Right Stuf Announces the March 1, 2016 Release for ‘Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam’ Part 1

Right Stuf and Sunrise have just announced that their upcoming DVD and Blu-ray release of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Part 1 will be available on March 1, 2016. Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam is the sequel of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. Both editions will be available for pre-order from February 2, 2016. Right Stuf provided a synopsis of the series:

The Earth Federation Stands victorious, but are they still on the right side?

In Zeta Gundam, we see the future world of the Universal Century through a dark mirror. Having defeated the Zeon menace, the Earth Federation has itself become cruel and oppressive. A new generation of Gundam mobile suits is created not to fight for peace, but to punish the enemies of the state, and yesterday’s villains must become today’s heroes in order to balance the scales of justice. When a young civilian named Kamille Bidan is caught up in the rebellion, he little suspects the price he will pay in the fight for freedom.

The series comes from Yoshiyuki Tomino, the original creator of the Gundam franchise. The releases will feature remastered video and the original Ocean Group English dub. Episodes 1-25 will be presented in the original 4:3 aspect ratio.

The DVD edition will feature English Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo audio, Japanese Mono audio and English subtitles. It has a suggested retail price of $59.99 USD. The Blu-ray edition will feature English LPCM Stereo audio, Japanese LPCM Mono audio and English subtitles. This edition has a suggested retail price of $74.99 USD. On-disc extras for both releases will include the first two textless opening animation sequences.

How-to-Build-a-Dungeon-Book-of-the-Demon-King-volume-1-coverContinuing with their “10 Days of Licensing” Seven Seas Entertainment has announced that they are picking up the manga series How to Build a Dungeon: Book of the Demon King. Written by Warau Yakan with artwork handled by Komiya Toshimasa, How to Build a Dungeon: Book of the Demon King is a dark fantasy harem manga that takes a darker look at the dungeon genre as it follows the story of a man’s thirst for power and desire to build the ultimate dungeon.

Upon his death, Aur finds himself reborn into a magical world as a Demon King. Thanks to his past research he uses his new abilities to make his dark visions a reality. Upon summoning an alluring succubus known as Lilu to serve him, he immediately begins the task of creating a dungeon—an underground kingdom of his own, filled with all manner of fantastical beasts.

As Aur crafts the intricate and dangerous world of his dungeon, he’ll learn what it takes to become a true Demon King, with all the pleasures, troubles, and trials that come with it. Thanks to the more adult nature of the content found in How to Build a Dungeon: Book of the Demon King the series will be sold in shrink-wrapped single volumes with the first volume set for release on October 11, 2016 for $12.99.
