Revenger U.K Blu-ray Released Monday (Updated)

Update - The original version of this story claimed that Anime Limited was releasing the Kids on the Slope Collector's Blu-ray edition on March 4.

Grateful thanks to finlands-beret for the information.

On Monday March 4, Crunchyroll will release the series Revenger on Blu-ray. Crunchyroll has previously described the series:

"As master assassin Usui Yuen looks into a series of assassinations made on the grand samurai clan, the Satsuma, he encounters Kurima Raizo, member and survivor of one of the attacks. Together, they discover the true nature of these murders is bigger than over stolen resources. As they get closer to the truth, will they come out alive to exact revenge?"

Ribenjiya was credited with the original work. Shochiku, Ajia-do, and Nitroplus were credited with the show's planning. Masaya Fujimori (Kemono Jihen, Izetta: The Last Witch, Fairy Tail the Movie: Phoenix Priestess) directed the anime at Ajia-do. Nitroplus' Gen Urobuchi (Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero) was the original storywriter, and was also in charge of series scripts. Urobuchi also wrote the scripts alongside Nitroplus' Renji Ōki (Azur Lane, Bubble). Jiro Suzuki and Yūichi designed the characters, and Yuji Hosogoe adapted those designs for animation. Hosogoe was also the chief animation director alongside Yuki Nishioka and Emiko Endo. Jun Futamata composed the music.

Additionally, Hotaka Okamoto was the art director, Naomi Nakano was the color designer, Teppei Satō was the director of photography, and Akiko Fujita was the sound director. RetBear (unknown Vo: O2) performed the anime's opening theme song "Downtimer." Maaya Sakamoto performed the show's ending theme song "un_mute."

Crunchyroll release a Blu-ray of the series Handyman Saitō in Another World. The "heartwarming another world fantasy" manga centers on Saitō, an ordinary handyman who is reincarnated into another world. He forms a dungeon exploring party with Raelza, a beautiful and strong warrior; Morok, a powerful magician who due to his senility keeps forgetting spells; and Lafanpan, a cute but miserly fairy. His handyman experience is helpful for when they need to open a locked chest or fix their armor.

Toshiyuki Kubooka (Berserk: The Golden Age Arc) directed the anime at C2C. Kenta Ihara (Tomodachi Game) handled the series composition and script. Yōko Tanabe designed the characters. Tomotaka Ohsumi (Dagashi Kashi) composed the music. Yuichi Imaizumi (So I'm a Spider, So What?) was the sound director.

Teary Planet performed the anime's opening song "kaleidoscope," and konoco performed the ending song "Hidamari no Saido" (Sunny Spot's Saturation).

Ichitomo launched the manga on Kadokawa's ComicWalker service in 2018, and Kadokawa published the ninth volume on June 23. The manga has 450,000 copies in circulation, including digital copies.

MVM will release a Blu-ray of the second season of Tsurune: The Linking Shot.
