The Media Blasters Twitter page is giving us some nice extras for the anime Kite. The first is part of an interview with writer and director Yasuomi Umetsu that you can get on the Blu-ray.
“I’ve had a piece I’ve wanted to do since my twenties,” Umetsu revealed about his inspiration. “And I was hoping there was a chance to do it with this offer. . . . I wanted to make a story focusing on an assassin in Japan.”
With the success of Kite we co-invested in Kite Liberator. The talented Umetsu created these pieces. Here is a piece of the interview you can get on Kite Liberator blu-ray. #mediablasters #kiteliberator #anime #animeonbluray #umetsu pic.twitter.com/4HStzmOYfw
