101 Films to Release RahXephon and Lady Death on DVD

File this under slightly ‘old news’  but 101 Films, the distributor who released Elfen Lied earlier in the year, will shortly be releasing Lady Death and RahXephon later this year.

Both titles were originally released into the UK by ADV Films but now 101 Films will be re-releasing them into the UK, with both titles set to arrive on the 26th August 2013. Futhermore RahXephon will be released as a ‘complete collection’ with both the TV Series and Movie bundled into one box.

Lady Death:

Since Lady Death is a feature-length-movie based upon the US Comic Book, it will be presented on a single DVD Disc.

Her legend begins in the 15th Century, stripped of her innocence through her father’s betrayal, a pious, young woman, Hope, is sentenced to a trial by fire. She reluctantly accepts Lucifer’s offer of life in hell over a hideous painful death. Lucifer’s offer takes a diabolical twist as she discovers her true origins and the existing fate of her lost love and departed mother.

Unable to corrupt a soul of such purity, Lucifer banishes Hope to the horrors of hell, where she must find the strength and courage to survive and ultimately return to free the souls of the ones she loves. Together with the valiant outcast, Cremator and her trusted companions, Vassago and the Nameless Wolves, she is transformed into the powerful warrior LADY DEATH and challenges the Lord of Lies for control of Hell itself.

RahXephon:

This 101 Films release of RahXephon will feature the entire series along with its feature length movie across a variety of DVD Discs.

It is a new reality. For 15 years, the remnants of the human race have fought against the alien Mu and their unstoppable giant Dolem; a battle mankind seems destined to lose. But deep within the captured city of Tokyo, where time flows on a different path and mind-wiped citizens do not even know that they have been conquered, there is something that the Mu fears more than all of mankind’s weapons.

To find that secret, one young woman must penetrate the domed walls of Tokyo Jupiter and find a single young man, a young man upon whom the fate of all humanity depends… for in his heart lies the power of RahXephon, and with it all the worlds can be remade.

Lady Death and RahXephon are currently listed for release on the 26th August 2013 and both are currently available to pre-order from Anime-On-Line.
