Once more, an AnimEigo anime release has hit the Out Of Print section of the site as we’ve learned that Battle Royal High School is no longer available for purchase from the company. The OVA was originally released in 2003 by AnimEigo on DVD in which we had a fair bit of action over its sixty minute run time. The show was based n the manga of the same name by Kuruma Shin’ichi that ran from 1986 to 1989 and was published in four volumes. Te anime version came in 1987 and was directed by Ichiro Itano who also directed Violence Jack and was involved in all three Megazone 23 releases while taking on the directing duties of the second.
AnimEigo has two more announced titles going OOP in the next few months with Urusei Yatsura hitting the mark on September 30th and You’re Under Arrest! going out on January 31st, 2012. Their current active license list is made up of:
