Naoki Urasawa’s MONSTER licensed by Siren Visual

May 17, 2013

Siren Visual have just dropped a ‘monster’ announcement that they will be adding one of the most critically acclaimed anime series of all time to their rich catalogue. That’s right, they have licensed Naoki Urasawa’s MONSTER, an award-winning masterpiece anime series based upon the legendary manga thriller of the same name.

MONSTER, set within Düsseldorf, Germany; tells the story of a Japanese brain surgeon, Kenzo Tenma, who decides to save a young boy’s life over the life of the city’s mayor. This one decision sets a domino effect into motion, with people beginning to meet bizarre and gruesome fates around Tenma. It seems like a ‘monster’ is on the loose.

Siren Visual have outlined that they will release the 72 episode epic over 5 collections starting with the first in November 2013. These MONSTER releases will feature both English dub and English sub with the original Japanese soundtrack. Unfortunately due to the fact that there exists no HD masters of MONSTER, a Blu-Ray release is not possible at this time, so these releases will be DVD format only.

Interestingly enough, MONSTER is also set to be adapted into a live-action TV series by Guillermo Del Toro and HBO. Regardless, this acquisition announcement is certainly huge news for Siren Visual fans and MONSTER fans alike. Be sure to ‘like’ Siren Visual’s official Facebook page for all your latest updates.

A raw, unrefined Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins can still hang with the world’s best assassins. In the case of this teaser trailer, we see Batman fight ‘the Terminator’ Deathstroke, who featured opposite Bats on the back cover of the reveal issue of GameInformer magazine.

Although he is a feature opponent, Slade Wilson is not alone; Batman will face a group of bad guys who want to collect the biggest bounty of them all – his mask…or his head, either way, the mantle of the caped crusader is in danger figuratively and literally in this prequel to the amazing Arkham Asylum by Rocksteady.

You can view the teaser embedded below. It seems the mercenary has brought all of his tools of the trade to this fight; his sword, guns and staff. But this clip is only whetting the apetite for the full-length trailer, which will be released on May 20th. Keep it locked to Capsule Computers as we’ll be putting it up A.S.A.P. once it’s available.
