One series that suffered a bit in its release pattern here years ago is that of Fortune Quest. Originally broadcast back in 1997 and getting a DVD release in North America from Media Blasters back in 2001 with just the first volume released I believe, TC Entertainment will be bringing this out on Blu-ray on April 24th, 2015 for 21,600 yen. The show is being released with all twenty-six episodes in one box set across three Blu-ray discs with the series being digitally remastered. No details about extras are available at this time, nor any packaging details.
Plot concept: Our story is set in another world, parallel to ours. We meet Pastel, an orphan girl, 18 years old, who lives with a group of adventurers in a small house. Pastel works as a writer and also a “mapper”, charting towns, the countryside, rivers and mountains with sketches and illustrations.
She is highly respected by her friends as her intelligence and honesty are extraordinary. Living in the house with Pastel, we meet Clay, a young swordsman; Trapp, the son of a bandit chieftain; Kitton, literally a working dictionary and a descendant of the Family Kittons; Knoll, a big guy a with tender heart; Whitey, a baby dragon; and Rumy, an infant sorcerer of the tribe “Elf.” Together this odd group become involved in many mysterious adventures from treasure hunting, to searching for a missing person, to challenging a riddle, to many more unexpected quests.
