STORE NEWS and TAB CLEARING

More snow this week, which means more minor transportation delays in and out of our fulfillment center. As always, I appreciate everyone's patience if materials we need for your order are taking a little longer than normal to arrive here. Snow is starting to become almost a daily occurrence here at our warehouse, so much so that we are now regarding 5 or 6 inches of the stuff as a rather small affair...

Reminder that Monday, Feb 15th is the Presidents day holiday here in the US, so there will be no postal shipments or deliveries on Monday.

We skipped posting an upcoming book list this week so we could do some much needed re-organizing and replenishment work in the warehouse, and so we could get this months slate of pre-order figurines posted. Those are now up and available for pre-order, but due to delays with the importer getting us complete information for some of them, we're working on a pretty tight pre-order window this month. So be sure to check them out and get your order in for anything you want to reserve before Feb 26th.

I also want to mention, because a few people have noticed the lack of new Funimation solicitations, that there is going to be a short blackout period on new releases from Funimation - probably from around the middle of March to the middle of April. The company that handles their home video distribution will be transitioning fulfillment locations and they expect this to take a few weeks from start to finish. So don't worry, nothing is wrong, just a little spring housekeeping on their part to keep us on our toes. ;-)

And finally, Valentines Day is Sunday. Don't forget about that special someone in your life, and remember, Flowers and Chocolates last a few days, but the gift of Anime proves your love for all eternity!

NEW LICENSES

Seven Seas Entertainment announced several new licenses over the course of the past week. They will release Tourou's Monster Guild: The Dark Lord's (No-Good) Comeback! manga starting in September 2021. They have licensed Nekoko and Hihara Yoh's Disciple of the Lich: Or How I Was Cursed by the Gods and Dropped Into the Abyss! light novel series, and will release the first volume of the novel series under its Airship imprint in September 2021. Seven Seas also announced that they have licensed Shinichi Matsui's Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! manga and Matsuri Akai and Tōzai's My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's light novels, and also Yazin and Takahito Kobayashi's Karate Survivor in Another World manga, which it will release the first volume digitally and in print in September.

Sentai announced that it will release Karakuri Circus, adapted from Kazuhiro Fujita’s manga of the same name, for home video this spring. Hailed as one of the best series from the Fall 2018 season, the 36-episode series blends unique artwork, characters and storytelling with gripping action all set within a complex, enigmatic world.

IN THE NEWS

The organizers of the Anime Boston convention announced that the 2021 event scheduled for April 2-4 is canceled. The organizers stated that the ban from March 2020 that Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker announced banning gatherings of more than 250 people is still in effect with no set end date. The organizers stated that it would "not be feasible" to postpone the convention until later this year or to host a virtual event. Anime Boston 2022 is set for May 27-29.

The live-streamed "Delicious Smile" concert debuted a special promotional video for the new anime of Nanatsu Mukunoki's WATATEN!: an Angel Flew Down to Me (Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!) manga on Saturday. The video reveals that the new anime will play in theaters. The television anime adaptation premiered in January 2019. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan. The anime's third and final Blu-ray Disc and DVD home video volume (in Japan) included a bonus original video anime in May 2019.

And finally, the Guinness World Records awarded Matthew Emblidge (USA) with a certificate recognizing him as the owner of the world's largest collection of Cardcaptor Sakura memorabilia on January 2. Emblidge, who is based in Columbia, Maryland, owns a collection of 4,873 items. Emblidge's reason for attempting the record in 2021 is because this year marks the 25th anniversary of Cardcaptor Sakura. You can see more images of his impressive collection on his Tumblr account and Twitter account.
