Supply Chains

Supply chain professionals in the media and entertainment sector are constantly seeking ways to optimize processes and capitalize on emerging trends. Recent industry activity provides valuable competitive intelligence.

AnimEigo, under its parent company MediaOCD, has secured the home media license for “A Time Slip of 10,000 Years: Prime Rose” from SkySet Entertainment. This acquisition signifies a strategic move to tap into the enduring appeal of Osamu Tezuka’s work. A Blu-ray release is slated for 2026.

Osamu Tezuka, a prolific figure in Japanese manga and anime with over 700 manga and 500 anime episodes, including iconic series such as “Astro Boy” and “Kimba the White Lion,” holds significant influence in the industry.

“A Time Slip of 10,000 Years: Prime Rose” explores a dystopian future where cities are displaced in time and transformed into battlegrounds. The narrative follows Gai Tanbara and Emiya as they confront a tyrannical force. The original manga series ran from July 1982 to June 1983 in Weekly Shonen Champion. Due to the manga’s unfinished status at the time, the anime adaptation features a distinct storyline.

Notably, Tezuka resisted requests for increased fanservice for the character Prime Rose, maintaining his artistic vision for the 1983 film. Prime Rose reappeared later in “Astro Boy: Omega Factor.”

This move by AnimEigo highlights the continued value of classic anime properties and the potential for revenue generation through Blu-ray releases. Supply chain professionals can leverage this information to inform decisions regarding content acquisition, distribution strategies, and target audience engagement. Analyzing the performance of this release will offer insights into the market demand for remastered classic anime and the effectiveness of home media distribution in the digital age.
