New ‘Alderamin on the Sky’ Anime Japanese Box Set Packaging Arrives

The home video release plans for the summer 2016 anime series Alderamin on the Sky were set recently finished up Warner Bros. Japan handling the distribution. WB Japan is moving quickly to the box set with a complete collection on December 13th, 2017 that we previously talked about. It’s set to be priced at a bargain 15,000 yen and we now have a look at the packaging and the confirmation that it’s just bringing together the main discs from the previous run and not a re-authoring job.

The thirteen episode series previously got a seven-volume release where there will be two episodes per disc with the seventh having just one. The first six DVD and Blu-ray releases are priced at 6,200 and 7,200 yen each respectively while the seventh disc is priced at 3,500 and 4,000 yen respectively. All editions are listed as limited edition releases.

The series was animated by Madhouse with Tetsuo Ichimura on board to direct it based on the series composition from Shogo Yasukawa. Kunio Katsuki handled the character designs.

The Japanese cast includes Nobuhiko Okamoto as Sorouka Ikuta, Risa Taneda as Igsem Yatorishino, Inori Minase as Shamiyu Kitora Katovanmaninik, Ryousuke Kanemoto as Remion Torway, Junji Majima as Matthew Tetojirichi and Haruka Chisuga as Becker Harouma.

The opening theme was performed by Kishida Kyoudan & the Akeboshi Rockets. The ending theme song, “nameless,” was performed by Kano.

The light novels come from Bokuto Uno and it’s been running since 2012 and has its eighth volume coming out earlier this fall in Japan. A manga adaptation began in the summer of 2014 with Taiki Kawakami doing the illustrations/adaptation for it.

Plot concept: At war with the adjacent Kioka Republic, the Katjvarna Empire. In that region, due to certain circumstances, there was a certain youth unwillingly preparing to take the High Grade Military Officer Exam. His name, Ikuta. Disliker of war, lazy, admirer of women. No one predicted that that kind of Ikuta would later on become a soldier referred to even as a great commander… He who survived a world embroiled in war with his superior genius, Ikuta.
