Just got a press release from Section23 Films, which has announced that they're releasing Gintama on DVD! For those unfamiliar, Gintama is a long ongoing and very quirky shounen comedy/action series. VIZ Media has been putting out the manga for some time, but the anime has remained unlicensed, even though it's really quite huge in Japan-- perhaps VIZ "A-List!" Media didn't think the aforementioned quirkiness would do well with mainstream audiences? (They're probably not wrong.)  Anyway, Section23 is going to release Gintama starting this April 27th-- 13 episodes for an MSRP of $39.99. There is no specific word about dubs, so I am inclined to assume that it will be sub-only.  Also due out in April are Hidamari Sketch x365 Complete Collection, Asatte no Houkou (newly titled Living for the Day After Tomorrow) Complete Collection, live-action Space Rangers Complete Collection, Le Portrait de Petite Cossette (yummy horror movie), and live-action Venus Ranger.  Press release!  Section 23 Announces April Slate
