing these titles on home video. I'm glad to see that Anime Limited got this figured out with BIGWEST. I hope Macross 7 will be next after Frontier and Delta gets released.

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SECOND SEASON OF HIT ISEKAI SERIES “REINCARNATED AS A SWORD” TO STREAM EXCLUSIVELY ON HIDIVE IN 2026

LOS ANGELES — JULY 5, 2025 — The question isekai fans have long been asking was answered today at Anime Expo 2025 with the announcement that AMC Networks’ HIDIVE will stream the highly anticipated second season of Reincarnated as a Sword. Based on the popular novels and manga created by Yuu Tanaka, the isekai anime series originally debuted in late 2022 and was in instant hit with audiences and critics alike—constantly praised for its storyline, characters and visuals. And ever since, Reincarnated as a Sword is consistently ranked among the top isekai anime of all time. Season 2 of Reincarnated as a Sword is slated to premiere in 2026 as an exclusive simulcast series during HIDIVE’s fall season. The new Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 logo and teaser visual were first revealed this morning by NBC Universal to Anime Expo attendees during the licensor’s industry panel.

“We’re excited to reveal that Season 2 of the hit isekai Reincarnated as a Sword will return next year and stream exclusively as part of HIDIVE’s Fall 2026 simulcast season line-up,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. ”Reincarnated as a Sword was an instant hit with audiences when the original season premiered on HIDIVE in 2022. The series’ popularity and fandom have never waned since then and will undoubtedly grow even further when Season 2 premieres in 2026!”

Some isekai protagonists are reincarnated as powerful warriors or skilled wizards, but our protagonist was reborn in another life as a sentient sword! He’s taken up by Fran, a desperate girl fleeing evil-doers intent on selling her into slavery. With her new weapon’s help and guidance, she’s able to strike down her captors and secure her freedom. Together, this unconventional master-student duo embarks on an epic journey to liberate those in need and exact justice on the cruel of heart.

Reincarnated as a Sword is adapted from Yuu Tanaka’s original novels and manga series, including Micro Magazine's GC Novels light novel series illustrated by Ruroo and the manga series illustrated by Tomowo Maruyama and published in Gentosha's Comic Boost, both of which are available in English from Seven Seas Entertainment. The anime series is directed by Shinji Ishihira along with writing by Takahiro Nagano and production by C2C.

TAMALA 2030: A PUNK CAT IN DARK

Ahead of its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival, Deaf Crocodile and Cartuna announced today they have jointly acquired the North American rights to Tamala 2030: A Punk Cat in Dark, the long-awaited sequel to the underground anime landmark Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space. The psychedelic cyber-noir will be released theatrically next year.

Written, directed, and composed by the mysterious duo K. and kuno — collectively known as t.o.L.— Tamala 2030 picks up the existential thread of its iconic feline anti-hero. Set in Cat Tokyo in the year 2030, the film follows the incorrigible Tamala—a pint-sized, chain-smoking, time-hopping cat—as she impulsively joins her detective friend Michelangelo in investigating a string of bizarre disappearances across Cat Japan. Their search uncovers an intricate pattern tied to ancient occult forces, cosmic prophecy, and a shadowy megacorporation with a familiar name: Catty & Co. The deeper the mystery unravels, the clearer it becomes that Tamala may be more than just a wayward mascot—she may be a messiah, a myth, or the end of everything.

If Tamala 2010 was a subversive take on kawaii culture through a punk sci-fi lens, Tamala 2030 is a futuristic Neo-Noir, doubling down on the first film’s metaphysical mayhem. Inspired in part by the sudden disappearance of loved ones and friends during the COVID pandemic, the film is a kaleidoscope of surreal satire, pop iconography, and mind-bending narrative fragments, fusing influences from Philip K. Dick, David Lynch, and Thomas Pynchon with the aesthetics of Hello Kitty and post-internet paranoia. The result is a visually and philosophically radical experience—part art film, part cosmic joke, and wholly singular.

“The film ‘TAMALA 2010,’ starring PunkCat ‘TAMALA’ was produced in the early 21st century. This chronicle and strange animation has been loved by the founders of DEAF CROCODILE for 20 years,” comments the co-directing team of t.o.L. “Then, in 2025 , when the new film ‘TAMALA 2030’ was produced, we met our new friend, CARTUNA. toL , the director of the ‘TAMALA’ series, is very excited about this upcoming collaboration with the trusted DEAF CROCODILE and CARTUNA !!!!”



“I’ve been a huge fan of t.o.L’s visionary animation since the original Tamala 2010, which Craig and I re-released last year,” says Dennis Bartok, Deaf Crocodile’s Co-Founder. “During work on that, t.o.L let it slip they were nearing completion on a new film continuing Tamala’s cyberpunk adventures, and our jaws hit the floor!”

Deaf Crocodile Co-Founder Craig Rogers adds, ‘We fell in love with Tamala as soon as we met her. It took 23 years, but to quote the sassy cat herself, “Another f*cking day is about to begin.” Let’s do this!“

“Tamala is back, and she’s weirder, wiser, and more dangerous than ever,” said James Belfer, Founder and CEO of Cartuna. “Tamala 2030 is a gorgeous, mystifying, mind-altering work. This is not just a sequel—it’s a cosmic escalation of everything that made Tamala 2010 a cult obsession.”

This marks the first co-acquisition between Cartuna and Deaf Crocodile, two companies with deep ties to genre-defying animation and international cult cinema. Cartuna continues to build out its slate of theatrical distribution, which includes Boys Go to Jupiter and Dead Lover. Deaf Crocodile continues its acclaimed mission as a leading curator of restored and rediscovered global animation and world cinema.

HIDIVE UNVEILS “PETALS OF REINCARNATION” ANIME ADAPTATION AS NEWEST CO-PRODUCTION

HOUSTON, TX JULY 21, 2025 — AMC Networks’ HIDIVE today revealed Petals of Reincarnation as the newest co-production from the fast-growing anime streaming service. This highly anticipated anime adaptation is based on Mikihisa Konishi’s popular and ongoing supernatural action manga title that began serialization in May 2014. The anime series is currently in production for future release.

“We’re thrilled to announce the highly anticipated anime adaptation of Petals of Reincarnation as HIDIVE’s newest co-production,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. “Petals of Reincarnation has been beloved by readers for more than a decade and HIDIVE, together with the entire Production Committee, looks forward to bringing the manga series to life as a supernatural action anime!”

Written and illustrated by Mikihisa Konishi, Petals of Reincarnation is a supernatural action manga about Touya Senji, a talentless high school student who comes to discovers that talent is gained not from learning but rather a previous life—and only by self-inflicted death and the supernatural aid of the “Stem of Reincarnation.”

Petals of Reincarnation is currently serialized in MAGCOMI and Monthly Comic Garden published by MAG Garden, and it is available in English via the Mangamo mobile app. Now more than 11 years since its launch in May 2014, the title encompasses 21 volumes-to-date and more than 3,000,000 copies in print. The anime adaptation was first announced on August 1, 2024 in Japan as part of the manga’s 10th anniversary celebration.

SCI-FI ORIGINAL ANIME Towa no Yuugure — “DUSK BEYOND THE END OF THE WORLD” — WILL TRANSPORT FANS INTO THE FUTURE THIS FALL ON HIDIVE

Series’ World Premiere to Be Held on August 24 at Anime NYC 2025

HOUSTON, TXJuly 29, 2025 — The future arrives this October with today’s announcement from AMC Networks’ HIDIVE that the new sci-fi drama series Dusk Beyond the End of the World, now the official English language series name for Towa no Yuugure, will stream exclusively as part of the anime streaming service’s Fall 2025 simulcast season. Dusk Beyond the End of the World is an original anime set in a futuristic world where technology has transformed society. With each new episode, audiences will experience this unknown world together—discovering that love and relationships now exist between humans and androids. HIDIVE also debuted the official English subtitled trailer for the upcoming show as well as revealed that, in advance of the series’ debut, it will host the world premiere of Dusk Beyond the End of the World Episodes 1 & 2 on Sunday, August 24 at the Javits Center in New York City as part of the streamer’s Anime NYC 2025 programming schedule.

“We’re excited to stream the new sci-fi drama Dusk Beyond the End of the World this October as part of our Fall 2025 simulcast line-up,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. “We look forward to sharing this truly unique original anime, which will transport audiences to an unknown futuristic world that will be explored together with each new episode. Fans will not want to miss this journey!”

The world is on the verge of changing from an old fashioned society to a new world, due to issues such as gender, race and compliance along with technological innovations such as an evolving AI. Even in this world where black and white is now gray, we believe that “love” will always exist but in myriad forms and not just between people. This includes love between human and robot and its unique expression. The beauty of these emotions will be shown sometimes beautifully, sometimes brutally, and sometimes comically. How long can this love last? When a robot outlives its human partner, can their love hope to endure?

Dusk Beyond the End of the World, or Towa no Yuugure in the original Japanese, will be produced by P.A.Works together with direction and series composition by Naokatsu Tsuda, character drafting by Aoi Tayama, character design by Yoshiko Saito and music by Masahiro Tokuda. The series stars Shuichiro Umeda as Akira, Shuichiro Umeda as Yuugre and Ai Chino as Towasa.

Dusk Beyond the End of the World World Premiere at Anime NYC 2025

The Case Files of Jeweler Richard
Collector’s Edition

Next up in our August pre-order list is this hidden gem (gem… jeweler… do you see what we did there?) – a tale of love and mystery, what’s not to like? What’s more, we’re distributing the title in both the UK and US!

“One night, a college student with a strong sense of justice, Seigi Nakata, saved a gorgeous foreigner, Richard, who was being harassed by some drunks.

When Seigi found out that Richard was a jeweler, he asked for an appraisal on a ring with a shady history; one which his grandmother had kept secret until she died. The appraisal had revealed her past, truth, and desire.

It led Seigi to work as a part-time employee for Richard’s jewelry store, the “Jewelry Etranger” in Ginza.

While solving various “mysteries”, the relationship between Richard and Seigi gradually changes.”

While we couldn’t run to including some jewelry in this release, our Collector’s Edition does contain an A3 poster and a series of four art cards, all housed within a rigid slipcase alongside the Amaray containing the series across two Blu-ray discs.

You can check out both sides of the rigid case below:
