Hello everyone! Welcome to July ![]() AKIRA! ![]() Here's some more info on this classic film... “AKIRA IS THE DEFINITIVE ANIME CLASSIC.” – EMPIRE: THE 500 GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME. To coincide with the company’s 20th anniversary celebrations, in June 2011 Manga Entertainment will be releasing on Blu-ray, for the first time ever, the movie that started it all and defined the Manga brand as the world’s leading anime distributor – Katsuhiro Otomo’s classic Akira! Prior to the Blu-ray release, the film will also open at selected UK cinemas, giving fans the chance to see this “lavish animation extravaganza” (Variety) in all its big screen glory. Universally acclaimed as one of the greatest anime features of all time and hailed as “a visionary, game-changing masterpiece” (News of the World), the film has been digitally restored and remastered in full HD with super dynamic “Hypersonic” audio especially for this long-awaited Blu-ray release. Acknowledged as a hugely influential and genre-defining anime, this is Akira as never seen or heard before. An unmissable treat for its established legion of admirers, this release is set to introduce Otomo’s masterpiece to a whole new generation of film fans. Neo-Tokyo, 2019. The city is being rebuilt following the devastation of World War III. Kaneda and Tetsuo, two high school dropouts, stumble upon a secret government project to develop a new form of weaponry – telekinetic humans. Tetsuo learns of the existence of his ‘peer’, Akira, the project's most powerful subject, and determines to challenge him... “A remarkable technical achievement in every respect” (Variety) and packed from start to finish with “scintillating animated visuals” (Empire), Akira “moves with such kinetic energy that you'll be hanging on for dear life” (Washington Post) and remains, 20 years on from its first UK release, “a landmark production that can be watched with equal satisfaction as a metaphorical psychodrama or as a sheer visual spectacular” (The Onion). Akira (cert. 15) will open at selected UK cinemas on 24th June 2011 and will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on 27th June 2011. A special limited edition collectors’ SteelBook containing both the DVD and the Blu-ray disc will also be available from 27th June. Special Features include: Digitally Remastered Feature; 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen Presentation; English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, English Stereo 2.0 and Japanese Stereo 2.0 audio options; optional English, Norwegian, Danish, Portuguese, Finnish and Swedish subtitles. PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY BLU-RAY REVIEW COPIES WILL BE AVAILABLE AWESOME! But how do you win? Well, for once I have no idea. As you can probably tell from the title, this week I'm not running the competition. The prize for ![]() So, it's all up to him now - with a little help from me if needed. Put your hands together and give a warm Cult Labber's welcome to none other than... Mr. Darthelvis ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Good luck everyone, Kyle ![]()

It's funny, Just last week I had the idea that you should have people helping you run the comps. Especially after that Salon Kitty Nazi comp! Will the #1 winner of this weeks competition be helping you out next week?

Thank you, thank you very much for the kind introduction! Well it is indeed an honour to be bringing you this weeks competition and what an awesome prize! I must say I have been truly inspired with the work going on in the design your own Arrow cover and with that in mind I have decided this weeks competition should be to design your own Arrow/Shameless cover but with a funny twist. To give you an idea of what I mean and to get the ball rolling, here is a cover for a forthcoming Arrow release which has me salivating, Tobe Hooper's Funhouse My favourite 3 entires next Sunday will get their hands on a copy of the new Akira Blu Ray. Let your imaginations run wild! ![]()
