Bandai Visual continues to work the shorter release schedule for movies these days that are meant more for fans in limited release with Zegapain ADP. The feature film is scheduled for an October 15th, 2016 theatrical bow in Japan but it’s getting a premium Blu-ray edition release on October 29th, 2016. This set is priced at 10,000 yen and it looks to be a part of the Bandai Visual Club that people can preorder at the movie as well. The regular edition release is scheduled for November 25th, 2016 where the Blu-ray is priced at 6,800 yen while the DVD is at 4,800 yen.
On-disc extras for all editions include liner notes, commercials and trailers, and an audio commentary.
While that feature will celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the original project with new scenes added. The TV series got a box set release on August 31st, 2016 that was priced at 32,000 yen. That set included 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 Gards-orm. He agrees but finds it all strangely familiar as if he’s done it before…
