HIDIVE to Launch “Super Dimension Century ORGUSS”

HOUSTON, TX — July 30, 2022 — HIDIVE announced today that it will add Super Dimension Century ORGUSS, the classic sci-fi anime series created by Big West (Macross series, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Floral Magician Mary Bell) and TMS Entertainment (LUPIN THE 3rd series, Dr. STONE, MEGALOBOX), to its immense retro anime lineup. The series will begin streaming on HIDIVE in Summer 2022.

In 2062, two technologically advanced regimes engage in brutal, all-out war. Desperate to put an end to the bloody standstill, pilot Kei Katsuragi launches a final attempt to destroy the weapon at the heart of the conflict: the dreaded Space/Time Oscillation Bomb. But Kei’s actions wreak unforeseen consequences and plunge his world into a maelstrom of intersecting alternate realities and timelines. Now he must try to reverse the effects of the detonated Space/Time Oscillation Bomb, but restoring the world to normal may be beyond his reach…

Super Dimension Century ORGUSS is directed by Noboru Ishiguro (Astro Boy (1980), Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden, Star Blazers: The Quest for Iscandar) and Yasumi Mikamoto (Naruto: Shippūden, LUPIN THE 3rd PART 4, Bakugan Battle Brawlers) with script and series composition from Kenichi Matsuzaki (Space Runaway Ideon, Mobile Suit Gundam, Bubblegum Crisis).

The series stars Show Hayami (Ascendance of a Bookworm, Trigun, Bleach) as Kei Katsuragi, Run Sasaki (Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Crusher Joe, Violence Jack: Hell’s Wind) as Mimsy Laaz, Arihiro Hase (Macross, Macross 7, Lily C.A.T.) as Badei, Koichi Kitamura (Yu Yu Hakusho, One Piece, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) as Govu and Masako Katsuki (Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Sailor Moon, Naruto: Shippuden) as Athena Henderson.

Trailer

Revue Starlight Movie Official Trailer

Synopsis

The stage emulates life and compresses it, setting free skills learned over lifetimes in brief but dazzling displays for the amusement and judgment of others. For the performers, it is the ultimate risk, and some will rise while others must fall. Nowhere is this truer than at the Seisho Music Academy, where music, dance and real weapons all come into play in the creation of the next great Star. Karen and Hikari’s destinies have been linked since a childhood promise, but their journeys here have taken very different paths. Now, after Hikari leaves, Karen must discover who she is without her opposite, while Hikari must rediscover her own course. Nor are they the only girls who must reassess and change if they want to achieve their dreams, as the dance, magic, and swordplay continue in REVUE STARLIGHT: THE MOVIE!

HIDIVE ENSNARES “THE EMINENCE IN SHADOW” FOR FALL 2022

HOUSTON, TX — SEPTEMBER 13, 2022 — HIDIVE announced today that it acquired exclusive rights to The Eminence in Shadow, the anime adaptation of Daisuke Aizawa’s hilarious isekai light novel series of the same name that has sold over 1.5 million copies since its publication. The series will premiere on HIDIVE this fall.

Some people just aren’t suited to playing the part of the flashy, in-your-face hero or the dastardly, mustache-twirling villain with larger-than-life panache. Instead, they operate in the shadows and pull the strings of society through wit and cleverness. That’s the role Cid wants to play when he’s transported to another world. Cid spins a yarn or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization that fights against a menacing cult (which he totally made up). However, there’s a catch even his wild imagination didn’t see coming: the cult he concocted actually exists, and they’re beyond displeased that his power fantasy just got in the way of their evil plans!

The series is produced by studio Nexus (Granbelm, Chivalry of a Failed Knight) with Kazuya Nakanishi (animation director of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World) serving as series director. Makoto Iino (Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town) handles character design while Kanichi Kato (Black Clover) provides series composition. The light novel is published in English by Yen Press.

The series stars Seiichiro Yamashita (Gatsby Colbert in How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom) as Cid Kagenou/Shadow, Kana Hanazawa (Seiryu Ubiquitous in Akame ga Kill!) as Alexia Midgar, Yoko Hikasa (Farnese in Berserk) as Iris Midgar, Asami Seto (Nobara Kugisaki in Jujutsu Kaisen) as Alpha, Inori Minase (Jeanne in The Case Study of Vanitas) as Beta, Suzuko Mimori (Hikari Kagura in Revue Starlight) as Gamma, Fairouz Ai (Jolyne Kujo in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean) as Delta, Hisako Kanemoto (Hinano Kurahashi in Assassination Classroom) as Epsilon, Ayaka Asai (Lisa Isaribi in Fire Force) as Zeta, and Reina Kondo (Ronie Arabel in Sword Art Online: Alicization) as Eta.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HIDIVE Acquires “Management of a Novice Alchemist” for Fall 2022

HOUSTON, TX — SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 — HIDIVE announced today that it acquired exclusive rights to Management of a Novice Alchemist, the heartfelt fantasy anime series based on the light novel of the same name by Mizuho Itsuki. The series will premiere exclusively on HIDIVE this fall.

Orphaned Sarasa just graduated from the Royal Alchemist Academy, and that means her longed-for life of elegance and riches is close at hand! As a graduation gift, her teacher gifts her a house to set up shop — but Sarasa’s dilapidated new digs are beyond far-flung. What’s a novice alchemist to do when they’re stuck in the middle of nowhere with a business to run and supplies to gather from a very dangerous natural world? Whether it’s facing down frightening fantasy creatures or finding creative ways to attract customers, Sarasa has her work cut out for her as she achieves her dream of becoming the greatest alchemist around!

Studio ENGI (A Certain Scientific Railgun T) handles animation production for this charming series. The series is directed Hiroshi Ikehata (episode director in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) with series composition from Shigeru Murakoshi (I’m Quitting Heroing, Zombie Land Saga). Yosuke Ito (The Detective is Already Dead, Key Animation for Pokémon XY) provides character design and serves as chief animation director.

The series stars Kanon Takao (Yuri in Encouragement of Climb Season 3) as Sarasa Feed, Hina Kino (Kaede Kurushima in Steins;Gate 0) as Lorea, Saori Ōnishi (Aiz Wallenstein in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) as Iris Lotze and Nanaka Suwa (Yui in BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense.) as Kate Starven.

The future home video release of Management of a Novice Alchemist will be distributed by and available from Sentai.
