Out This Week: The Spine Of Night, Fleischer Cartoons, He-Man and She-Ra and More

 

Welcome back to a later-than-usual Out This Week- pardon the interruption. We've got another very quiet week- not unusual as we approach the summer months. New this week is the complete "classic" He-Man and She-Ra boxset on DVD- just in time for the new Travis Knight Masters Of The Universe live-action film. Also out is a 4K release of the cult fantasy adult animation The Spine Of Night from Shudder, the first volume of the best of Fleischer Cartoons, featuring Betty Boop, Bimbo and more, and isekai anime From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated.

New in the UK this week is just the one release- the latest Blu-Ray volume of Naruto Shippuden.

All information is correct to the best of our knowledge and is subject to change.

From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! (Sentai Filmworks, TV-14) "Kenzaburo Tondabayashi was a loving husband and father until he was hit by a truck saving a young boy and woke to find himself in the world of his daughter’s favorite videogame. Even weirder: he’s now inexplicably Grace, the story’s villainess! Of course, being a nice guy at heart, he has no idea how to be a “mean girl” and everything he tries only makes the plot deviate further from the one he’s seen his daughter follow. But is that such a bad thing? It may be if he wants to finish the game’s story properly so he can return to the real world in From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated!"

The Spine Of Night 4K (Shudder, UR) "To put an end to the eternal vigil of the all-powerful guardian of the last light of the gods, an unfathomable source of inexhaustible cosmic knowledge and power, Tzod, the fierce high priestess of the great jungle swamp called Bastal, braves the elements ascending an unforgiving, snow-covered mountaintop. As her long and arduous journey finally comes to an end, Tzod encounters the ancient sentinel of the bloom and its mystical blue flame and recounts the tale of how a single spore has changed the world below: a blood-soaked, centuries-old story of corruption, greed, tyranny, and destruction against the backdrop of the never-ending quest for control, influence, and illumination. But, humankind's atrocities echo through eternity, and heroes are always those who are expendable."
