FUNimation Announces "Space Dandy," "A Certain Scientific Railgun S" and "Red Data Girl" Plans

FUNimation's announcements from this weekend's  Anime Boston convention included home video plans for A Certain Scientific Railgun S and Red Data Girl as well as when to expect the second part of Space Dandy. 


 


A Two part DVD release of Railgun S is scheduled for this summer.



Synopsis:


Something sinister is growing in Academy City. The shadows are filled with whispers of a project to clone one of the super-powered students known as espers. High-ranking master of electricity Mikoto Misaka laughs off these stories until she comes face to face with a copy of herself. The duplicates are real, and are being mass-produced from Misaka’s DNA, making each one of them a little piece of her.


 


These clones—her sisters—are being systematically murdered in a series of experiments designed to turn a sadistic killer into the strongest esper in history. Misaka vows to save her copies and destroy the project, but this might be one fight she can’t win alone. High-energy battles and intense action explode in this continuation of the Railgun series from the creator of A Certain Magical Index.


 


Red Data Girl will be available on DVD on June 17, 2014. The dub cast was announced at the event.

Izumiko is a fifteen year old outcast who was raised in seclusion at an ancient shrine hidden deep within the forest. This mysterious teenager destroys any electrical device she attempts to use, and her painful shyness has left her with few, if any, friends. Her world begins to evolve after enrolling in Houjou Academy, a school home to students of supernatural origins. Accompanied by her fated guardian, the brooding monk-in-training Miyuki, Izumiko soon discovers the shocking truth about herself: she is a vessel for the spirit of a powerful and vengeful goddess from a time long since passed. As her bond with Miyuki grows stronger, the spirit lurking within Izumiko begins to awaken. Can this fragile beauty learn to control her newfound power -- or will the secret she carries make her the enemy of all mankind?




Space Dandy was confirmed for a second season and will be coming to Adult Swim in July 2014. So, the US will be getting it when Japan does.
