Burbank, CA – KARAS: The Revelation is the long-awaited conclusion to the widely successful hit KARAS: The Prophecy. From Manga Entertainment and Tatsunoko Productions, creators of Speed Racer, Battle of the Planets and Gatchaman, Karas is an action-packed, visually stimulating battle of good vs. evil. Hailed by the Japanese animation media as “like Batman Begins” (Anime Insider), KARAS is a cross between a Cyberpunk version of The Crow and Batman with a samurai sword. KARAS: The Revelation will be available on DVD October 23rd, and the SRP will be $19.97.
Set in Tokyo, this 2D/3D hybrid animated feature continues where The Prophecy ends, resolving lingering questions that have been exasperating fans for months. In a city where humans and demons once held equal ground, an innate struggle for power and subservience has risen in a dangerous attempt to seize power for the demons and bring order to the streets through violent force. Nauseated by the human arrogance, the demons have declared war against them and the final battle commences between the new Karas, Otoha, and the once Karas turned despot Eko. Witness the transformation of the prophecy to revelation in this seductive and mesmerizing anime classic.
A two-disc set, packaged in a foil embossed slipcase, including The Prophecy and The Revelation will be available November 20, with a new low SRP of $29.97.
