Is this the first Takahashi work that got an anime-only sequel? Because I can't think of any, I'm surprised she didn't do a manga first.

Official Trailer | Genie Family 2020 | VIZ

Your wish is our command! Genie Family 2020 is coming to @Crunchyroll this October!

via PR...

HOLD ONTO YOUR WISHES BECAUSE THE GENIE FAMILY IS RETURNING

SAN FRANCISCO, CA— Wishes will soon be granted when Genie Family 2020, coming to Crunchyroll this October, hits North and Latin American screens thanks to today’s announcement that VIZ Media has acquired the digital streaming, broadcast, electronic sell-through, home video, and merchandise rights to the revival of the beloved 1969 animation.

Five decades since its debut, and with a new twist on the classic, the funny and loveable King Genie is back in Genie Family 2020, only this time he has a daughter Akubi, who must undergo training in the human world in order to become a worthy queen and his successor.

Set in modern-day Tokyo and packing in all the imagination, adventure, and humor for which the original is known, Akubi's royal training begins with Kantaro, the grandson of King Genie's former master — but this new master Kantaro is in grade school, and Akubi’s wish-granting is anything but predictable. Along for the ride is Akubi’s kid brother, who loves to be mischievous.

Since debuting in 1969, Genie Family has carefully distilled the essence of friendship and dreaming big – between laughs – capturing the wonder and joy of life’s ups and downs while delivering precious nuggets of poignant wisdom along the way. The latest remake comes after two previously successful spin-offs — 2001 Yobarete Tobedete! Akubi-chan and 2006 Akubi Girl.

“Genie Family is one of the most endearing animations of its time, and we are thrilled for a whole new audience to meet the latest generation alongside fan favorite King Genie in brand-new adventures,” said Brad Woods, CMO of VIZ Media. “What was true in 1969 when the original show premiered is still true today: wishes and dreams have endless potential. We can’t wait for today’s kids to meet Kantaro, Akubi, and her rascally kid brother.”

Directing the series is Atsushi Nigorikawa, with Hiroko Kanasugi handling series composition; Shin Takemoto and Masatsune Noguchi are behind the character designs, while the music composition is by Takamitsu Shimazaki, Hiroshi Sasaki, and Teppei Shimizu. The animation production is by Tatsunoko Production (Speed Racer, Gotchaman, Casshan, Hurricane Polymar and Tekkaman, and Infini-T Force).

Genie Family 2020 stars:
  • Koichi Yamashita (Hakushon): "Ranma 1/2" Ryoga Hibiki
  • Sumire Morohoshi (Akubi): "The Promised Neverland" (2019) Emma
  • Daiki Yamashita (Puuta): "My Hero Academia" (2016 - 2019) Izuku Midoriya
  • Miyuri Shimabukuro (Kantaro): "Carole & Tuesday" (2019) Carole

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sentai Acquires “Twittering Birds Never Fly” Feature Length Trilogy

HOUSTON, TX August 26, 2020 — Sentai announced today that it acquired Twittering Birds Never Fly, the feature-length animated trilogy adapted from Kou Yoneda’s best-selling, groundbreaking manga of the same name.
Clouds Gather, the trilogy’s first installment, introduces two steely members of the Yakuza, each with secrets in their past, who occupy trusted and feared positions in the Japanese underworld. Recent parolee, Doumeki, is assigned to guard Yashiro, a mid-level enforcer who deals out daily doses of coercion, retribution and other criminal acts with brutal efficiency. But behind closed doors, their relationship quickly becomes psychologically and physically complicated. Theirs is a story entanglement, tension, power and control. Visually stunning and highly visceral, Twittering Birds Never Fly – Clouds Gather is a gritty take on classic noir mixed with stark eroticism. And as much as it leaves its characters forever changed, so too will audiences find themselves transfixed by Twittering Birds Never Fly.

Produced by studio GRIZZLY (YarichinBitch Club), Twittering Birds Never Fly - the clouds gather - is the first chapter in a trilogy of films that chronicles Yashiro and Chikara’s evolving relationship. Kaori Makita (Banana Fish, episode director) is poised to direct while Hiroshi Seko (Ajin: Demi-Human) provides the script. The manga series upon which the films are based was shortlisted for the Sugoi Japan Award in 2016 and was named a highly recommended yaoi title in a nationwide survey of employees of Japanese bookstores.
Seiyuus Wataru Hatano (Hitorijime My Hero) and Tarusuke Shingaki (My Hero Academia 4) performed respectively the roles of Chikara Domeki and Yashiro in the audio drama adaption of the manga series; they will reprise these roles for the Twittering Birds Never Fly films.

The film’s release schedule will include traditional bookings at select cinemas as well as virtual screenings for audiences at home.

Los Angeles, U.S., and Glasgow, Scotland – September 4, 2020 – Shout! Factory, a multi-platform media company, and Anime Limited, the esteemed UK distributor of animation, have announced a new North American entertainment distribution partnership for the highly sought-after anime series, BARTENDER.

This charming anthology series that brims with captivating slice-of-life narratives and scrumptious-looking anime was directed by Masaki Watanabe (Battle Spirits, Bakumatsu, KADO – The Right Answer), written by Yasuhiro Imagawa (Giant Robo the Animation) and produced by Palm Studios. Based on the best-selling Japanese manga series by Araki Joh and illustrated by Kenji Nagatomo, BARTENDER was adapted into an anime series in 2006 and a live-action Japanese television drama in 2011. The announcement was made today by Melissa Boag, Senior Vice President of Family Entertainment at Shout! Factory, and Andrew Partridge, Founder and CEO of Anime Limited.

This multi-year distribution alliance provides Shout! Factory with distribution rights to BARTENDER, including digital, video-on-demand, broadcast, and home entertainment for cross-platform releases in the U.S. and Canada. Shout! Factory, in collaboration with Anime Limited, plans to bring this coveted anime series to the entertainment marketplace early 2021, with a set release plan for a special 15th Anniversary multi-disc Collector's Edition Blu-ray™ set and a digital launch across major entertainment platforms.

“We've been enjoying our on-going collaboration and couldn't be more excited about this new opportunity with Anime Limited. This truly unique and highly entertaining anime series is a very exciting addition to our anime library. We look forward to bringing BARTENDER Collector's Edition to fans and collectors in North America.”

“We're excited to once again be working with Shout! Factory to distribute another one of our great home video releases in North America. BARTENDER is a special title and we're thrilled to bring our Collector's Edition to fans in the US and Canada – an edition that shows a lot of love to a hidden gem of a series.”


EDIT: https://blog.alltheanime.com/bartender-blu-ray

USA RELEASE INFORMATION

This same Collector’s Edition Blu-ray set will be getting released in the USA trade wide, with distribution being handled by our partners Shout Factory.

The release date in the USA for this is 19th January 2021.
