All feedback welcome. =========================================================================== Manga Entertainment News ======================== The first of Manga Entertainment's releases for 2001 have been scheduled, with Amon Saga and the much anticipated Street Fighter Alpha due for release on 19th March. Amon Saga is an 80-minute fantasy film with designs by Yoshitaka Amano. It has nothing to do with the recent Devilman series that coincidently also had 'Amon' in the title. Street Fighter Alpha is based on the Capcom video games of the same name. It will be the first ever UK anime release to come out on VHS and DVD at the same time.
