On February 10, you will be able to order the soundtrack for the anime Aldnoah Zero. Now if you haven't watched Aldnoah Zero, then stop reading and go to Crunchyroll RIGHT NOW and catchup! All you need to know is that it has Martians (humans) fighting earthlings and MECHS (called Kataphrakts) and well.... do you need more? Now being a Japanese import, it will cost a bit more than a standard US soundtrack CD, with a "Store Price" of $39.99. You can buy it from Rightstuf.com Full Press Release after the break

Volume One of the Anime hit Kill La Kill will land July 15 in 3 versions! A DVD, a Blu-Ray, and a limited edition containing both with more! We're excited, are you? Read the full press release after the break

We here at the Grotto are always extremely happy when an anime title gets a theatrical release, but, at least for us here, our home theater surpasses our closest theater showing Madoka by leaps and bounds. Others will have some much better options to watch this. From the looks of it, it will be mostly art house and independent theaters. Either way, support this so we can have more titles theatrically! See if you can watch it on the big screen here: MadokaMagicaUSA.com/rebellion Full PR and after the break

Aniplex has announced that Kill La Kill, Magi: The Kingdom Of Magic and VALVRAVE: The Liberator's 2nd season will be simulcast online this fall! For the anime fan, this is great as you do not have to wait months or years to watch a legit version of a cool anime series! Read the full PR after the break!

To be honest, I have yet to watch a single episode of Sword Arts Online, but this may change that. Unlike Aniplex's previous Limited Editions, this is US based, and thus fit right at home with most people's budget! The Blu-Rays will include some nice swag in the form of soundtrack CD's for Volumes 1 and 3, Cast interviews on Volumes 2 and 4, a 16 page booklet and more. Aniplex, please take my money! Read the full PR after the break!

Another title to be released by Aniplex, Nisemonogatari is the sequel to Bakemonogatari, and will be on sale on February 27th! Since I personally an not familiar with the series, I'll let the Aniplex PR handle the rest! Read the full PR after the jump!

Yes, also known by its full name, Ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai, will get a US release date close to it's Japanese date. You get all 12 episodes + the OAVs on four Blu-Rays on February 27th for a staggering MSRP of $329.98! While that does seem astronomical for the US, that seems to be about average for Japan. Unfortunately, we are not in Japan, so only the most hardcore of anime fans and those with disposable income will be able to buy this title. Read the full PR after the jump
