Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva, an animated film based on the Nintendo DS puzzle adventures, is to receive an official North American DVD release later this year.
Set between the first two games in the series, the feature-length anime was made available in Japan on December 19, 2009, and in Europe during October of the following year.
Pacing in The Eternal Diva is such that viewers have time to try and figure out some of the puzzles confronting Layton and chums before the cast themselves do so.
Whereas Manga Entertainment UK and Kazé handled the European releases, Viz Media will be bringing The Eternal Diva to North American shores.
Other game-to-anime conversions include Dead Space: Aftermath and Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic, which supported releases of their 2010 counterparts.
Halo Legends did the same for Halo: Reach with a compilation of animated shorts, in the style of The Animatrix.
The long-running Pokémon series has been particularly successful at straddling both games and animation: Pokémon Red and Green debuted in 1996, with the corresponding TV series bounding onto Japanese networks in 1997.
