MVM has announced via a tweet that they have licensed Alice in Borderland and Release the Spyce set for a July release. Release the Spyce Collector’s Edition will be available as an Early Bird pre-order on Monday 28th.

Alice in Borderland (Imawa no Kuni no Alice)

Alice in Borderland is a three-part OVA (original video anime) based on Haro Aso’s manga by the same name that also spawned the popular Japanese live-action series available on Netflix.

Synopsis: Ryohei Arisu is bored with life. Nothing is new or exciting, and playing games is the only relief from the endless monotony of a seemingly pointless existence. If only, he wishes, he could be someplace else… a different world… where things were more exciting. Then Ryohei and his friends, Daikichi and Chota, see what seems to be an incredibly powerful firework in the sky, brighter than any shooting star, and when they can see again, they discover that they’re in an entirely new reality. Unfortunately, as they quickly learn, while this new world is, indeed, far more exciting, it’s also incredibly dangerous. Trapped in a post-apocalyptic environment where the only way to survive is to compete in a series of increasingly deadly games, Ryohei and his friends have no choice except to adapt or perish in ALICE IN BORDERLAND!


Release the Spyce

Release the Spyce is a 12-episode original anime series that aired during the Fall 2018 anime season.

Synopsis: One never knows where the forces of evil may be preparing to strike, but fortunately for the citizens of the city of Sorasaki, there is a secret group of mysterious protectors who stand ever ready to fend off the pernicious plans of sinister scoundrels, malevolent malefactors and nefarious ne’er-do-wells. But who are these heroes and how are they recruited? Momo Minamoto is a normal high school student who dreams of one day becoming a police officer like her late father, but when she investigates the case of a missing friend, she quickly finds herself being recruited into the ranks of the Tsukikage, a group of high school girl spies with above average abilities and the ferocious fighting skills needed to take on any fiend who foments foulness and corruption! Stand back evildoers! It’s time to RELEASE THE SPYCE!
