April 21st, 2008: A Very Fashionable T-Shirt
|
To celebrate the upcoming release of Yawara - a fashionable judo girl, we've
created a special Yawara T-Shirt, featuring calligraphy by local expert Mitsuyo Ito.
The character, “yawara”, is the first kanji in Judo.
To emphasize the flexible nature of yawara, it appears tilted on the t-shirt.
These high-quality shirts are available for a mere $9.98, or you can get one free
with any order of $100.00 or more. And note that if you buy a t-shirt, you can get free USPS shipping,
and we'll be able to add in a free copy of the Yawara Preview DVD!
Also, we have a limited number of shirts that feature the kanji on the back instead of the front. If you'd prefer one of these,
simply say so in the comments field of your order.

April 18th, 2008: The Return of the Ninja
ISHIKAWA Goemon (ICHIKAWA Raizo) is back, and he's out to get the evil ODA Nobunaga (WAKAYAMA Tomisaburo) in Shinobi no Mono 2 - Vengeance. This DVD also has a special commentary track featuring film scholar Ric Meyers! Now available on the website!
April 3rd, 2008: The Hell of Shipping Box Sets
Several people have inquired as to why we do preorders the way we do. Well, obviously it furthers our Diabolical Plans for World Domination, but it also helps get the product shipped out as efficiently as possible. To give you some idea of what it is like, we've ressurected our page that documented the release of the Macross Box Set back in 2001, modestly entitled
“The Hell of Shipping Box Sets.”
April 2nd, 2008: Yawara Preorder Opens!
We're pleased to announce that the first season of Yawara! is now available for preorder! You can get the entire first season, 40 episodes in all, for a measly $124.98 + S&H,
and if we get enough preorders, we'll automatically reduce the price.
We expect to ship Yawara Season 1 sometime in the summer; the exact date depends on whether we hit any snags in our final review and authoring.
PS: To the fans who took our April Fool's announcement seriously and took our graphics guy Matt hostage, can we please have him back? We need him to do the packaging...

April 1st, 2008: AnimEigo Licenses 2,162 Ronin
The 47 Ronin (Chushingura) is the iconic Japanese samurai story, and has been made into countless movies and TV shows. Therefore, building on the solid sales success of “Kon Ichikawa's 47 Ronin,” we've decided to explore this story in all its facets by acquiring additional ronin - 2,162 of them to be precise! That's right; adding them to our current roster of 47 Ronin, we now have the rights to a grand total of 2,209 Ronin - 47 bands of 47 Ronin!
Today, AnimEigo begins an ambitious 5 year mission to release all our new Ronin into the US market - and you won't just see new Ronin movies and TV series, but also Ronin manga, anime, music, games (computer, board and collectible card), and yes, in a first from AnimEigo, porn -- “The 47 Pe... er, People”
As you can well imagine, such a huge project will be a major effort, one that will require all of our attention. Thus, we will have to delay the release of the first season of Yawara to the fall... of 2013. We know that this may disappoint some people, but trust us -- it's the right decision!
March 14th, 2008: If You Tell Everyone You're A Ninja, You're Not a Ninja!
|
What better way to follow up on our Samurai T-Shirt, especially now that we are releasing
the Shinobi no Mono series, than with
a shirt that celebrates Ninjas -- though Robert thinks that these really should be black
shirts with black printing on them, because real Ninjas are invisible! So if you really are a Ninja, we suggest you wear this shirt under another shirt, which will let you safely walk around chuckling to yourself such time-honored phrases as “The fools! They suspect nothing!”
These high-quality shirts are available for a mere $9.98, or you can get one free
with any order of $100.00 or more. Click here to order.

March 12th, 2008: Spend a Wakeful Night Laughing Yourself To Death!
We just received a shipment of Wakeful Nights, an outrageous comedy set in the world of Rakugo -- Japanese comic storytelling. Trust us, this is a must-see film that's so funny, we recommend special precautions be taken while watching it to prevent laughter-induced injuries.
It's really hard to describe this film except to say that it's funny... really, really funny. Also, the jokes, stories and songs are twisted... really, really, really twisted! It took us twice as long as usual to translate and subtitle this film, in part because of all the puns, but mostly because we spent a lot of the time either on the floor convulsively laughing, or cleaning spit-takes off our monitor screens!
But don't take our word for it -- watch the trailer in either
Quicktime or
Windows Media.
February 22nd, 2008: Yawara Progress Report
We know a lot of people are waiting patiently for us to release the
first season of Yawara so we thought we'd give you a progress report.
We have completed our first pass on the subtitling and dialogue editing, but Yawara is a title that is so dear to our hearts that we are doing a second review, concentrating on making sure we've got all the Judo terminology correct
and standardizing our use of terms.
Fierce battles are being fought at the office over such weighty issues as whether Yawara belongs to a Judo Team or a Judo Club, whether she's a Judo athelete or a Judoka, and whether she's Japan's Best or Japan's #1, not to mention when sensei are sensei and when they are masters.
We're even consulting with US Judoka (or is that Judo athletes?) in order to make sure that our translation matches with US Judo usage.
The end result is that, to paraphrase Master Jigoro (or is that Jigoro-sensei?), “The Road of DVD Production Cannot Be Walked in a Single Day.” So please be patient with us!
Yawara should be in authoring in late spring and in your hot little hands in early summer. We'll officially open the preorder when it goes into authoring. You can sign up to be alerted when that happens using the form
on our Yawara Preview page.
January 30th, 2008: The Family that Slays Together, Stays Together!
The Lone Wolf and his Cub are back and the body count keeps rising in Shogun Assassin IV - Five Fistfuls of Gold. This time around, our heroes must collect their fee on the installment plan by killing 5 master swordsman, each one of which has 1/5 of the money and 1/5 of the details!
December 17th, 2007: We end the year with a Big Bang!
Controversial director Takashi Miike is back with what he proudly proclaims is his masterpiece -- Big Bang Love, Juvenile A. A profound meditation on the true meaning of love, it's unlike just about any movie we've ever seen. We're not quite sure what the critics mean when they call it “a hard-edged ontological essay” or “an overtly homoerotic, Brechtian prison drama”, but we do know that we had to watch it a dozen times while doing the production work, and each time we came away with a different perspective on it!
December 10th, 2007: Ho Ho Ho, On Vacation We Go!
The AnimEigo office will be closed from 12/22/07 through 01/01/08. Orders received on Friday, December 21st will be processed if time permits, but orders after that will not be shipped until Tuesday, January 2nd. So if you want something in time for Nondenominational Gift-Getting Season, please order it now!
November 1st, 2007: Take the AnimEigo Slayride
The infamous Mikogami Trilogy is now available as a box set, and we've also reduced the price of the individual films, so that you can handle your holiday vengeance needs on a budget!
October 19th, 2007: The Last Line of Defense
Acclaimed director Kihachi Okamoto brings his unique vision to one of
the most tragic battles of the Pacific war in his heroic, and often blackly comedic Battle of Okinawa. With the war all but lost, 77,000 Imperial troops are ordered to defend to the death the Okinawan islands against an invading Allied force almost three times their size -- and half a million civilians are caught between them with nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide.
September 18th, 2007: Ninjas invade AnimEigo
ISHIKAWA Goemon (ICHIKAWA Raizo), a talented young ninja, becomes ensnared in a twisted scheme to
assassinate ODA Nobunaga, an evil warlord bent on ruling feudal Japan with an iron fist. Deceit,
treachery, and entire gangs of enemy ninja lurk around every corner as Goemon travels the countryside
to complete his task, win back his honor, and save his skin!
These terrific Ninja DVDs just suddenly appeared in our office (we never noticed them arrive!) and we expect they'll disappear very quickly!
So get yours now!
September 11th, 2007: AnimEigo Is Looking For A Few Good Translators!
AnimEigo is searching for several highly-skilled J-E translators who can deal with difficult dialogue (such as in our WWII and Samurai films) and produce good, clear, literal translations. An extremely high level of Japanese spoken and written comprehension, not to mention good English writing skills, are required.
Think you've got what it takes? Then email natsumi@animeigo.com with subject "AnimEigo/Translator". But beware, very few have taken her tests and survived to tell the tale (in good Japanese!)
September 2nd, 2007: AnimEigo Fall 2007 / 2008 Release Schedule
Shinobi no Mono (10/2007) This is the film which launched the first Ninja boom in Japan after WWII, and stars Raizo Ichikawa, one of the biggtest film stars in Japan film history. The producers enlisted the aid of the last “living Ninja master” as a consultant, so this film contains realistic Ninja techniques, details of Ninja society and the secrets of Ninja houses. A must-see film for real Ninja fans.
Battle of Okinawa (11/2007) In March 1945, the bloodiest battle of the Pacific War took place. Acclaimed director Kihachi Okamoto and an all-star cast and crew spared no effort to depict this massive battle from a variety of perspectives, mixing the horrors of war with black comedy. As with Okamoto's “Japan's Longest Day”, this is a must-see WWII film.
The Mikogami Trilogy Box Set (12/2007) The wait is over, now these three bloody Yakuza action films will finally be available in a cool box set.
2008 Tentative schedule (One per month, Jan-Nov/2008)
Big Bang Love, Juvenile A (2006) The hottest Japanese Cult film Director, Takashi Miike, calls this film his “masterpiece!”. A hit at numerous festivals including the Berlin International Film Festival and the NY Asian Film Festival.
A Hardest Night!! (2006) A classy and refined Japanese comedy set in the world of Rakugo (Japanese Comic Storytelling) -- or at least, it would be if it weren't full of the raunchiest jokes you've ever heard or seen. You'll never look at a Manta Ray the same way again, and you won't believe the Geisha Sex Song Contest.
Shinobi no mono 2
Shogun Assassin 4
The Wolves
Revenge of Kabuki Actor (1963) (Yukinojyo Henge, An Actor's Revenge) Don't say you've seen enough beautiful Kon Ichikawa art films UNTIL you see this one. His unique camera/lighting work, dreamy Kimono beauties, and the usual all-star cast make this another must-see film for fans of the Master Director.
Shinobi no mono 3
Father of the Kamikaze (1974) (Aa Kessen Koukutai) This is the story of Admiral Onishi, known as the father of the Kamikaze missions -- and who, despite helping to plan the attack on Pearl Harbor, thought it was a mistake.
Shogun Assassin 5
The Ballad of Narayama (1983) (Narayama Bushiko) Winner of the Palm d'Or, Cannes Film Festival 1983; 8 other awards and 9 nominations. Directed by Shohei Imamura, 2-time Palm d'Or winner (Kurosawa won only once).
Shinobi no mono 4
And of course, sometime in the spring, we'll release Yawara! Season One!
August 17th, 2007: Death has never been so pretty!
The #1 complaint we've gotten about Shogun Assassin (the dubbed version of Lone Wolf & Cub) is that there's only two movies! Well, we listened to you, and have commissioned dubs of the final 3 LW&C films, to be released as Shogun Assassin 3, 4 and 5.
In Shogun Assassin III - Slashing Blades of Carnage, the Lone Wolf must track down a deadly (and usually naked, or at least, clothed only in full-body tattoos!) female assassin, while dealing with hordes of Yagyu assassins, and all the while honing his parenting skills!
If you've been getting that “Gee, I need some more blood and carnage” feeling, then check out Shogun Assassin III - Slashing Blades of Carnage! Now available!
August 9th, 2007: FREE Yawara Preview discs available on the website!
We're happy to announce that the FREE Yawara Preview discs that lucky Comic Con attendees found out about are now available! These discs contain not just excerpts, not just 1 episode, not even two, but the first 4 episodes of the series! And because so many people at Comic Con were begging, nay, grovelling for extra copies, we've decided you can order up to 3 discs at a time (one for you, two more for family and friends).
Basically, the deal is this: if you order anything from us, you can add the preview disc(s) to your order at no additional charge; if all you want is the preview disc(s), there's a $5.00 S&H charge (we're crazy, but not insane).
For more information, an introduction to this wonderful series, and the all-important order button, check out our Yawara Preview Page!
July 31st, 2007: Back from vacation, and into the Graveyard of Yawara!
We're back from our “vacation” in San Diego, and waiting for us at the office were the first copies of
Takashi Miike's Graveyard of Honor. Check it out, it's a must for all Miike fans, though we do recommend you not emulate Rikuo's seduction technique...
Those of you who dropped by our booth at Comic Con know that we had a little surprise - free DVDs containing the first four episodes of Yawara! We've had them made up to whet your appetite for our release of the first 40 episodes of the series, which, if you stop interrupting us to ask "Is it done yet?" might get finished in time for XMAS! We also thought that you might like to see how we're handling some of the subtitling choices (like Judo terminology) and get your feedback.
In a few days we will be putting up a page on the website that will let everyone get free Yawara! discs ($5 S&H if ordered alone, free if ordered with something else). You'll even be able to order extras for friends, if you ask nicely and Natsumi is in a good mood that day...
July 20th, 2007: AnimEigo goes on vacation!
The AnimEigo offices will be closed from July 20th through August 1st as we head off on our Annual Pilgrimage to San Diego for Comic Con. As a punish... er, reward for their hard work over the last year, the entire staff is getting an all-expenses-paid vacation in return for working a mere 12 hours a day in our booth!
Any website orders received after July 19th will not be processed until we return.
Fans of our Anime may be very interesting in a certain little something they might be able to pick up at our booth... but in order to find out what it is, you'll have to drop by...
June 29th, 2007: 47 Reasons to indulge your Samurai habit
Ken TAKAKURA leads an all-star cast in Master Direction Kon ICHIKAWA's stunning adaptation of the 47 Ronin, the classic Samurai tale of honor and vengeance! And yes, we counted, all 47 of the Ronin are in the film! Now available!
May 24th, 2007: AnimEigo Invaded by Demons
Kabuki idol Somegoro Ichikawa and the beautiful Rie Miyazawa headline a swashbuckling tale of love, betrayal, and the demonic destruction of Edo in Ashura. At only $21.23, we expect our limited supply of advance copies (and thus, the office demon infestation) will soon be exhausted.
This two disc set is packed with extra features, not to mention a magnificent english-language dub by our favorite voice director, Scott Houle. And not only that, it's dubbed in 5.1 surround!
April 12th, 2007: Mifune loses his head!
Toshiro Mifune leads an all-star cast in Shinsengumi, the classic tale of the end of the Shogunate.
And to celebrate Mifune losing his head, we're losing ours as well, and dropping the price on one of our favorite Mifune classics, Samurai Banners, to only $10.00 (limited time only!)
March 9th, 2007: There's a new sheriff in town!
Dora-Heita, the twisted tale of a seeming degenerate assigned to clean up Japan's dirtiest town, is now available! Directed by Kon Ichikawa from a script by Kon Ichikawa, Masaki Kobayashi, Keisuke Kinoshita, and Akira Kurosawa, and starring Koji Yakusho (Shall We Dance, The Eel)
March 1st, 2007: AnimEigo on MySpace
In a pathetic attempt to appear cooler than we really are, and attract new and presumably hipper fans, AnimEigo now has a MySpace page.
Of course, these alleged new customers will be way too hip to check out this, our normal homepage, so they'll never find out about it.
Rumors that this is just an attempt by the staff to get more MySpace friends are probably entirely justified!
February 15th, 2007: Arcadia of My Youth to go out of print
One of our favorite titles, Arcadia of My Youth, will be going out of print this summer. Get your copy now for a mere $7.95, while supplies last.
February 6th, 2007: The Romance Epidemic Continues!
The greatest team in the history of mass slaughter, Ogami Itto the Lone Wolf, and Daigoro, the boy with the deadly baby cart, are back, and the body count is rising rapidly! Just in time for Valentine's Day, Shogun Assassin II - Lighting Swords of Death, is fresh from the replicators. And just like the original Shogun Assassin, we've completely reconstructed this dubbed version using our nifty new digital transfers!
|
|
| 5 New Licenses! Not to mention some Anime too! |
[Top] |
We're please to announce 5 new licenses, all coming out in 2007!
Dora-heita: Koheita Mochizuki (Koji Yakusho of Shall We Dance, The Eel), has such a bad reputation that he's earned the nickname
Dora-Heita, or "alley cat" (meaning "playboy"). So it's a real shock when he's named magistrate of the most disreputable town in all of Japan! But his rep is just a clever cover which he uses to set about cleaning up the town, resulting in everyone, even the young samurai hotheads who ought to be supporting him, wanting to see him dead, if for very different reasons. And the appearance of an old mistress doesn't make his life any less complicated. Directed by Kon Ichikawa from a script by Kon Ichikawa, Masaki Kobayashi, Keisuke Kinoshita, and Akira Kurosawa!
We continue with another of the Kon-artist's great films,
Kon Ichikawa's 47 Ronin, starring Ken Takakura (4-time Japanese Academy Award winner) with an all star cast. The 47 Ronin is one of the classic Japanese stories, and has been remade and reinterpreted many times. This version adds new dimensions to narrative, as it focuses on what went on behind the scenes leading up to the famous attack of the ronin.
Shinsengumi (aka "Band of Assassins") is another top-notch Toshiro Mifune film. In this historical drama set during the time of the Meiji Restoration, he stars as Isami Kondo, an idealistic warrior who organizes a paramilitary group that supports the Shogun in his battle against the Emperor. But when the Imperial side wins, the Shinsengumi are declared outlaws...
The Wolves: Tatsuya Nakadai (Ran,Portrait of Hell) stars as a Yakuza who gets out of jail only to find that his gang has been crippled and absorbed by another gang -- the one whose boss he killed! Directed by Hideo Gosha.
And finally, we end with another Kihachi Okamoto masterpiece, the
Battle of Okinawa, which also stars Tatsuya Nakadai.
The war is lost, but the Japanese military decides to make a last stand before retreating to the homeland. If they can make the cost of capturing Okinawa too high, then perhaps the Americans will think twice about invading Japan. To this end, the orders given to the soldiers and the civilians are quite simple: fight until everyone is dead!
|
Once again, we risk our sanity for our loyal
fans, by taking on the brain-destroying task of releasing another classic TV series!
More details coming soon. There will be an extremely fashionable preorder.
Let the rejoicing begin! And yes, slerch666, you've won a free set as the
Grand Prize Winner in the
Most Outrageously Stupid Yet Possibly Believable AnimEigo License Rumor Contest.
Big Yawara News Coming Soon! Stay Tuned!

You are commanded to click here for more details and to order, worms!
October 10th, 2006: Honorable Graveyards
We are pleased to announce that in 2007, we'll be releasing acclaimed director Takashi Miike's “Graveyard of Honor”. A fearless dishwasher saves the life of a Yakuza boss and rises to power quickly, but misunderstandings and drug-fueled paranoia inevitably result in murder and mayhem!
October 1st, 2006: U Know U Want UY
As part of the company health plan, Natsumi has decreed that everyone at the office needs to get more exercise! And there's no better exercise than jogging around the warehouse, collecting DVDs, and putting them into boxes to send out to you! Individual DVDs only $9.98, and great deals on the box sets!
Don't delay - as soon as a staff member can do 50 pushups, they're declared fit, and sent back to the subtitling salt mines!

The AnimEigo warehouse is once again blood-splattered! The 1st installment of the
famed "Mikogami" trilogy - The Trail of Blood has arrived!
Be the first to get this legendary action-packed, excessively bloody samurai Yakuza film - we
need to pay for some serious cleaning before those pesky forensics guys show up and start
asking annoying questions!

Toshiro Mifune Collection Box Set, containing
5 of his best Samurai films!
June 14th, 2006: Kimagure Orange Road going out of print
We are saddened to announce that our license to Kimagure Orange Road will soon expire, and
so the title will be going out of print. The TV series license expires at the end of July, and the Movie/OVA
license expires in the middle of August. If you want to get this title, you should order
it as soon as possible using the “Summer of Savings” - we expect that our
stock of many of the DVDs will be exhausted before the title goes out of print.
May 26th, 2006: Let the bloodletting begin!
The most legendary (and most bootlegged) samurai film of all time is now available
in a new, completely reconstructed, widescreen edition so good, you can tell what
blood type the Ninjas have!
That's right... Shogun Assassin!
(Now maybe we'll stop getting death threats from B.B.'s mom!)
Check out what we did or
watch the trailer (Quicktime 7 required).
We have a few advance copies we're making available now; it'll be available everywhere July 11th!
PS: If you bought one of the crappy bootleg versions (for shame! for shame!),
you can Apply for Amnesty and get a
legit copy for a mere $10. But do it quickly, our capacity for mercy is limited!
January 26th, 2006: Announcing 6 new licenses!
Shogun Assassin: The most famous samurai
film in North America and probably most bootlegged one! You've
begged us to do it for years, and we're giving it the full AnimEigo
treatment - we're restoring it using our brilliant transfers of
the original component films (Lone Wolf & Cub 1&2). We're literally
going to replace every frame in Shogun Assassin with the exact same
frames from the original films!
That sound you hear is the sound of everyone who bought the
crappy bootleg editions weeping, with an overlay of gnashing of teeth
from the scummy bootleggers!
Japan's Longest Day aka The Emperor and The General (1967):
The best-known Japanese World War II film, it is set on August 15th,
1945, the day the Emperor announced Japan's surrender.
Directed by Kihachi Okamoto (Samurai Assassin) and starring
the legendary Toshiro Mifune, who plays the General, and does
something you never see Mifune doing -- he commits seppuku!
A New Love in Tokyo (1994): A unique, award-winning
art film that's funny, edgy, and sexy, it's the
story of a free-spirited dominatrix, who is at the same
time a serious amateur actress trying to build real
relationships with both her acting and sex-business
acquaintances. When you need a big audience for your new play,
it's always good to have a Yakuza boss as your whipping boy!
The Trail of Blood (1972), The Fearless Avenger (1973), and
Slaughter in the Snow (1973):
3 action-packed, excessively bloody samurai Yakuza films (in other words,
the kind you tell us you like the best!), the famed
"Mikogami" series is the
story of a man who tried to leave the Yakuza world, only to
have his family slaughtered -- which means
there's 3 films worth of villains to hunt down and dispatch!
More announcements in the near future!

finest in Japanese Animation, properly translated, and lovingly subtitled and
dubbed in English for the benefit of fans and the Japanese-language impaired.
More than any other company in the business, we have released a broad cross
spectrum of Anime, from gentle love stories through science fiction to subtle
gothic horror. In recent years, we have also been inflicting our peculiar

people wouldn't do this kind of thing), you'll find lots of interesting stuff
on this site. Enjoy it - or our special team of Ninja Entertainment Consultants
