Twitterer JLSkun (http://twitter.com/jlskun), of anime blog The Golden Waste (http://thegoldenwaste.wordpress.com/), tweeted some interesting news (http://twitter.com/jlskun/status/9945242541) recently that was caught by Nebs (http://nebs66.livejournal.com/1137015.html). Apparently his local MovieStop shop is listing a preorder for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (http://www.animevice.com/the-girl-who-leapt-through-time/13-1227/) director Mamoru Hosoda (http://www.animevice.com/mamoru-hosoda/20-60118/)'s latest film, Summer Wars (http://www.animevice.com/summer-wars/13-1271/), with a release date in August. No distributor was listed, and JLSkun reported that it and the other preorders he spotted were all removed when he checked back later...
...Also listed are Xam'd: Lost Memories (http://www.animevice.com/xamd-lost-memories/11-2603/), a sci-fi anime which was simulcast in the US via the PSN, for August 10th-- 13 episodes on DVD for $49.98 or Blu-Ray for $99.98 --and the anime adaptation of the movie Ultraviolet, titled Ultraviolet 044 (http://www.animevice.com/ultraviolet-code-044/11-2601/), twelve episodes for $59.98 on DVD or $99.98 on Blu-Ray, due July 13th. These two both did have distributors listed: Sony (http://www.animevice.com/sony/17-132/)...

Summer Wars. DVD and BD. August 24. $24.98 DVD, $39.98 BD. No distributor listed.

Xam'd. Episode 1-13. DVD $49.98, BD $99.98. August 10.

Ultraviolet 044. Episode 1-12. DVD $59.98. BD $99.98. July 13. Both Xam'd and Ultraviolet are Sony.
Interesting... Summer Wars has been getting so much praise, I can't not check it out if this is true. Ultraviolet was a joke of a movie, so I'm not going to assume an anime spinoff is anything great. From what I saw of Xam'd, it was good, so I might buy the Blu-ray of that if the price is a LOT lower.
