Madman Acquires “Karneval” and “Good Luck Girl!” Live Now in Screening Room.
Fresh anime continues to pour out of the Madman Screening Room at www.madman.com.au/videos !
We are pleased to announce the recent acquisition of KARNEVAL and GOOD LUCK GIRL! BINBOGAMI GA! Both series can be viewed free, and will be making their way to DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital in 2014. Look for more announcements this weekend at Supanova Brisbane and in two weeks in Adelaide!
GOOD LUCK GIRL
A comedy from the creative forces behind Gintama and Bleach
Ichiko gets lucky a lot. She’s rich, beautiful, smart, stacked, and better than you at everything. There’s a reason life always goes her way. She unwittingly steals happiness energy from everyone else! Momiji—a poverty god with a freakishly huge syringe and a bunch of oddball charms—has to take Ichiko’s extra good fortune and return it to her various victims of circumstance. Like an Adderall-raddled cat-and-mouse chase in a funhouse full of pop culture references, the spirit of shortcomings and her self-absorbed subject stick each other with jabs, gags, bizarre bets, and dirty tricks aplenty. It’s a side-splitting ride, and everyone’s seatbelt is defective. But how many blows to the ego can Ichiko take before she grows a sympathy gland and stops hogging all the happiness?
Tentative DVD/BD release March 2014
KARNEVAL
The circus is deadly in this colourful, gothic action drama
Armed with only an abandoned bracelet as a clue, Nai searches for someone dear to him. After a run in with a pick-pocket named Gareki, the two find themselves involved in a government set-up that leaves them wanted criminals. Desperate and on-the-run, Nai and Gareki turn to the country’s most powerful defense organization – “Circus” – for help.
Based on the manga available from Madman. Tentative DVD/BD release August 2014
