New Anime Company Formed; Licenses Kodomo No Jikan

Exclusive First Look At The Cover Artlogo
Seattle, WA - SeAnime, a new localization house headed by former Microsoft employee Susan Modny has not only announced its existence today, but also their first title, fan favorite Kodomo no Jikan. Retitled for N. America as Playground Love, the company initially plans to release it dub-only using the original broadcast master (not the uncensored Blu-ray version). Dub duties will be handled in Calgary by Blue Water Studios with script localization handled by Jeff Nimoy. The MSRP will be $34.99 per 3 episode volume. Modny also noted they were looking forward to licensing other anime cult classics, though openly admitted that a lot hinged on this release.

In response to fan questions, Modny noted that usage of the broadcast version was informed by FUNimation's recent announcement of their acquisition of Vampire Bund. "If FUNimation questions the safety of releasing Bund uncut in the current market, we feel it'd be prudent to play it safe with Playground Love."
