Sentai Filmworks has acquired two new anime titles for home media:
HOUSTON, TX — April 15, 2021 — Sentai announced today that it acquired distribution rights to Seitokai Yakuindomo 2 The Movie, the second side-splitting film in the Seitokai Yakuindomo anime universe, for audiences in USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain and Portugal. Sentai adds the latest film to the franchise lineup that includes the first two seasons and first movie in the Seitokai Yakuindomo series.
The cast of Seitokai Yakuindomo is back and ready to quip! In this companion film that follows season 2 of the zany, irreverent Seitokai Yakuindomo anime series, the Ousai Private Academy student council must again grapple with a mix of double-entendres and doubly potent teen hormones as they integrate boys into a previously all-girls school.
Animated by Studio GoHands (Seitokai Yakuindomo, Hand Shakers, Princess Lover), the film was directed by Hiromitsu Kanazawa (W’z, K, Coppelion), who also penned the screenplay. Makoto Furuta (Azumanga Daioh) provides the film’s character design. The movie stars Yoko Hikasa (No Game, No Life, Domestic Girlfriend, 7SEEDS) as Shino Amakusa, Sayuri Yahagi (To LOVE Ru, Senryu Girl, Karin) as Suzu Hagimura, Shintaro Asanuma (Chivalry of a Failed Knight, Tsurune, Cutie Honey Universe) as Tsuda Takatoshi and Satomi Sato (Is the Order a Rabbit?, K-ON!, Hyouka) as Aria Shichijo.
Seitokai Yakuindomo 2 The Movie will be released on home video and streamed on select digital outlets.
HOUSTON, TX — April 13, 2021 — Sentai announced today that it acquired distribution rights to Earl & Fairy (Hakushaku to Yousei), based upon the light novel series of the same name by Mizue Tani, for audiences in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Latin America, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Nordic, Scandinavia.
Lydia Carlton possesses the rare ability to interact and communicate with fairies, supernatural creatures invisible to most humans. Few believe her stories about her occupation as a doctor to these strange beings, but the mysterious and handsome Edgar is in need of her particular expertise. Edgar seeks to become the Blue Knight Earl, or the human ruler of the fairy realm, and he will need Lydia’s help to navigate the deceptively complex world of the fairies and claim the crown he craves.
Earl & Fairy is a production of Artland Studios (Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Bokura ga Ita). It is directed by Koichiro Sotome (episode director Mushishi, Kimi ni Todoke, Bokura ga Ita) with character design from Maki Fuji (Destiny of the Shrine Maiden, Blade Dance of the Elementalers, I’ve Always Liked You).
The series stars Nana Mizuki (Princess Tutu, Dororo, ItaKiss) as Lydia Carlton, Hikaru Midorikawa (Diabolik Lovers, Fushigi Yuugi, Shaman King) as Edgar J. C. Ashenbert, Tomokazu Sugita (Tada Never Falls in Love, ClassicaLoid, Gintama) as Raven, and Hiro Yuki (Revolutionary Girl Utena, Witch Hunter Robin, Dragon Ball Z) as Nico. Hikaru Midorikawa also performs the series’ theme song.
