After 24 years of getting warmed up, South Park finally hits its stride on its hilarious and surprising 25th season! This release of the Emmy® Award winning classic includes 6 episodes.

SOUTH PARK: THE COMPLETE TWENTY-FIFTH SEASON stars creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with Mona Marshall (“Blue Exorcist”), April Stewart (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) and Jessica Makinson (“Maron”).

The incredible action fantasy, New Gods: Yang Jian is a stunningly animated epic rich in ancient lore and Chinese mythology. New Gods: Yang Jian is set to make its home entertainment debut on digital platforms April 11, 2023 and on Blu-Ray™ + DVD April 25, 2023, from GKIDS, with distribution from Shout! Factory. Fans of the spellbinding anime can enjoy New Gods: Yang Jian in its original Mandarin language version as well as in an all-new English language dub with this Blu-Ray™ + DVD release, which is currently available for pre-order on ShoutFactory.com and GKIDS.com. The initial run of the Blu-Ray™ + DVD release will also include a beautiful 11 x 18 limited edition poster inside.

Directed by ZHAO Ji, New Gods: Yang Jian is the second installment of the studio’s “New Gods” series of animated action-fantasy epics inspired by Chinese mythological figures, following the 2021 feature New Gods: Nezha Reborn. Enter the New Gods universe where Chinese mythology is reimagined in a wildly original, steampunk-inspired world. The latest feature from powerhouse Chinese animation studio Light Chaser Animation (White Snake, New Gods: Nezha Reborn), the film presents a timeless, high-flying adventure featuring one of the most legendary mythic figures.

 

Thirteen years after Yang Jian imprisoned his sister, the once-powerful hero also known as Erlang Shen now scrapes by as a poor bounty hunter. When a mysterious woman hires him, Yang Jian soon finds himself chasing down a familiar figure. He must stop Chenxiang, his long-lost nephew, who searches for a powerful, but dangerous artifact. As Yang Jian confronts his past, he must face treacherous vigilantes seeking to bring catastrophic destruction.

The Blu-Ray™ + DVD release of New Gods: Yang Jian follows the nationwide theatrical run in January 2023. Domestically released in 2022, it was the top film at the mainland China box office, earning $19.8 million on its opening weekend, and climbed to a current domestic box office of over $77 million.
