Media Factory set its plans for the home video release for Unlimited Fafnir a bit ago, but now they’re starting to reveal a bit more about it with the cover artwork for the first installment debuting. Only a small version is available at the moment and hopefully we’ll get a good look at the overall packaging for it soon, but for fans they’ve now got their first look ta the general design. The series is getting a six volume release that will begin on March 25th, 2015 and run monthly from there on until completion. The Blu-ray releases are priced at 7,128 yen each while the DVD releases are priced at 6,372 yen each.
Basic details for the releases are set with the first volume having some good first press items such as a drama CD and sixteen page booklet with new manga by the original author, Kaoto Kawai. The release will also come with an end card postcard with two planned. On disc extras include the live action cast doing things and the promotional videos and commercials.
The series is currently being simulcast by Crunchyroll.
The series was animated at Diomedea with Keizou Kusakawa directing with Jun Takahashi while Shoko Yasuda is handling the character designs. The series is stars Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Yū Mononobe, Rina Hidaka as Iris Freyja and Manami Numakura as Mitsuki Mononobe.
The light novels got a manga adaptation back in March, which is usually a good sign that there’s some potential further interest there in the property that can make the logical and structural leap to animated form.
