Trailer for Japanese Animated ‘Blade’ Series
Rumor has it that later this year G4TV will be airing the newest Japanese animated comic adaptation, Blade, the latest anime project from Madhouse that also includes Marvel’s X-Men, Wolverine and Iron Man.
Blade debuts in Japan this July with Animax launching a new website providing a look at the series’ cast of characters, along with the following short video teaser.
Mitsuyuki Masuhara directed from a script by Kenta Fukasuka (Battle Royale).
Comic Alliance also shares with us a few character images and plot details: “Shoddy online translations of the site’s Japanese text make it pretty clear that Blade will be teaming up with a young vampire hunter from Japan, plus Noah Van Helsing (of the Helsings!) and his awesome dog Razor against the evil Deacon Frost and his minions in Asia.”
One of contemporary horror’s best werewolf movies is 2017’s Good Manners, and it’s finally set to receive a proper physical media release.
Icarus Films is partnering with OCN Distribution to unleash a new Blu-ray that’s now available to preorder via Vinegar Syndrome. and with a limited edition slipcover.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
Good Manners is the second collaboration between filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, who write and direct. Zama’s Rui Poças‘ cinematography captures this unique werewolf tale described as “Disney meets Jacques Tourneur.”
Our own Trace Thurman wrote in his review, “With Good Manners, Rojas and Dutro have made one of the best werewolf movies ever made. That they are able juggle commentaries on racism and classism while still managing to tell two deeply affecting love stories is remarkable.”
