posted on by Andrew Osmond
On Monday October 31, Anime Limited will release Psycho-Pass The Movie as a Blu-ray/DVD Collectors Edition and a standard DVD. The Collectors Edition will include a 32-page booklet with film art and staff and cast interviews, plus a US Staff and Cast commentary on the Blu-ray disc.
Funimation has described the film's story:
In a futuristic Japan, the Sibyl System is charged with keeping the peace. When the state of SEAUn brings the Sibyl System in to test its effectiveness, it becomes a haven of peace and safety—for a time. Eventually, terrorists from SEAUn begin appearing in Japan, somehow slipping through the System's security and attacking from within. Desperate for answers, Inspector Akane Tsunemori is sent overseas to bring the terrorists to justice. But when her investigation forces her into a standoff with an old ally, will she be able to pull the trigger?
Manga Entertainment will release When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace on Blu-ray and DVD. Masanori Takahashi directed the series at animation Studio Trigger with series composition by Masahiko Otsuka. Satoshi Yamaguchi designed the characters for the anime, and Elements Garden provided the music.
The anime adapts Kota Nozomi's Inou Battle Within Everyday Life (Inō-Battle wa Nichijō-kei no Naka de/INOU-Battle in the Usually Daze.) novel series. In the original novel series' story, the five members of the literature club awakened with extraordinary powers half a year ago. Although the members expected to be thrown into a world of super-powered battles (inō-battle) at their school, their normal daily routine continued.
Funimation will release Yuri Kuma Arashi as a dual formal Blu-ray/DVD. Funimation described the story:
After an asteroid explosion and meteor shower lit up the sky over planet earth, strange adorable bears began to attack and devour humans. The earthlings responded with violence of their own, and in the end, a massive barrier – the Wall of Extinction – was erected to separate man from bear. This fragile peace lasted until two high school girls encounter a yuri flower blooming – only to be shaken by the piercing warning of the Bear Alarm! Once again, bear and man- or bear and girl -will be pitted against each other in a deadly and mysterious showdown—brought to you by Kunihiko Ikuhara, the director of Sailor Moon and Revolutionary Girl Utena.
Funimation will also release High School DxD BorN (the third season of High School DxD) as a dual formal Blu-ray/DVD.
