Viz Media is working their next big project pretty well this weekend with a good bit of news regarding Blood Lad. After simulcasting the series previously, they’ve finished up on the dub and it’s going to get a Neon Alley exclusive run starting on June 26th, 2014. And they’re going for the “Netflix” approach of dropping all ten episodes on the service at once. This comes a few months ahead of the home video release, which is now slated for September 2nd, 2014. The DVD/BD limited edition release is priced at $69.99 and comes with all ten episodes plus the OVA and a few more things that you can see below:
- OVA episode (Blood Lad EX)
- Art galleries (production art & illustrations)
- English dub outtakes
- Convention chalk art video
- Clean opening & ending
- Original Japanese trailers
- 96-page booklet, with exclusive manga from creator Yuuki Kodama, art galleries, actor interviews and more!
Plot concept: Werewolves, zombies, and even the Abominable Snowman fight day and night for the title of Territory Boss. The vampire Staz, however, finds the whole thing to be a serious pain. He spends his time watching anime, playing video games, and daydreaming about going to the Human World. That all changes when he meets Fuyumi, a human girl who instantly win’s Staz’s heart, and who then loses her life to a man-eating plant.
Refusing to give up on the girl of his dreams, Staz travels across the Demon and Human Worlds in search of a way to bring Fuyumi back to life by any bloody means necessary.
