It’s taken awhile as the singles for You’re Being Summoned, Azazel on Blu-ray in Japan came out during 2013 but we’ve now finally gotten a Japanese Blu-ray box set. The show is getting a combined first and second season box set that arrived July 26th, 2017 priced at 18,000 yen and we now have the larger sized artwork of what the front of it looks like. The set will have three Blu-ray discs that also include the clean opening and closing while the fourth disc looks to be a drama CD piece. Audio commentaries are also included.
Check out our review of the series here. Nozomi released it back in February 2015 on DVD.
The series is based on the manga by Yasuhisa Kubo, You’re Being Summoned, Azazel and features animation by Production I.G (Ghost in the Shell: Arise, Psycho-Pass), and is directed by Tsutomu Mizushima (Girls und Panzer, Another). The series originally aired in Japan on AT-X, with the first season airing from April to July 2011 and the second season running from March to June 2013.
Plot concept: Have a stalker you just can’t shake? Fear your spouse is being unfaithful? You might consider hiring Akutabe, a detective who summons demons to do his dirty work. While his methods might seem unorthodox, he always gets results. However, as powerful as Akutabe is, manipulating demons is delicate art. His new part-time employee Sakuma, a young college girl, doesn’t get to spend too much time exploring the finer points of controlling demons before Akutabe forces her into a demonic contract with Azazel. Azazel is lazy, lustful and depraved… Everything you’d expect a demon to be. Sakuma needs to keep Azazel on a tight leash, but to do that, she may have to dabble in a little depravity herself.
