Bandai seems to want to keep sci-fi fans
in front of their DVD players, this spring. Because their next
new release, Geneshaft plans to add to Bandai’s sci-fi anime
titles, they are working on. Set for a release at the end of
May, this relatively unknown 13 episode series, might just be
quite well known here in North America.
The story to this takes place in the
distant future when a mystifying ring appears between the
Earth and the moon. (Halo anyone?) A group of genetically
enhanced humans are sent to check it out, that’s when
everything hits the fan and the origins of this device is
discovered.
With a release date of May 20th,
you can expect this series to be something exciting and
amusing to view. But for now, we leave you some DVD speaks and
Region 2 DVD covers (Which are the same as the Region 1
apparently.)
