The winter 2017 anime series Akiba’s Trip: The Animation has had its home video release plans set with Gonzo and DLE distributing it. With a bit to go yet with the second and final release of the series, we now have a look at the packaging design and the extras for that Blu-ray box set. We’ve also got a look at the two DVD box set covers, which are different in design. The twelve episode series is getting an interesting release where there will be two Blu-ray box sets and what will be four DVD releases to cover the show. The first six-episode Blu-ray box set is scheduled for an April 4th, 2017 debut priced at 19,800 yen while the first two DVD releases with three episodes each will arrive on April 4th and May 2nd at 3,800 yen. The back half of the series hasn’t been solicited yet.
The series was directed by Hiroshi Ikehata based on the series composition by Kazuho Hyoudou. Hajime Natsumi handled the character designs and Gonzo produced the animation.
The Japanese cast includes Haruki Ishiya as Tamotsu Denkigai, Rie Takahashi as Matome Manseika, Marika Kōno as Niwaka Denkigai, Yuki Nagaku as Arisa Ahokainen, Misaki Kuno as Tasujin Ratu and Jouji Nakata as Kage-san.
Plot concept: Akihabara, a broad-minded neighborhood where everyone from beginners to masters are welcomed. Even when you’re alone, if you go to Akiba, you’ll find someone who understands you. It’s a neighborhood where anything is possible, where anyone can do seemingly anything; a place where you can lay bare your body and soul. In this neighborhood of Akiba, which has everything including anime, games, maids, idols, secondhand parts, and cheap!
