Filed under: News — S. @ 1:03 pm

FUNimation has posted the sixth full episode (subtitled) of their new series Phantom ~ Requiem for the Phantom TV in the video section. At the time of this posting, the server has doing just fine, but as the day progresses expect some need to pause and buffer due to traffic. If an ad begins at the start of the episode, you can click the ‘X” in the top right corner you will skip the ad and get straight to the episode. The best suggestion is to start the episode, pause it, and find something else to do for awhile as the player loads the episode completely. Phantom TV airs in Japan at 2:15am on Friday’s, which just happens to be 45 minutes before it gets posted by FUNimation.

Discotek Media has updated their news page with a list of street dates and new licenses.

TBD:

Kani Goalkeeper

Unfortunately we had to delay the Stormriders DVD for the time being. The master that we received was pretty dirty and not in as good of condition as we were expecting. We really don’t want to release it the way it is so right now we’re looking at cleanup options or getting a new master. Everything else has been completed but the master is the problem right now. Surprisingly the Stormriders is in much worse condition then Ebola Syndrome or Chinese Torture Chamber Story. Any updates will be posted here.

Burning Paradise we are getting ready to get the master so hopefully that one is in better condition. The Taxi Hunter master also has a lot of dirt and we’re also looking at cleanup options on that before we set a street date. These three titles are going to be released, but with the time and cost of cleanup we have to take them one at a time.

Kani Goalkeeper is still not out because we haven’t received the materials. Until they send the materials we can’t set the date. Hopefully they come soon and if so it will be added as soon as possible.

Starting today FUNimation will be streaming subtitles episodes of Phantom ~ Requiem for the Phantom TV which just started airing in Japan on April 2nd. The first four full episodes have been posted in the video section to enjoy. The show has an age verification drop down box, but you’re good to go afterwards. At the time of this posting, the server is doing just fine, but as the day progresses expect some need to pause and buffer due to traffic.
