With North American fans about to get their hands on Log Horizon tomorrow, Australian fans have learned that Madman Entertainment will be bringing the series out to them sooner rather than later. The company announced the news at the Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Adelaide that they’ll be bringing out the show, presumably in the same two parts that we see happening here, on DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital in March 2015. The series has gotten a dub in North America and it’s expected that this release will largely mirror it.
You can read our review of this set here.
Plot concept: Elder Tales has become a global phenomenon, immersing millions of players in its online fantasy world. However, something goes wrong with the twelfth expansion pack. Eight-year veteran Shiroe and 30,000 other players suddenly find themselves trapped in the game’s no-longer-fictional universe!
Except it’s not even exactly the game they knew: things are in different places, the portals don’t work, and if a gamer was playing an avatar who wasn’t a physical match for their real self… well, let’s just say that everyone who’s been playing is going to have to make some serious adjustments to their new world view.
On top of that, the former Non-Player-Characters are now self-aware and working towards their own ends. This collision of the Elder Tale people and players with seemingly impossible skills, abilities, and knowledge promises to be cataclysmic. Get ready for heroes to rise and new legends to be forged as Shiroe and fellow players Naotsugu and Akatsuki discover what happens when sword and sorcery becomes real!
