Comments Alex: Seasons 1 & 2 were licensed for US release by Bandai USA, and went out of print when Bandai USA stopped being A Thing That Exists, and has yet to be licensed rescued. This is also the first release in the show to get a dub, I can’t get any information on whether this is a new dub by Section23, or if they used the existing dub for the Australian DVD release and TV broadcast.

Time Of Eve, The Movie
Amazon
  • Blu-Ray: US, CAN
Comments Anime film based around a coffee shop called “Time of Eve”, where Humans & Androids can meet together in harmony (indeed, it’s required to go in), with some semi-anthology elements based around what’s going on in the lives of the show’s customers. Think of it as a mix between Clarke’s Tales From The White Hart and Robinson’s Callahan’s series and Issac Asimov’s Robots universe. Adapted from a OVA series that is currently available for streaming internationally on Crunchyroll.com.
