MVM Entertainment’s building up of its first quarter 2015 slate is moving right along as the company has announced and scheduled Tsuritama for release. The show is being brought over in DVD-only form in a bilingual presentation that will be released on March 23rd, 2015. The release will contain the full twelve episode run for £29.99. Tsuritama was previously licensed in North America for release by Sentai Filmworks, who produced the dub for it, which was also sublicensed in Australia by Hanabee. The UK release will expand the reach of this utterly adorable series in a good way.

Plot concept: When Yuki Sanada ends up living in Enoshima with his grandmother, it’s just one more in a long line of transfers to a new school and new friends – except Yuki doesn’t make friends easily, so he’s used to making do without any. All that’s about to change, however, when the other new transfer student arrives in class – complete with a rod and reel – and announces that he’s an alien.
Now as he learns to fine art of fishing, Yuki finds himself drawn into a friendship with Haru the alien, moody Natsuki the Fishing Prince, and the mysterious Akira with his pet duck, Tapioca. But there’s something sinister afoot in Enoshima, and more than Yuki’s new-found friendships is at stake. If Yuki can’t make the catch of the day, the whole of Japan, and perhaps the world itself, will be caught in an alien net.
