STEP INTO THE ZONE! ANIMEIGO ANNOUNCES MEGAZONE 23 BLU-RAY HOME MEDIA DEBUT

Los Angeles, CA – Anime distributor AnimEigo announces the upcoming home media Blu-ray
release of the Megazone 23 OAV on November 12 th .

Making its debut in 1985, Megazone 23 ignited the Japanese Original Video Animation (OVA)
boom. It proved there was a market for direct-to-video anime films and paved the way for anime
to become not just a niche genre, but a world-wide phenomenon. It was soon joined by a
visually mind-blowing sequel, and a 2-part spinoff that takes place centuries later.

The new release from AnimEigo compiles the complete Megazone 23 trilogy along with an
array of bonus features that includes the original ADV Films commentary track, ADV Films
English Dub tracks for all 3 parts (4 episodes), UK dubs for Megazone 23 Part III, an English
subtitled Japanese commentary track with illustrator Gaku Miyao and producer Hiroki Satō, line
art galleries, liner notes by noted anime author Giles Poitras, and more.

What does it mean to be young a the end of the
world?
The year is 1985 – at least, Shogo Yahagi thought it
was. A few days ago, the young biker was out living
it up on the streets of Tokyo – listening to the latest
Eve tape, running around with his friends, and trying to flirt with the girl he almost ran over! But everything changed when a deadly encounter with a mysterious motorcycle sent him speeding
into danger. With a shadowy cabal now hot on his heels, Shogo quickly realizes that he’s
stepped into the deep end of a conspiracy that’s about to tear his reality asunder.
