The List
7 Movies That Need Licenses ASAP
by Lynzee Loveridge,
Access to the latest anime releases in Japan is at an all-time high. The convenience of streaming allows viewers access to a huge library of current and past shows with the click of a button. Whether someone wants to watch anime's first ever Defenders of The Vortex"). Even films tied to already released television series can get held up for years. Here's seven anime films still waiting for their day in the states.
Madhouse animated the picture which performed surprisingly well for a stand-alone movie.
Belladonna of Sadness. Hopefully it can get itself the same quality release treatment some day.
Studio Colorido, who up to this point, had animated some impressive shorts and commercials for Marukome Miso. The story is a combination of dealing with everyday problems, in this case protagonist Shūichi is in a rough patch with his best friend Kenta, and the supernatural when a mysterious girl from space brings a typhoon with her. The movie only runs about half an hour and shows great potential for an up-and-coming studio. I'd like the film to be brought over if only to Colorido's endeavors in the hopes that it could create longer, more fleshed out works in the future.
Thermae Romae while also instilling a positive message: two people from different spiritual backgrounds can have a great friendship.
Beyond the Boundary -I'LL BE HERE- Future. The listed films all add to conclusion presented in their respected shows. It's like we're missing the final episode!
fanservice particularly interesting. Looking past that though, the movie is a solid entry for fleshing out stoic Haruka and caring Makoto's friendship. The two are already best friends with the TV series starts, so for fans of the show this elaborates on how the two came to be as close as they are and building their trust between one another.
Netflix for one year exactly - it's gone now, and there's no sign of a DVD release on the horizon. Someone needs to change that!
