MVM Entertainment has announced a new pickup for the fall of 2013 with the acquisition of Arakawa Under the Bridge for both of its seasons. The show is getting a subtitled-only DVD release in late 2013. The series has had overseas licensing with NIS America having picked up the show previously for North America where the first thirteen episode season was released on separated DVD and Blu-ray sets while the second thirteen episode season was done as a combo release for the two formats.
Plot concept: Ko Ichinomiya’s family motto is “Never be indebted to anyone,” but after losing his pants and falling into the Arakawa River, he quickly finds himself in debt to his savior, the cutely insane Nino who happens to live under the bridge. To repay her, he vows to help her with her desire to “experience love.” Along the way he’ll meet the river’s other residents, including a hot-blooded kappa, a Sister in drag, and a literal rock star.
