Anime Limited picked up the UK home video rights to Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya for its first season back in June 2014, and they’ve had a frustrating time with the materials as they’ve noted in the past in getting this released. But that appears to be getting finished up now as the season is being planned for an August 31st, 2015 debut in both a DVD edition and a Blu-ray Collector’s Edition. The releases are priced at £34.99 and £49.99 respectively, but no details on what the collector’s edition will include yet. Both sets will have the full ten episode run in Japanese and English language form.
Sentai Filmworks released this season on separate DVD and Blu-ray editions back on September 2nd, 2014 (read our review), but they did standard editions with the only extras of the clean opening and closings on disc. It’s uncertain what Anime Limited will bring to the table to make it a collector’s edition.
Plot concept: Illyasviel von Einzbern’s normal life is suddenly halted by the Kaleidostick Ruby, a magical wand on the run from her former master who instantly decides that little Illya has all the right stuff to become the next great magical girl. However, Ruby’s previous owner Rin Tohsaka isn’t exactly thrilled to be de-wanded, especially since she’s just accepted an assignment to collect the seven legendary Class Cards. It seems the only solution is for Illya to take up the task and learn the ropes under Rin’s supervision.
Meanwhile, a girl named Miyu has been chosen by the Kaleidostick Sapphire as HER new master, much to the irritation of Sapphire’s previous master, Rin’s arch rival Luviagelita Edelfelt! Exactly what kind of plan are the wands conjuring up? Find out as the Fate/stay night universe “kaleids” with a healthy dose of magical girl mayhem!
