FUNi Acquires Kamui Gaiden & RoboGeisha

Funimation has announced its acquisition of distribution rights to last year’s live action films Kamui Gaiden and RoboGeisha. Both movies will hit American DVD later this year.

Director Yoichi Sai’s Kamui Gaiden film is an adaptation of Sanpei Shirato’s 1965 ninja manga serial. RoboGeisha is the latest action/splatter comedy from writer/director Noboru Iguchi, the director of Machine Girl and Hajirai Machine Girl.

Can’t say I’m surprised to see FUNi pick up Kamui Gaiden after licensing Ichi and Shinobi ~Heart Under Blade~. But I am surprised to see RoboGeisha go to FUNimation rather than Media Blasters.
