###PLEASE EXPLAIN THESE OUT-OF-CONTEXT ANIME SCREENCAPS
6/16/2017 11:25:07 AM

Has a friend or family member ever walked in on you while watching anime… at the worst possible time? This blog post, featuring some of our favorite anime screencaps, will feel similar. We took a stab at explaining these from the point of view of an innocent bystander.

###Comet Lucifer

“A peasant girl in Miami is surrounded by robots, fighting the end of the world with two machineguns.”

###Armed Girls Machiavellism

“An anime girl in a demon mask is examining someone’s down-there parts very intently. She might be a doctor? She’s cute though!”

###Humanity Has Declined

“WHY IS THE BREAD BLEEDING?! IS THE BREAD HUMAN? IS THE BREAD DYING?! SAVE THE BREAD!”

###Grimoire of Zero

“A white-haired girl is acting as a censor to a naked tiger-man. Meanwhile, a boy with blonde hair is trying not to look, but we can clearly see he’s looking.”

###Gourmet Girl Graffiti

“In this anime screenshot, one girl is violently feeding another girl… ice cream? Rice? Something purple. The anime girl being fed looks like she’s enjoying it?”

###FLIP FLAPPERS

“Why… doesn’t the little girl have a mouth?! OR EYES?! Zombie? Monster? Ghost? It’s coming to get me later, isn’t it?!”

###Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior

“Hot anime girl is holding a weapon (water gun?) while wearing a really cute frog raincoat. How do I get one of these things?”

###Love Stage

“Cute anime boy who looks pretty fetch in a white suit is being nuzzled and smothered by squishy pink elephants.”

###Dai Shogun

(…) “I’ve got nothing. Cat girl thinks this man’s oversized pompadour is attractive?”

TUESDAY NEW RELEASES: THE BIG O, NORN9

6/20/2017 6:31:03 PM

The Big O, The Complete Collection

Forty years ago, the minds of Paradigm City’s inhabitants were wiped clean of all recollections of the past. Now, ruled by a powerful corporation and cut off from the rest of the world by desolate wastelands, Paradigm has become a virtual police state where Negotiators like Roger Smith keep the wheels of progress, commerce, and society turning. As a combined hybrid of detective, mediator, and enforcer, Smith’s primary resource is his keen, analytical mind, but it doesn’t hurt to have a mansion filled with gadgets, his butler Norman, and his attractive assistant Dorothy to fall back on. Additionally, for those times when cases end up “in dispute,” he also has the biggest, baddest back-up that any cop or small army could ever hope for: the Big O, a giant robot loaded with all the extras. Film noir thriller meets mecha mayhem masterpiece as the acclaimed classic series returns in the complete collection of THE BIG O!

Norn9 Complete Collection

It’s been so long since someone used her name that she’s forgotten it. Suddenly, she’s ripped away from everything she knows, chosen by a mysterious organization called The World for a secret mission. However, from the moment she steps on board the incredible spacecraft Norn, she knows that she’s found home. The other young people aboard the ship are just like her: gifted with unexpected skills and abilities. Now, to protect the future of peace and harmony, they’re at The World’s beck and call. Maybe she’ll find more than just a purpose. Maybe she’s finally found a family and, possibly, even… her soul mate? Join three amazing girls, nine incredible guys, and a mysterious kid as an epic odyssey begins in NORN9!

###NOBUNAGA’S BIRTHDAY - SPOTTING NOBUNAGA IN ANIME
6/23/2017 9:58:27 AM

In your adventures, you may have stumbled across a character named Nobunaga in anime. Regarded as one of the three unifiers of Japan, Nobunaga is an iconic character of Japanese history. Today, June 23, is his birthday! This re-imagined historical icon has experienced many depictions in some Sentai Filmworks anime titles.

###Anime Adaptations of Oda Nobunaga

###Battle Girls: Time Paradox

Our first anime adaptation of Oda Nobunaga is… this busty young lady. In an alternate history of Feudal Japan, all of Japan’s greatest historical heroes are women! A normal high school girl meets the great (genderbent) Nobunaga and decides to help her gather the pieces of a mystical armor to unite Japan. Sounds legit.

###Nobunaga the Fool

Military intrigue and mechas abound in a tale that pits the Eastern and Western planets against each other. Amid the chaos, a foolish and carefree young man named Oda Nobunaga dons a powerful armor mecha to save (and possibly unite) both worlds. Along the way, we get to meet other anime versions of historical characters in this sci-fi world, like Leonardo da Vinci, Akechi Matsuhide, and even Jeanne d’Arc.

###The Ambition of Oda Nobuna

This time, we have another genderbent version of Nobunaga, the tsundere edition. High schooler Yoshiharu ends up an alternate history where the role of Nobunaga is taken over by another daimyo, a beautiful and clearly ambitious girl named Oda Nobuna. In this comedic, and at times thought provoking, romp through a history that never was, this version of Nobunaga finds her decisions at odds with her ideals.

###What Did We Learn in History Class Today?
History can be cool, kids. Sometimes, anime can teach us helpful historical tidbits in ways we never thought we’d use.
What other historical figures have you spotted in anime? Let us know on us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. (Make sure you @SentaiFilmworks so we can see it!)
