After picking up the rights for the series back in May of this year, Manga Entertainment UK has now scheduled their release for the series. The full twelve episode season, which we reviewed the US edition of on Blu-ray here, is now scheduled for an October 10th, 2016 release priced at £24.84 on DVD. It looks like there isn’t going to be a Blu-ray release of the show, at least not at the moment. Funimation released the series previously in North America in bilingual form that brought back the cast as needed from the original Soul Eater series while adding some new characters.
The cast for the series includes:
- Tsugumi – Bryn Apprill
- Anya – Alexis Tipton
- Meme – Lindsay Seidel
- Shaula Gorgon – Elizabeth Maxwell
- Akane Hoshi – Ian Sinclair
- Clay Sizemore – Bryce Papenbrook
The series adapts the spinoff manga of the same name by Atsushi Ohkubo. The production had Masakazu Hashimoto directing it at Bones. Soul Eater proper had its anime release done here by FUNimation while Yen Press has been releasing both Soul Eater and Soul Eater Not! manga.
Plot concept: Get ready to meet the newest class at Death Weapon Meister Academy! Tsugumi Harudori and her outrageous friends make up the NOT class at this stylish school dedicated to training living, breathing weapons and uniting them with the Meisters who’ll wield them! Soul Eater fanatics will be psyched to meet these epic new characters – and catch up with all their favorites from the original series. Don’t miss a minute of the adventure as Tsugumi and her pals weave their own exciting tale of deadly life at DWMA!
