Paul •
In a press release sent out earlier today, inbound UK digital TV chanel RaptureTV have confirmed one of the two anime series they intend to broadcast is Wolf’s Rain.
- “It (Wolf’s Rain) will be scheduled on Thursdays at 8.30pm, and repeated on Sundays at 8.30pm. Rapture will launch on the 14th of November in the entertainment section of Sky’s EPG, with Wolf Rain’s first episode screened on Thursday the 17th, and will be repeated on the 20th. The second “Anime’ acquisition will be announced at the MCM Expo, held in the Excel conference centre, on the 29th of October 2005.”
This highly-rated “action-packed, emotionally draining” 30 episode sci-fi TV series is from Studio BONES, the makers of Fullmetal Alchemist and RahXephon. It is due for a UK DVD release courtesy of Beez starting in Autumn (the first volume is currently set for 10 October) and is essentially the first “mature” anime series to premiere on UK TV for well over a year.
