Yuri Anime

Revolutionary Girl Utena is getting a theatrical release in the US! I first saw it on the big screen at the Japan Foundation in NYC. It’s worth seeing that way.

Manga Mogura on X offers up this trailer for the upcoming Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games anime.

Cho Kagura-hime is coming out on Blu-Ray in Japan, according to Sr. YNN Correspondent Matt Marcus. No news yet on an EN release.

The anime for Let Me Fix You is going forward with production, but without FAR, or ButaPro, after accusations of sexual harassment by FAR were made publicly, then retracted. Crystalynn Hodgkins has the detail on ANN.  The subtext of that situation is extremely loud. 

Merchandise News

Good Smile has a really nice The Rose of Versailles – POP UP PARADE Oscar François de Jarjayes Figure for pre-order. I don’t have they money right now, but I might end up getting it anyway. ^_^ It’s not *that* expensive….
