HIDIVE NABS “LUPIN THE 3RD PART 5”

HOUSTON, TX — February 13, 2020 — HIDIVE announced today that it acquired streaming rights to Lupin the 3rd Part 5 for audiences in the United States, Canada and Latin America. The series premieres on HIDIVE on Thursday, February 20, 2020 at 16:30 UTC.

A legendary thief deserves a legendary heist, and Lupin has set his sights on his biggest bounty yet: Marco Polo, a dark-web marketplace where drug dealers proliferate and there’s money for the taking. But just as Lupin swipes his latest fortune and tries to make off with the goods, his hideout is inexplicably surrounded by Zenigata and his forces thanks to a new game that’s gone viral on social media. It has a very specific, very unfortunate objective, and the name of the game is “Arrest Lupin III”!

Produced by TMS Entertainment (Dr. STONE), Lupin the 3rd Part 5 is directed by Yuichiro Yano (Moyasimon, Tales of Agriculture) with series composition by Ichiro Okouchi (Princess Principal). Go Zappa (Ahiru no Sora) produced the script. Seiyuus Kanichi Kurita (Lupin the 3rd) and Kiyoshi Kobayashi (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) return to voice Lupin III and Daisuke Jigen, respectively. They are joined by Inori Minase (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) as Ami Enan, Miyuki Sawashiro (High School of the Dead) as Fujiko Mine, Daisuke Namikawa (Gatchaman Crowds) as Goemon Ishikawa and Kouichi Yamadera (Cowboy Bebop) as Inspector Zenigata.

HIDIVE WILL BROADCAST “MEGALOBOX” IN LATIN AMERICA

HOUSTON, TX - 02/17/2020 - HIDIVE announced today that it acquired the rights to broadcast the sports anime and explosive science fiction MEGALOBOX, from TMS Entertainment (Baki, Dr. STONE, D.Gray-man), to broadcast it in America Latin The series will join the HIDIVE programs and will begin on February 24, 2020, 4:30 p.m. UTC. MEGALOBOX will be available in Japanese with Spanish and Portuguese subtitles.

Known only for his fighting nickname, “JNK.DOG” makes a living in illegal and fraudulent fighting by Megalobox, a sport that combines boxing with powerful mechanical exoskeletons, often deadly. Despite the lethality of the sport, he is bored of his luck in life until he almost runs over the current Megalobox champion, Yuri. Yuri easily defeats JNK.DOG in a fight, but challenges JNK.DOG to face him again in Megalonia, the official (and of course legal) league of Megalobox. Passion is revived and JNK.DOG, renamed “Joe,” must face opponents he had never seen before while climbing from the bottom to the top.

Created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the classic manga Ashita no Joe , MEGALOBOX is directed by Yo Moriyama (animation director of Master Keaton, Oh! Edo Rocket ) with musical composition of hip hop artist Mabanua. The protagonists of the series are Yoshimasa Hosoya ( Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? , Akame ga Kill! ) In the role of Joe and Hiroki Yasumoto ( GATE , Hozuki’s Coolheadedness ) as Yuri.

HIDIVE FEELS THE SPIRIT OF “WE RENT TSUKUMOGAMI”

HOUSTON, TX — February 17, 2020 — HIDIVE announced today that it has acquired streaming rights to We Rent Tsukumogami, from TMS Entertainment (Baki, Dr. STONE, D.Gray-man), for audiences in the United States, Canada and Latin American countries. The supernatural comedy series streams to HIDIVE subscribers beginning Monday, February 24, 2020 at 17:30 UTC.

In a place and time where disasters are commonplace, Oko and Seiji cater to local customers at Izumoya, their renowned rental shop for everyday items. Mixed with Izumoya’s regular inventory are tsukumogami, ancient spirits disguised as ordinary objects. Unlike most people, Oko and Seiji can see and listen to the spirits, and Izumoya becomes a hub of paranormal activity as numerous tsukumogami end up in the shop. And when Oko and Seiji spread the supernatural love by lending their “special” tsukumogami to unwitting customers, things get really interesting!

Produced by studio Telecom Animation Film (Orange, All Out!!, Chain Chronicle: The Light of Haecceitas), We Rent Tsukumogami is directed by Masahiko Murata (Serial Experiments Lain, Baby Steps, Corpse Princess: Kuro). The series stars Junya Enoki (Outburst Dreamer Boys, Beautiful Bones -Sakurako’s Investigation-, My Love Story!!) as Seiji and Mikako Komatsu (Land of the Lustrous, Gourmet Girl Graffiti, The “Hentai” Prince and the Stony Cat) as Oko.

TRY OUT THE “TRY KNIGHTS” SUB ON HIDIVE

Mark your calendars, sports fans! Because the sub for Try Knights takes the field on Friday, February 28, 2020 at 18:00 UTC!

Our fellow ruggers over at Sentai have this to say about the series:

“Riku Haruma used to love rugby — but when he grew up to be short and slender, he put his rugby ambitions aside in favor of his studies. Dreams have a way of resurfacing where you least expect them, however, and when he sees Akira Kariya on the rugby field, the sight of him running, jumping and giving the sport his all reignites a passion in Riku’s heart that’s long been dormant. His newfound passion drives him back onto the field and straight toward his dream of the Rugby World Cup, where he’ll use tactics and the power of his mind to outmaneuver his opponents and rise straight to the top of the pack!”

HOUSTON, TX — February 20, 2020 — HIDIVE announced today that it has acquired streaming rights to comedy anime Nagasarete Airantou, produced by feel., the studio behind My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, Outbreak Company and This Art Club Has a Problem!

After a terrible argument with his father, Ikuto makes a hasty, fateful decision to run away from home. Going from runaway to stowaway, Ikuto’s luck lands him on a ship heading right into the path of a huge storm! When it rains, it pours — or in Ikuto’s case, it pours so badly that he washes overboard and wakes up on a deserted island. Well, an almost deserted island. The island is populated by nothing but beautiful girls, all of whom want Ikuto to choose them as his bride. It’s a knock-down, drag-out fight for Ikuto’s heart in the tropical paradise, Nagasarete Airantou!

Nagasarete Airantou is directed by Hideki Okamoto (Mysteria Friends, Battle Girls: Time Paradox) with scriptwriting and series composition from Mamiko Ikeda (Princess Tutu, Fruits Basket).

Our fellow cave raiders over at Sentai have this to say about the movies:

MADE IN ABYSS: Journey’s Dawn
The enigmatic Abyss is an unforgiving and deadly place. Despite the dangers, it still captures the imagination of explorers such as Riko who wishes to follow in her mother’s footsteps and trains hard to become a Cave Raider. One day, she receives news that her mother died in the Abyss, yet a mysterious note tells Riko that her mother may still be alive. Vowing to uncover the truth about her mother’s fate, Riko embarks on a journey with a humanoid robot boy named Reg. Together they will discover if they have what it takes to survive where so many others have perished.

MADE IN ABYSS: Wandering Twilight
MADE IN ABYSS: Wandering Twilight follows Riko and Reg on their adventure through the Abyss, picking up directly after the events of MADE IN ABYSS: Journey’s Dawn. The mystery surrounding her mother’s death deepens as Riko learns more about the truth of her origins. More determined than ever to travel to the bottom of the Abyss, Riko and Reg leave Ozen’s Seeker Camp and delve into the treacherous Third Layer — and beyond.

The movie begins streaming on HIDIVE beginning March 20, 2020 at 17:00 UTC.

After years of war against the monstrous kaiju, the world finally knows a time of prosperity and peace — but the presence of the kaiju can still be felt. Girls with the souls of kaiju are born every so often, and each is gifted with the unusual abilities of kaiju! An organization called GIRLS has collected the kaiju girls to defend the earth, but rising from the shadows comes BLACK STARS, a troupe of evil kaiju girls who just recruited their latest — and somewhat bewildered — new member…

Produced by Yumeta Company (My Sweet Tyrant), KAiJU GIRLS BLACK is directed by Yasutaka Yamamoto (Problem children are coming from another world, aren’t they?) with scriptwriting from Kento Shimoyama (No Game, No Life). The series stars Hiyori Nitta (Pastel Memories) as COMMANDER BLACK, Yuki Yagi (My Girlfriend is Shobitch) as ALIEN PEGASSA, Minami Takahashi (Food Wars!) as SILVERBLOOME and Kaori Ishihara (Maid Sama!) as NOVA.

HIDIVE Snags Indy Experimental Horror Feature “Aragne: Sign of Vermillion”

HOUSTON, TX — March 13, 2020 — HIDIVE announced today that it has acquired streaming rights to independently produced, experimental horror anime Aragne: Sign of Vermillion for audiences in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Latin America and Scandinavian countries. The film will begin streaming on HIDIVE Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at 17:00 UTC.

Rin’s new apartment building is a far cry from the sunny, idyllic photos from the rental brochure. And instead of offering sanctuary from a dangerous world outside, it oozes decay and dread. Residents exhibit unsettling, peculiar qualities and grotesque eruptions. Sinister forces seem to lie around every corner, and if Rin wants to survive, she will have to discover the terrifying truth — one she has kept buried within…

Aragne: Sign of Vermillion is written, directed and produced entirely by Saku Sakamoto (3D digital effects, GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: Innocence) after a successful Kickstarter-based crowdfunding campaign. Aragne: Sign of Vermillion stars Kana Hanazawa (Akame ga Kill!) as Rin, Yousuke Itou (Shirokuma Cafe) as Tokiyo, Fukujuro Katayama (Ping Pong the Animation) as Saion and Shogo Batori (Restaurant to Another World) as Mikaya.

“Based upon the light novels of Wataru Watari, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU returns with the series’ long-awaited conclusion and resolution to the nail-biting cliffhanger ending of season 2! But the messy emotions of Hachiman, Yukino and Yui won’t be easily expressed, and as the members of the Service Club band together to host a school prom, they will have to put their feelings into words and truly learn to understand each other at long last… if the Service Club can even stay afloat, that is!”
