Manga to Release Summer Wars, Kamui in United Kingdom (Updated) - Anime News
The British anime distributor Manga Entertainment has announced on Tuesday that it will release the Summer Wars family anime film from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time director Mamoru Hosoda in September. Manga had previously announced (http://tinyurl.com/yc4e4re) on New Year's Day that it will release Yoichi Sai's live-action Kamui film adaptation of Sanpei Shirato's Kamui Gaiden ninja manga in the summer.
Both films will be released on DVD as well as on Blu-ray Disc.
The light-hearted "action entertainment" story of Summer Wars revolves around a modern-day family on a midsummer adventure. The project reunites many of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time's staffers, including scriptwriter Satoko Okudera (Angel, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Miyori no Mori) and character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, FLCL). The Summer Wars film opened in Japan on August 1, and the first five minutes of the film were posted on the YouTube website just before the film's opening. Manga had previously released The Girl Who Leapt Through Time in the United Kingdom.
