Official Anime Merchandise Available at MCM London. Tokyo Ghoul and much more!.
We'e literally under a week away from MCM London Comic Con and we have some more news to share with you about our activity during the event, this time specifically relating to what you'll be able to pick up when visiting our AllTheAnime stand (#1600 in the South Hall) across the weekend.
You may remember that back at MCM London last October we gave attendees the opportunity to purchase a selection officially licensed Your Name merchandise. We know a lot of you loved that so we've decided we'll be bringing more officially licensed merchandise to the event, but not just limited to that smash-hit film. Read on below for details
OFFICIALLY LICENSED ANIME MERCHANDISE AVAILABLE FROM ALL THE ANIME STAND (#1600) AT MCM LONDON COMIC CON
---- FRAMED POSTERS
They were a big hit back in October so we're bringing a selection of framed posters with us from a variety of titles! We have 4 designs in total and (while stock lasts) you'll be able to pick up one or more to then proudly display on your wall!
In celebration of the fact we have the creator of the franchise Full Metal Panic as the Anime Guest of Honour present over the weekend (read more about that HERE) we've got design from Full Metal Panic Invisible Victory!
Then we have two designs from another series currently airing series, that being Tokyo Ghoul:re.
And finally, ahead of our Blu-ray and DVD release in June we're happy to say we'll have a framed poster of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-!
Framed posters available exclusively from All The Anime stand at MCM London Comic Con - May 2018
All of these posters being available across the weekend (while stock lasts).
---- Tokyo Ghoul Merchandise
We know there are a lot of Tokyo Ghoul fans out there and we also know people are chomping at the bit for some official merchandise to sink their teeth into. So we're bringing three different t-shirt designs, and two different mug designs with us.
The three t-shirt designs feature the iconic mask of Kaneki, but with a variation on each one. Plus we know that while black t-shirts are really cool, occasionally you'd like a different colour to wear. So one of the designs is on a white shirt. Each of the t-shirts will be £20 each and are available in sizes Medium and Large while stock lasts.
And when it comes to the mug designs, one of them features Kaneki with a really cool red background to it, while the other features the famous mask design with the original Japanese logo for the series too! These will be available at £10 each (while stock lasts).

Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry
By Andrew Osmond.
Naughty anime transformation scenes… Good, that’s got your attention. If you saw Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry, you might have noticed a fine specimen of the type, when the cat character Carla takes human form. However, this clothes-changing fan service caused problems, as revealed by Dragon Cry director Tatsuma Mianamikawa and producer Yohei Ito when they guested at London’s MCM Comic Con. As well as holding a lively convention panel, they kindly answered some further questions from AllTheAnime… including more on naughty transformations.
[UNBOXING] Night is Short, Walk on Girl. Coming to Blu-ray and DVD from 25th June 2018.
We recently revealed our plans for the release of the film Night is Short, Walk on Girl that arrives on 25th June. Well today we're delighted to bring you a full unboxing of our Ltd Collector's Ed. Blu-ray+DVD set! Have a look below!
MCM London Comic Con attendees: Before getting to tell you about the product itself and whatnot, we're happy to confirm that the first opportunity to get your hands on this release will be next weekend at the MCM London Comic Con event (25-27th May 2018). We will have copies of this available to purchase (while stock lasts) from our stand, stall #1600 in the South Hall.
ABOUT "NIGHT IS SHORT, WALK ON GIRL"
Night is Short, Walk on Girl - Japanese promotional art
Let director Masaaki Yuasa (The Tatami Galaxy, Lu Over the Wall, MIND GAME) walk you through an eccentric, colourful journey of love, life and youthful exuberance unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Synopsis: “Senpai” is a man smitten with his inscrutable junior, The Girl with Black Hair. Although he plans to woo her by engineering a series of “coincidental” encounters, he reckons without the exploratory nature of this girl as she roams through an abstract, bustling night in Kyoto. From pub crawls to festivals, book fairs to impromptu musical performances, the night is short and there’s much to take in - how can “Senpai” possibly grab the attention of the apple of his eye?
Check out a trailer for the film below:
WHAT'S PLANNED FOR THE RELEASE?
We will be releasing the film on both Blu-ray and DVD. There will be a Ltd Collector's Ed. Blu-ray+DVD set, as well as standard Blu-ray and DVD versions available from 25th June 2018.
The Ltd Collector's Ed. Blu-ray+DVD set will come packed in a rigid case with a digipack to hold the Blu-ray and DVD discs. Also included is a 52-page art book that is divided into three sections; Characters, Settings and then in a change of pace we're including an essay written by Andrew Osmond (author of 100 Animated Feature Films). It works as a great companion to the film and is a great read whether you're familiar with the film, or perhaps other titles of Masaaki Yuasa's, or not.
If that wasn't enough, on the disc themselves you'll also get an interview with director Masaaki Yuasa and there's also some Japanese previews of the film too.
In case you're not aware, the film is in Japanese with English subtitles only. (No English language dub has been produced for this.) The audio option for watching the main feature is Japanese 5.1.

Lupin the 3rd: Part IV
By Andrew Osmond.
Some pop-culture heroes only live twice. Others survive through endless reboots, re-imaginings and re-brandings, until they’re barely recognisable if you knew the originals. Japan’s Lupin the Third is different. He’s been in anime nearly fifty years, and yet you could show the new Lupin TV series, being released by Anime Limited, to a Japanese person of pretty much any generation and get a nod of recognition. Lupin may change his jacket occasionally – in this series, it’s blue – and his voice may not sound quite the same. But otherwise he’s as unchanging as Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny, if Mickey and Bugs were career criminals, drove fast cars, and had an insatiable appetite for the ladies. Continue Reading
