Discotek has announced that they have acquired the rights to the classic anime film, Memories and that they plan to release it in 2021 with a brand-new English dub adaptation.

Memories is an anime movie co-produced by Madhouse Studios and Studio 4°C, and it also was co-directed by Tensai Okamura, Kouji Morimoto and Katsuhiro Otomo. It is a collection of three short movies, each directed by one different director and every one are adaptations of three of Otomo’s short stories.

The three back-to-back anime films by three different directors make up this sci-fi trilogy three years in the making. In the chilling “Magnetic Rose,” engineers on a spacecraft board an abandoned space station and encounter disturbing paranormal forces. A young lab worker accidentally swallows a chemical weapon and becomes a walking killing machine in “Stink Bomb.” In “Cannon Fodder,” a young boy and his father fight for survival in a city functioning on paranoia.

The Florida-based anime distributor has also announced that they have acquired the rights to 1001 Nights including a seldom seen English dub adaptation.
