Neofilms Opens Human Lost Film in Hong Kong on February 20

Hong Kong film distributor Neofilms announced on Tuesday that it will open the Human Lost 3D CG anime film in Hong Kong on February 20.

The film opened in the U.S. before it opens in Japan. Funimation screened the film in theaters in the United States last October with both English subtitles and an English dub. The film opened in Japan last November.

The anime won the the "Axis: The Satoshi Kon Award for Excellence in Animation" award as a Special Mention at Montreal's Fantasia International Film Festival last July. The film also screened out of competition at this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival last June.

The "new sci-fi, cyberpunk film project" is an adaptation of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human novel. Funimation describes the film:

From the chief director of “PSYCHO-PASS,” director of “Afro Samurai,” and the studio that brought you “Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters.”

The year is 2036. A revolution in medical treatment has conquered death by means of internal nanomachines and the “Shell System”, yet only the richest can afford to partake.

Yozo Oba isn't the richest. Troubled by strange dreams, he flippantly joins his friend's biker gang on an ill-fated incursion to “The Inside”, where society's elite lives. This instigates a journey of terrifying discovery that will change Yozo's life forever.

Katsuyuki Motohiro (FLCL Alternative, Psycho-Pass) served as executive director. Fuminori Kizaki (Afro Samurai) directed the film at Polygon Pictures. Tow Ubukata (Fafner, Psycho-Pass 2) wrote the scripts. Yūsuke Kozaki (BBK/BRNK, Intrigue in the Bakumatsu - Irohanihoheto) designed the characters, and Kenichiro Tomiyasu (Resident Evil: Damnation) was in charge of concept art. MAGNET and Slow Curve are credited with planning, and TOHO Visual Entertainment is distributing the film in Japan.

Dazai's original Ningen Shikkaku novel follows a young man's deepening alienation from the rest of the world, despite his attempts to maintain a cheery facade.

Lord Marksman and Michelia Light Novels Get Manga

The official Twitter account for Shueisha's Dash X Bunko light novel label announced on Tuesday that Tsukasa Kawaguchi's Lord Marksman and Michelia (Madan no Ō to Michelia) light novel series will have a manga adaptation by kakao that will begin serialization in the "Suiyōbi wa Mattari Dash X Comic" page of the Nico Nico Seiga website on Saturday.

The Lord Marksman and Michelia novel series is an alternative parallel world to Kawaguchi's Lord Marksman and Vanadis light novel series, with Ludmila instead of Eleonora as the main heroine. In this alternate world, Zhcted does not declare war on Brune, but instead forms an alliance to wage war against the kingdom of Muozinel. A young man named Tigre goes to war in his father's place, and his first taste of battle begins to go well, until Brune's battle lines crumble to an ambush. The commander of Tigre's unit flees, until Ludmila, the Vanadis warrior of Olmutz, comes to the rescue. Two years after that battle, Tigre and Ludmila have a chance reunion, just as the curtain is raised on a new war, and a legendary evil awakens.

Kawaguchi launched the new novel series with the first volume in September 2018, and Shueisha released the fourth novel volume last September. Itsuka Miyatsuki illustrates the novel series.

Kawaguchi launched the original Lord Marksman and Vanadis (Madan no Ō to Vanadis) light novel series in 2011 with art by Yoshi☆wo. Kadokawa published the 18th and final volume in 2017. Nobuhiko Yanai drew a manga adaptation of the novel series in Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Flapper magazine from 2011 to 2016, and Kadokawa published 10 volumes for the manga. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed and released all 10 volumes of the manga in English.

Most recently, the franchise also launched the Lord Marksman and Carnwenhan (Madan no Ō to Carnwenhan) novel series with the first volume last September. Like Lord Marksman and Michelia, this series is an alternative parallel world centering on Limalisha, Eleonar's bodyguard, and the wielder of the twin blades Carnwenhan. Tsukasa Seo writes the new novels, and Minato Yasaka illustrates the novels.

FUNimation Entertainment streamed the 13-episode anime adaptation of Lord Marksman and Vanadis, which premiered in October 2014, and released the series on DVD and Blu-ray with an English dub in February 2016.

Gintama Goes Nude for New Lottery Prizes

Gintama has never been shy about showing some skin for its merchandise, whether its a very lewd vase or the world's most awkward fork. At first glance it appears, the "Gintama: In the Bath, Both the Body and Mind are Naked Collection" might be going for a pure fanservice route, but the prizes sound just as silly as you'd expect.

The collection will be sold online retailer Rakuten for approximately three weeks starting in mid-February. The lottery has seven prizes ranging from "S" to "F" and all have a bathing theme, in fact one looks to be actual bathtubs. The S prize is listed as one of two traditional wooden bath pails. The A prize is one of five varieties of bath towels, and the B prize is one of five B2-size bath posters.

The C prize is one of five acrylic standees, the D prize is one of five types of cloth wipes, the E prize is one of 5 sets of two clear files, and the F prize is one of 15 can badges. Contestants that win the S, A, or B prizes can select which illustration they want on their prize. New random prizes will also be awarded each week.

The campaign site shows a censored image of Gintoki in the bath and will add four more later.
