Release News

The next Pioneer release will be episode 4 of 'Armitage III' on June 17th.

Kiseki have scheduled 'Rei Rei' for release on 22nd July, but this is BBFC
permitting, so don't count on it.

Due to a contractual hold-up, AD Vision have delayed the release of the Street
Fighter II TV series, which has been replaced by Princess Minerva in the July
releases. Despite promises, I have not received any press releases from AD
Vision, so I must apologise for my lack of coverage of their releases.
