Sentai Scores Influential “Venus Wars” Anime Feature Film
HOUSTON, TX — November 10, 2020 — Sentai announced today that it acquired exclusive rights to Venus Wars, hailed by critics for its importance in forging Japanese anime’s popularity in the West. Sentai will distribute the film in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
When war breaks out between the Venusian nations of Ishtar and Aphrodia, hotheaded motorcyclist Hiro Seno and bubbly reporter Susan Sommers find themselves caught in the crossfire and trapped behind enemy lines. As Susan desperately broadcasts the realities of war to the masses, Hiro must put aside his aversion to warfare and fight not only for his life, but for the life of every last citizen of Venus.
Produced by Triangle Staff (Serial Experiments Lane), Venus Wars is directed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, the film’s original creator who also serves as the film’s scriptwriter and character designer. The film stars Katsuhide Uekusa as Hiro Seno, Eriko Hara (City Hunter 2) as Susan Sommers, Yuko Mizutani (Sorcerer Hunters) as Maggie and Koichi Yamadera (Cowboy Bebop) as Jeff.
Described as possessing “beautifully realised, dusty, earth-toned landscapes, filled with painstaking attention to detail and lavishly animated grace notes” and “among the best-looking anime films of the 1980s” by Anime UK News, Venus Wars will be available on home video with a digital release to follow.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sentai Bets on “Kaiji”
HOUSTON, TX — November 18, 2020 — Sentai announced today that it acquired Kaiji, the amusingly sinister, 52-episode survival series produced by Madhouse and based on the manga of the same name. Sentai previously licensed Kaiji spinoff series, Mr. Tonegawa - Middle Management Blues -. Sentai will distribute the series in the Unites States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Central America, South American, South Africa, Spain and Portugal.
Kaiji Ito has serious issues. Not only is he a social misfit, but he’s also a deadbeat petty gambler. After he gets duped into co-signing a loan for his friend, he’s stuck owing the Yakuza millions! Things start looking up when he’s given the opportunity to win his life back by gambling with other lucky participants on a mysterious casino ship, but he quickly realizes that more than just money is at stake. Soon Kaiji and the other contestants discover the depths of human depravity when there is nothing left to lose — except their lives.
Produced by VAP (Elfen Lied, MONSTER), Nippon Television Network (Parasyte -the maxim-, Run with the Wind) and Madhouse Studio (No Game No Life, DEATH NOTE), Kaiji is directed by Yuzo Sato (GOKUSEN, Bio Hunter) with series composition from Hideo Takayashiki (Maison Ikkoku, ONE OUTS). The series stars Masato Hagiwara (Mr. Tonegawa - Middle Management Blues -, The Place Promised in Our Early Days) as Kaiji Ito, Toshiharu Sakurai (Love Lab, The Heroic Legend of Arslan) as Mamoru Ando, and Naoya Uchida (Naruto Shippuden, VINLAND SAGA) as Yuji Endo.
The series will be available to stream on select digital outlets with a home video release to follow. The home video collection encompasses both seasons of the anime series, including all 26 episodes of Kaiji -Ultimate Survivor- and all 26 episodes of Kaiji -Against All Rules-.

I had a feeling Eleven Arts would license the two Sound! Euphonium films. I'm sure they will eventually get dubbed in English but I wonder if they will try to bring the two films to theaters first. I still have hope the TV series one day would get an affordable release.
