Fetch your reading glasses, kids! The Japanese limited edition of Studio 4°C’s anime omnibus Genius Party Beyond includes not one, but two storyboard books (one for Genius Party and once for Genius Party Beyond) with almost 600 pages per piece and a 120 page interview booklet named “Project Genius – The Making Book”. Also included in the box are three DVDs with the 82 minutes long main features, a making of and 100 minutes of interviews with the directors. As usually, English subtitles won’t be included when this babe hits the Japanese shelves on March 20th, 2009.

Check out this trailer/music video from Japanese singer Tamurpan and ask yourself if this release is worth ￥11,970 anyway.

In dem Musikvideo von Tamurapan, dem Soloprojekt der J-Popsängerin Tamura Ayumi, werden viele neue Szenen aus dem Genius Party Beyond Animeomnibus von Studio 4°C präsentiert. Der Song heißt Zero und wird im Abspann des Morgen in den japanischen Kinos anlaufenden Brainfucks Werks gespielt.

Die Kreativen bei Studio 4°C (Tekkonkinkreet, Mind Game, Amazing Nuts!) drehen mal wieder frei und präsentieren mit Genius Party Beyond der zweiten Teil ihres Genius Party Projekts. Beyond besteht aus fünf Teilen, die von den Regisseuren Koji Morimoto (Dimension Bomb), Mahiro Maeda (Gala), Tatsuyuki Tanaka (Tojin Kit), Shinya Ohira (Wanwa the Puppy) sowie Kazuto Nakazawa (Moondrive) angefertigt wurden. Mon amis von Catsuka haben den Trailer netterweise auf Dailymotion geschaufelt:

Den ersten Teil der Kurzfilmsammlung gibt es ab Juli käuflich zu erwerben, wann und wie Beyond erhältlich sein wird ist leider noch nicht bekannt.
