About The Skull Man
Otomo City: where freedom and justice have atrophied to the bone; where conspiracy rules the day and death stalks the night… Death in the form of the Skull Man, a literal Grim Reaper whose skeletal grin presages grisly mayhem and murder, even to the monstrous mutants that haunt the city’s underworlds! Now, to investigate a bizarre slaying, journalist Minagami Hayato and photographer Kiriko Mamiya must stalk this ultimate predator, through a festering cadaver of a city where the corruption flows in rivers as deep and foul as the sins of the reigning elite, and unearth a secret so shocking that an entire city has been turned into a tomb to contain! In a nightmarish necropolis where nothing is as it seems, vengeance comes in the form of a living Death’s-Head in The Skull Man!

DVD Release date: 2/2/2010 from Sentai Filmworks

In a strange dark age, the Divine Empire’s path of conquest seems unstoppable, endlessly devouring its weaker neighbors in a brutal cycle of subjugation and pillage.

Choosing to side instead with the priest’s intended sacrifice, the Gaelic Priestess Riannon, the resurrected Lord Arawn joins with Riannon and her brother Arthur, as they begin to assemble the force that will bring the Divine Empire to its knees! Wizards, archers, sword masters and even pixies take arms as the ancient Celtic, Gaelic, British and Roman myths of Albion receive a spectacular new animated interpretation in

All Premium Subscriptions are 25% off!

Through the end of the year, all Premium Subscriptions are reduced to 25% off! Take the stress out of gift giving! There's always that one distant cousin, unsavory aunt, or long-lost twin who you forgot to buy a present for. Well, rather than make the emergency stop at the gas station, just head over to Anime Network for a Gift Subscription!
(While you're there, don't forget to pick one up for yourself!)

Not only that, but they'll also have an early copy of the first episode of The Skull Man starting on 12/25. So if you want to catch it for free, you'll have to find a place to hide away from Aunt Milly and her never-ending package of socks and sweaters. (I'm guessing. I've never had one of those types of aunts.) Another newer series is starting up just in time for this promo: the first two episodes of Tears to Tiara, pictured above, a fantasy adventure based on Celtic and Gaelic mythos, go up on 12/24.

And as a final bonus: a premium subscription to the site is 25% off. So if you want easy access to stuff like Blue Drop, El-Hazard, Ghost Hound, and Clannad, well, now you know where to go.
