Manga Entertainment UK Confirms Home Video Release for MFKZ

Manga Entertainment UK have recently confirmed that MFKZ will receive a home video release from the anime publisher in 2019; with a current release date set as the 2nd February 2019.

MFKZ had previously received a limited cinematic release via Manga Entertainment UK but now the publisher have confirmed that the film will receive a Blu-Ray and DVD release later next year.

Synopsis: Genre-mashup MFKZ is the love-child of French comic artist Guillaume “Run” Renard and ultra-hip Japanese animation house Studio 4°C, creators of Tekkonkinkreet, Genius Party and Mind Game. The Tekkonkinkreet dream team of Shoujirou Nishimi and art director Shinji Kimura reunite to bring to life a dark but stunningly animated sci-fi vision that mixes anime, film noir, Lucha Libre, and gang culture in an orgy of first-person shooter mayhem.

The film centers on young Angelino and his skull-and-flame pal Vinny, who live in a seedy tenement in an LA-inspired dystopian metropolis – a burnt-out, gang and cockroach-ridden neo-urban hell that makes Blade Runner’s LA seem like The Brady Bunch. Following a scooter accident Angelino starts experiencing migraines and strange hallucinations, as well as fits of rage-inspired superpowers, as he slowly awakens to the truth of his origins: he is half human and half Macho, a supernatural alien race that is bent on taking over the planet.

Specific features, such as bonus details and language options, have not yet been confirmed; but we can expect additional details to be confirmed closer to release later next year. In the meantime MFKZ is scheduled for a Blu-Ray and DVD release on 2nd February 2019.
