Siren Visual got things fired up awhile ago with some new announcements and they’re following it up with a few more this week. The company has announced that they’ve acquired the rights to Aria: The Animation for release on April 19th, 2012 and Golgo 13 which will have the first thirteen episodes released on May 17th. You can find further discussion on this announcement here. Aria has had all of its seasons released in North American through Nozomi Entertainment while Sentai Filmworks is currently in the middle of releasing Golgo 13.

There are two pages set up for them on Siren’s site: Aria the Animation / Golgo 13

Aria Plot Concept: Set in the early 24th Century (that’s a few hundred years from now) against the backdrop of the city of Neo Venezia on the planet Mars. No longer the barren red planet, Mars has been flooded, inhabited and is something of a tourist hub for those looking for rest, relaxation and a gondola ride – the primary mode of travel in Neo Venezia. The Undines are professional gondoliers, tour guides for the people passing through. Akari Mizunashi is an Undine in training and this is a piece of her story.

ARIA: The Animation is total relaxation in an aquatic-utopian sci-fi kinda way! The complete 13 episode set will be released in April and pre-orders are open right now.

Golgo 13 Plot Concept: Looking for something a little more…intense? Golgo 13 might quench your thirst for bullets, blood and babes…

People say he’s a ghost. A machine. A monster. He’s Golgo 13, the most feared assassin in the world, the professional’s professional, the sniper of snipers. He’s back to keep you glued to the screen (and away from the windows).

Part 1 is due for release in May and will contain episodes 1 to 13, with Part 2 following shortly after.
