OceanVeil Adds Metal Skin Panic Madox-01, Bubblegum Crash, Time of Eve, 2 More Anime from AnimEigo

WWWave Corporation's new anime streaming platform OceanVeil announced on Wednesday that it is streaming the following anime from AnimEigo and its new partnership with MVD Entertainment. OceanVeil had previously said that it would stream more "mainstream" anime. Unlike most of its library of adult anime, the following five titles are PG-13 and part of the service's "Safe-for-Work" section.

• Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01
• AD Police Files
• Bubblegum Crash (pictured right)
• Riding Bean
• Time of Eve

Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 streams with its English dub, and AD Police Files streams in Japanese with English subtitles. The remaining titles stream in both English and Japanese with English subtitles.

The Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 anime premiered in December 1987. The OVA was AnimEigo's first anime release in 1990. RetroCrush is streaming the anime. AnimEigo ran a successful Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign in 2021 to release the OVA on Blu-ray Disc.

AD Police began as a spinoff of the science-fiction original video anime series Bubblegum Crisis. AnimEigo had released the 1990 AD Police original video anime series on videotape and DVD under the title AD Police Files.

AnimEigo released the HD remaster version of the Bubblegum Crash anime on Blu-ray Disc on January 21. The three-episode original video anime (OVA) is a sequel to the Bubblegum Crisis anime, and it debuted in 1991. AnimEigo previously released the series on VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD.

The 1989 Riding Bean OAV is based on a manga by Kenichi Sonoda (Gunsmith Cats manga, Otaku no Video character design). AnimEigo released Riding Bean in 2002 on a dual-audio DVD, marking the company's first anime release along with MADOX-01.

AnimEigo released the Time of Eve film and ONA on Blu-ray Disc on December 10. Time of Eve originally debuted as a 6-episode series in 2008 and was later recut into a feature film in 2010.
