Aniplex has come right out of the gate at Sakura-con this weekend with the news that they’ve acquired the rights to the new spring series Valvrave the Liberator. The Sunrise produced series is set for streaming a day after its airing in Japan, which is currently scheduled for April 12.
“Valvrave the Liberator is an exciting new series that fans have been looking forward to watching” says Hideki Goto, the president of Animation Business of Aniplex of America. “Valvrave the Liberator is another example of how we continue to provide the fans with the latest and greatest content right after it airs in Japan.”
Aniplex USA has set up an official site for it with streaming information to come soon.
Plot Concept: A new age where 70% of the human population lives in space thanks to the development of “Dyson Sphere”, a city in space. The world is divided into two main powers: The Dorrssia Military Pact Federation, a power which grew out of a military alliance, and the Atlantic Rim United States (ARUS), which grew in power as it expanded its trade agreements. The minor nation of JIOR has declared neutrality between these two forces and maintains its peace through economic prosperity. Within the JIOR’s Sphere, Haruto Tokishima lived an ordinary life as a high school student in the division known as “Module 77”-until the Dorssian military begins their sudden invasion! But the whole world will be shaken when Haruto meets the mysterious humanoid weapon, Valvrave!
I weep every time Aniplex licenses something because I know it will be out of my price range.
