Thought details are slim at best, Madman Entertainment has announced the pickup of the spring 2013 series Date-A-Live for home video release in Australia. The series does not have a home video format determined yet or what kind of configuration it has. The show has been given the go ahead in Japan for a second season which obviously isn’t included in this deal. FUNimation simulcast the series in North America but has not yet made a move to confirm a home video release license for it.
Plot concept: Thirty years before a strange phenomena called a “spacequake” devastated the center of Eurasia, claiming the lives of at least 150 million people. Since then, smaller spacequakes plague the world on a irregular basis. Shidō Itsuka, a seemingly ordinary high schooler comes across a mysterious girl at the ground zero of a spacequake and learns from his sister Kotori she is one of the “Spirits” who are the real cause of the spacequakes that occur when they manifest themselves in the world. He also learns that Kotori is the captain of the airship Ratatoskr and recruits him to make use of his mysterious ability to seal the Spirits’ powers and stop them from being a threat to mankind. However, there is a catch: to seal a Spirit, he must make her fall in love with him.
