When September 20th hits, we’ll get our hands on a new Blu-ray and DVD release in combo pack form from NIS America with the second Katanagari premium edition release. The historical romance and adventure series brings about another six episodes, which runs the same as twelve episodes due to their length, while including the clean opening and closing sequences for it as its extras. But that’s not what a lot of fans love about NIS America releases, it’s the packaging and the hardcover book that’s included and this one is no exception. The subtitle only release will include the usual heavy chipboard oversized box but also a full color 32 page hardcover art book, featuring vivid, unique art work that conveys a story by itself, quest guides including character information, and song lyrics from quests 7 through 12.
“A detailed glossary was added to the art book in order to provide a deeper understanding of Japanese history and the traditional terminology used throughout the show. Go deeper into the minds of those who hold the Klesha Bringers and learn more about the inner-workings of Shikizaki Kiki and Katanagatari with the beautiful full-color artbook that comes with the Premium Edition of Katanagatari volume 2!”
I CAN’T WAIT TO GET MINEEEE!!!!!
