MediaOCD Acquires A Time Slip of 10000 Years: Prime Rose anime release from SkySet Entertainment
Humberto SaabedraAnimeEigo closed its industry panel reintroducing the stalwart anime publishing company to a new generation of anime fans at AnimeNYC by announcing that the anime special A Time Slip of 10000 Years: Prime Rose has been acquired by parent MediaOCD from previous licensor SkySet Entertainment. This development follows a previous announcement made by the aforementioned licensor in April of 2025 that saw it initially confirm a release in June of this year, before being delayed indefinitely with no reason given once the intended release window came and went.
SkySet Entertainment describes the anime’s story:
A powerful entity known as Death Mask hurls Kujukuri City, Japan, and Dallas, Texas, 10,000 years into the future, reshaping them into a ruthless battleground where only the strongest survive. Determined to shatter this tyrant’s hold on time itself, Gai Tanbara ventures into the dystopian future. Along the way, he meets Emiya, a fierce warrior fighting to reclaim her city from the darkness. Together, they confront the horrors of a shattered world and the sinister forces threatening the fate of humanity!
The A Time Slip of 10000 Years: Prime Rose anime special first aired in Japan on August 21, 1983, as part of the charity program 24-Hour Television: Love Saves the Earth. The anime is based on Tezuka’s Prime Rose manga, that serialized in Akita Publishing’s Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine from 1982 to 1983.
The previously announced English dub cast included:
KyLeigh Zimmerer as Emiya Tachi
Jacob Eiseman as Gai Tanbara
Christina Costello as Bunretsu Tanbara
David Wald as Pilar
John Swasey as Jinba
Additional English dub cast include Bryan Massey, Bradley Gareth, and more.
The license was revealed hours before the panel on social media, complete with the confirmation of the acquisition from SkySet Entertainment.
