Bandai surprised a lot of people at their panel today making a big splash in the AX pool. At their panel today, Bandai announced that they have licensed the Eureka Seven: Pocketful of Rainbows movie (which will be retitled “Eureka Seven -good night, sleep tight, young lovers-.” No release date has been set for the film but it will be getting a Fathom Events theatrical screening at a later date. Tickets go on sale for this August 21^st. Once again, I’m not a Eureka Seven fan so I need all of you to be excited for me since this is a pretty sweet announcement.

In other announcement news, Bandai Visual Japan will be teaming up with Japanese music producer Lantis. The new partnership takes effect late this month or next month and will provide fans in the US and Canada with anime music via iTunes. Now THAT is something that I can get excited about on my own!
