Bandai Announcements

Bandai had some exciting new announcements at this year's New York Anime Festival. Here's the rundown:

Akira - The hit anime film Akira will be released on Blu-Ray, by Bandai. The dub track used will be the most recently used one.
Gurren Lagann - Bandai will be releasing the manga for the hit sci-fi/mecha anime series, Gurren Lagann. Currently there are two volumes of the manga available in Japan.
Sola & True Tears - Sola and True Tears will be released in box sets under Bandai's Anime Legends label.

Bandai also did a re-cap of older announcements, which included:

Lucky Star - Will continue to be released in Limited & Standard Editions. Limited Edition boxes come with a shirt and a character CD.
Rocket Girls - A sci-fi series about a girl who blasts off into space in search of her father. Will be released Sub-Only.
Hayate the Combat Butler - The hilarious parody anime series about a boy who finds himself working as a butler for a wealthy girl living in a huge mansion to pay off a debt owed to her. This anime makes fun of just about every other anime out there, and then some!
Gundam 00 - Will be released by Bandai, coming soon.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - A very popular anime film about Makoto, a high-school girl who discovers the secrets of rewriting the past through time travel, but fails to realize the consequences. This may sound like a typical time-travel story, but it's not. The events that unfold create a very dramatic and beautiful experience. Don't pass this one up.
Code Geass R2 -Will be aired on Adult Swim starting this October.

Just a heads up to everyone since there was some confusion at the meeting. There will be no meeting next tuesday, September 30.
