Section23 Announces May Releases

Humberto Saabedra

Anime distributor Section 23 has announced its latest wave of new titles in Hell Girl Season 2, Eyeshield 21, Asu no Yoichi and the Appleseed feature film on Blu-Ray with a new English dub featuring the cast of Appleseed: Ex Machina.

Funimation currently holds the license to the first season of Hell Girl, though the licensing of the second season by Sentai Filmworks has led many to believe that the first season did not do very well in terms of sales volume for Funimation.

All of the above titles are slated for release in May, with pricing and specification as follows for the rest of the slate:
