FUNimation Entertainment Brings Deadman Wonderland to DVD in North America

Friday July 1, 2011 at 09:00 pm by Rojas

Flower Mound, TX (July 1, 2011) - FUNimation(R) Entertainment today announced that it will distribute the futuristic action anime "Deadman Wonderland" in North America in 2012. In an agreement with Kadokawa Shoten Co., Ltd., FUNimation will have the home entertainment, broadcast, digital and merchandise rights for the 12-episode series ending its Japanese broadcast run this month.

An adaptation of Jinsei Kataoka and Kazuma Kondou's Deadman Wonderland manga, the dark story is set after the destruction of most of Tokyo by an earthquake and centers on Ganta Igarashi, a middle school student framed for the murder of his classmates. Igarashi is sentenced to Deadman Wonderland, a bizarre brutal and bloody privately operated prison that is one part incarceration and one part public spectacle – a thoroughly twisted tourist destination!

The series is animated by Manglobe and directed by Koichi Hatsumi.

FUNimation will stream the series via www.funimation.com this year.

So does FUNimation really have the Blu-ray rights? Does dealing with Kadokawa Shoten make a difference here?

- Will you be releasing Deadman Wonderland on to DVD?
- but of course.

- Sometime in the near future?
- Early next year

- will it be bluray as well?
- Can't confirm at the moment, it will depend if Funimation is doing it as we will be relying on them to do a BD release first.

Note: the PREVIEWS release dates were 1 day to Tuesday, so I have adjusted accordingly. All info subjected to change prior to official solicitation. It's looking like a DVD only release for this release.

After not making it for September, I figured it had to end up in October. Not surprised to see it DVD-only at this point, but still disappointed, as I pretty much lose my last hopes of Kadokawa stopping this crap anytime soon.
