Siren is proud to announce the release of several noitaminA titles to Australian and New Zealand audiences. noitaminA ("Animation" spelt backwards) is a weekly broadcasting timeslot on Japan's FujiTV created by FCC which showcases abstract, left of centre anime aimed at a mature age bracket and deviates from the stylistic and thematic restraints of contemporary anime.

Our first two releases will be WELCOME TO IRABU'S OFFICE (based on the novel by Hideo Okuda, author of the brilliant LALA PIPO) and THE TATAMI GALAXY (directed by Masaaki Yuasa of MINDGAME and KAIBA fame). February and March will see their respective releases and are currently available for pre-ordering.

Both works are far-out, humanist stories with some of the most creative hybrid animation going...and they're also no holds barred hilarious! HOUSE OF FIVE LEAVES will be next in line for 2011, with more information and pre-ordering available soon on the Siren website.

If you're old enough to remember when anime was fresh/new/cool or if you like an intelligent (albeit warped) story but are bored of the girls-with-guns and giant robot cliches, definitely check out some noitaminA!
