The Red Ribbon Army (self-described as “2una meets Elliot Smith…you know, something underground”) released a split-EP with Antique Row last month.

Support your fellow fans, and their awesome music — this is the kind of music you should be listening to, anyway. Check them out over on their MySpace page.

Toei has revealed the covers for their next three DVDs of the Z Dragon Box individual disc release. Each of these discs will contain sixepisodes, covering episodes 73 thru 90. These three DVDs are set to be released 01 March 2006. You can order any of the released discs or pre-order any of these three discs at Amazon Japan.

Well, sorta. The second so-called “Lost Episodes” disc (“Rejection”; DBGT episodes 4-6) is listed on the searches as $17.99, but going into the page will reveal a ridiculous price of only $9.99. If you need it, now is the time to grab it. Unfortunately, all of the others are still full-price (but cheap enough, comparatively speaking). It seems that this particular disc is shipping from a distributor other than Amazon — they may have a surplus.

While you are at it, pre-order movie 12 for $16.99.

The cover art for the second of the two upcoming Japanese CD sets has finally appeared online. The “BGM Collection” (3 CDs; ￥4500) is due out 22 February 2006.

HMV.co.jp has a track listing for this set, which may change before its final release. With that said, there is quite a lot of music from the Dragon Ball Z movies thrown on this set, which will make many people happy.

“Shin Budokai” seems to have a date set of 04 April 2006 in Japan. In terms of the American version, it looks like GameStop.com has slightly updated their listing to read a “Pre-Release” of 07 March 2006. A comparison of the two countries’ cover arts for the game can be seen below:

It appears that FUNimation plans to give Dragon Ball Z movie 12 (“Fusion Reborn”) a theatrical release in select theaters.

FUNimation has actually created a new website (“FUNimation Films“) for the purpose of “spreading the word”:

FUNimation Films is here and fans will find a great new way to enjoy their anime. Starting March 2006, you’ll be able to catch FUNimation’s biggest hits on the screen in feature length movies as well as special previews of the hottest series to come out of Japan before their DVD release. Each month will bring you a new movie or series premiere at your local theater. You’ll get the chance to get all your friends together to enjoy anime on the big screen!

FUNimation Films will be going nationwide in March at select theaters starting with a double feature of Dragon Ball Z Fusion Reborn and Dragon Ball Z The Return of Cooler. Following that, fans will get the opportunity to catch a sneak peek of the upcoming series Basilisk in April. Our first three months on the big screen will also feature Trinity Blood in May.

To help spread the word about anime on the big screen, FUNimation Films will be working with Operation Anime. If you’re involved with a club and want to get involved, make sure you’re a part!

So there you have it. It is a little late notice from FUNimation, but as soon as we know which theaters will be playing the movie, we will let you know. Thanks to Blitzen from the forum for letting us know about this.

The cover art for the North American release of “Shin Budokai” on the PSP has been released.
