Title announcement: A Letter to Momo Coming to UK Cinemas in 2013

Anime Limited is very excited to announce the upcoming UK theatrical release of the acclaimed anime film A Letter to Momo.

A Letter to Momo follows the adventures of Momo, an 11 year old girl whose entire world has been rocked by the untimely death of her father. Forced to leave her life in Tokyo and move to the small island of her mother's childhood, Momo is haunted by a letter her father wrote to her - a letter containing only two words: Dear Momo. Soon after her arrival on the island, mysterious goings-on begin to torment the residents and Momo decides to uncover the truth behind them once and for all.

A beautiful animated feature film directed by Hiroyuki Okiura (of Jin-Roh: Wolf Brigade fame), A Letter to Momo is a magical, emotional and wonderful story.  Anime Limited is very excited to bring A Letter to Momo to theatres around the country.

A Letter to Momo will be in cinemas from Winter 2013.

Kenji Kamiyama Speaks to Reporters, Discusses 009 RE:CYBORG

With the release of 009 RE:CYBORG this week, director Kenji Kamiyama (dir Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) has been making the rounds in the UK press discussing his history, success in the anime industry and his experiences making this film. As you can imagine, the technical and visual feats conquered with 009 RE:CYBORG are hugely impressive - it's definitely one thing that unites the reviewers. Creating a classic anime film in 3D CGI to look like 2D cel animation is quite the accomplishment and does make for interesting discussions on the potential of similar action-based anime, such as 009, in the future. What is interesting about this accomplishment is the wealth of  talent, the pedigree of the production team and the gamble taken by Production I.G in making the film 3D.

We've rounded up the various interviews with Kamiyama-san discussing 009 RE:CYBORG from the wild, crazy badlands of mediadom to save you scouring through the oftentimes frightening and foreboding wastelands of the internet. They make for very interesting reads.

Cowboy Bebop competition

This summer sees the re-release of Cowboy Bebop in glorious digitally remastered Blu-ray and DVD! With all the excitement around the launch of Part 1 at the end of July, we thought it’d be fun to provide an outlet for the anticipation. Enter the Cowboy Bebop Vine competition (creative title eh?).

We’re running a wee competition for all you Cowboys out there - the rules are pretty simple and it involves the use of free technology; easy! If you take part you’re in with a chance to win a pair of Play Arts Spike and Vicious action figures! So, what is the competition?

The competition:
We want you, the fans, to recreate your favourite scene or favourite episode from the entire Cowboy Bebop series using the micro-video app Vine (you can download it for free on itunes and at Google Play for Android - hat tip to Gavin for pointing it out -Ed). Vine allows you to create 6 second videos, so you have 6 seconds to get your scene or episode across. You can do this any way you’d like - for example, you could use puppets, draw characters and stick them on straws, stop motion with toys, pets, your friends whatever works for you. Be creative and think different.

All approved clips will be embedded onto the competition page on All the Anime’s site and will be shared on Facebook and Twitter. So, what are the rules?

The rules:

  • The clip must refer to a scene or episode from the existing 26 episodes of the Cowboy Bebop tv series. No Cowboy Bebop movie references please!
  • Entries must be submitted via Vine - no scenes animated on computers or elsewhere and uploaded please. The link to the Vine video must be Tweeted or shared on our Facebook page (twitter.com/alltheanime and facebook.com/animelimited)
  • We will embed all approved clips onto our own website and share them over Twitter and Facebook
  • All entries must be above board and legal. For example, let’s not have real life recreations of the Mushroom Samba episode. You know what I’m talking about
  • Entries will be subject to moderation and are at the mercy of the All the Anime team
  • The judges’ decision is final and there will be no cash or alternative prizes available
  • We reserve the right to exclude any entry for any reason at all
  • Employees of Anime Limited and their dependents and employees and dependents of its commercial partners may not enter the competition

 

For inspiration, check out 5 Second Films on YouTube . You'd be amazed at what you can get across in 6 seconds!

You’ve got 2 weeks to submit your entry - so from today 03, June 2013 until midnight BST 16, June 2013. Winners will be announced the week following the last day for entries.

A special thanks to Square Enix for supplying the gorgeous Spike and Vicious figures!

Good luck and get submitting!

Meet the Anime Limited Team

Well, that's MCM London done for May and it was an utter blast! We had such a great time over the course of the weekend and met some incredible people and some old friends. We even made a whole bunch of new friends too - so we figured it was about time we properly introduced the team here at Anime Limited. These are the guys and gals that work hard to  make sure you get the anime you want to see, be it theatrical releases or home video. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, the Anime Limited team!

 

Andrew

anthony

Those of you who've been on the scene long enough will instantly recognise Andrew Partridge. He is El Presidente of Anime Limited and responsible for getting you all those titles and films you love so much. He is also a ridiculous ball of energy.

 

Tom

john

If you've been to the most recent MCM Expo, you may recognise Tom from our booth there. He is junior production manager and a wonderful animator. He designed and animated our title card. He's not as grumpy as he likes to portray himself.

 

Kat

cath

This is Kat. You will also recognise her from MCM Expo as she was working hard on our booth. Kat's a sickly talented graphic artist and also studied animation. She is responsible for all our pretty graphics on the booth and elsewhere. If you were lucky enough to snag one of the limited edition Cowboy Bebop prints, that's an example of her handiwork.

 

Kerry

karen

I'm the most recent to join the gang here at Anime Limited. I'm responsible for the marketing, PR and other such shenanigans. Bill Hicks once told all marketers to kill themselves, but I'm not so bad. Honest.

 

And there you have it. Team Anime Limited. I'm sure you'll be getting used to us as we'll be at a lot of the expos, cons, and festivals. See you guys around.

The Anime Limited Booth at MCM

Anime Limited's first jaunt to MCM Comic Con London is off to a great start with a brilliant schedule of events and the gorgeous designs for our booth all done and ready to go. This time around we won't have any of our own stock on sale at our booth, mostly due to the fact that our first run of stock will be Part 1 of Cowboy Bebop Collector's Edition out on Blu-ray in July, so we're a couple months off. However, we will be helping out our friends at Kaze and 101 Anime by selling their stock at our booth! Titles will include the latest parts of your favourite shows so don't miss your chance to catch up.

I can also confirm that we will be able to accept debit and credit cards on the booth! This, I'm sure, will be a welcome relief for a lot of you out there so now you really have no excuse for not going nuts, buying up all the stuff at the booth, right? So what can you get?

Kaze

Kaze's got some pretty sweet titles up for grabs including:

Newest works 

  • Bleach Complete Series 10  (£25)
  • Street Fighter 2: The Movie  (£15)
  • Penguin Drum Complete Series Collect  (£20)
  • Tiger & Bunny Part 2 Double Play  (£25)
  • Nura - Rise of the Yokai Clan Season  (£20)
  • Persona 4: The Animation Box 2  (£20)

  • Journey to Agartha (Collector's Edition and DVD)  (£20 and £10 respectively)

101 Anime

So mosey on down to Booth #1003 for a chat and to get your hands on some of the titles listed above.

See you all there.
