"Sword Art Online" Coming in August!

Aniplex of America announced at its panel at Anime Boston on Friday that the Sword Art Online television anime series will air on Toonami starting this August.

The show's dub cast stars Bryce Papenbrook as Kirito and Cherami Leigh as Asuna. Other cast members include Cassandra Lee as Leafa, Christine Marie Cabanos as Silica, Sarah Williams as Lisbeth, and Patrick Seitz as Agil.

Sword Art Online adapts Reki Kawahara's light novel series of the same name. The story revolves around a boy named Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya who enters a virtual-reality, massively multi-player online (MMO) world called "Sword Art Online." There is no escape from this world unless the player clears the game, but "game over" means the death of the player. Crunchyroll streamed the 25-episode series outside of Japan as it aired.

Aniplex of America also outlined its home video release of Sword Art Online on Blu-ray Disc and DVD, listed below the break.

Catch up on One Piece NOW!

Well, One Piece returns to Toonami next week, and since we're starting rather late in the show's run, FUNimation is now letting us play catch up.

In the event that some of you out there don't have the DVDs or haven't seen the series beyond where Toonami left off, FUNi has had a handy website running for the past few years where you could stream the uncut dub episodes for free. Unfortunately, large batches of episodes sporadically went on and off the site every few days, providing an incomplete picture.

Well, FUNi has finally decided to be merciful and now all 205 episodes are available for streaming. No episodes are missing. AT ALL!

Fresh from the Tumblr:

This one's going out to all the ladies.

Toon Zone reports that Viz has acquired the classic series Sailor Moon for European release. The series will be distributed on DVD to Germany and the French-speaking countries in Europe. All 200 episodes of the series--the original, R, S, SuperS, and Stars (yes, the series the U.S. never got)--will have audio tracks in German, French, and the original Japanese. They're set for a release either in late 2013 or early 2014.
