With the 2006 anime TV series Zegapain getting a new compilation film produced that’s set for an October 15th, 2016 theatrical launch as Zegapain ADP, the promotion continues to roll on. The latest that we get from Bandai Visual is a newly cut 15-second and 37-second set of teasers, one aimed at the broadcast side and quick hit while the other digs into the atmosphere and tone of the project more.
While that feature will celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the original project with new scenes added, we were also told to expect the TV series getting a new box set release. That’s been scheduled for a planned August 31st, 2016 release that will be priced at 32,000 yen.
The set will include a booklet, a new video extra from the Sunrise Festival 2015 event, the clean opening and closings, the eleventh episode with the original ending, various promos, and a gallery. We’re also getting the audio commentary that was created for the 2010 release with this set.
Sentai Filmworks acquired the TV series for release back in 2013 as part of its pickup of multiple Bandai Entertainment licenses.
Plot concept: Kyo, an avid swimmer tries his best to keep the high school swimming club going, which is pretty hard when he’s the only member. Facing the prospect of the club being closed by the student council, he tries to enlist beautiful Misaki to act in a promo video, shot by his good friend Ryoko, in a bid to start a recruitment drive. She agrees but only if he pilots a mecha under the wing of Celebrum, a resistance organisation fighting to destroy Deutera Areas formed on Earth by the aliens Gardsorm. He agrees but finds it all strangely familiar as if he’s done it before…
