DC Ent. and Warner Bros. Animation will release the new animated feature Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox on July 30 this year. The PG-13 pic centers on Flash, who wakes up one day to find all his superpowers gone. The release will be available as a Blu-ray Combo Pack ($24.98), DVD ($19.98) and Digital Download.
Here is the official synopsis of the movie:
“When time travel allows a past wrong to be righted for Flash and his family, the event’s temporal ripples prove disastrous, creating a fractured, alternate reality where the Justice League never formed, and even Superman is nowhere to be found. Amidst a new world being ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman’s Amazons and Aquaman’s Atlanteans, Flash must team with a grittier, more violent Batman and government agent Cyborg to restore the continuity of Flash’s original timeline.”

Right Stuf’s Nozomi Ent. Announces DVD Release of PRINCESS KNIGHT, Part 2 Concluding DVD set available on August 6, 2013.

GRIMES, Iowa, April 17, 2013 – Anime producer and distributor Right Stuf, Inc. and its Nozomi Entertainment division are excited to announce the PRINCESS KNIGHT, Part 2 DVD set will be available on August 6, 2013.

The Part 2 DVD set will feature the concluding 26 episodes of this classic television series with its original English-language dub. Right Stuf and Nozomi’s two-part home video release will be the first time the Princess Knight series will be available to North American audiences on licensed DVD.

Note: Due to the availability of materials, these DVD releases will utilize the edited and cut, broadcast video footage from Princess Knight’s television syndication during the 1960s and 1970s. (Japanese audio will not be included on these sets because it cannot be synched to the video.)

Also known as “Choppy and the Princess,” the 52-episode anime adaptation of Princess Knight is based upon the best-selling comic (manga) by legendary creator Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, Kimba The White Lion) and features animation from Tezuka’s own Mushi Productions. It originally aired on Japanese television from 1967 through 1968, and its English-language adaptation was syndicated throughout the United States in the 1970s and 1980s.

In both anime and manga forms, Princess Knight was among the first titles geared specifically toward a young female (shoujo) audience. The original comic was serialized in Kodansha’s Shoujo Club anthology magazine, from 1953 through 1956, and its sequel series, Twin Knight, was serialized in Kodansha’s Nakayoshi anthology in 1958. The two collected volumes of the Princess Knight manga are currently available to North American readers from Vertical, Inc., which plans to release the sequel series in Summer 2013.
