Media Factory is handling the home video release of Non Non Biyori Repeat in Japan and with the series about a month away from the first volume arriving, they’ve now brought out the cover artwork for it. Preorders are key with a series like this to make it viable so getting information out early is what Media Factory does. The series is getting a six volume release beginning on September 18th, 2015 where the Blu-ray’s are priced at 7,560 yen each and the DVDs at 6,480 yen each. Check out the chart below as more details come in for it.
Originally announced as getting the green light back in April 2014, Media Factory recently brought out the second extended promo for the show where it takes us right back to what makes the show special; beautiful backgrounds, a natural sense of the world and some very silly moment with the girls of the series. The promo clocks in at about 100 seconds and has some great visuals while reaffirming the cast and staff of the series set to a rather fun little instrumental piece.
The series is set to be directed by Shinya Kawamo based on the overall composition by Reiko Yoshida who will also be writing scripts alongside Fumihiko Shimo and Yuka Yamada. Mai Otsuka returns as the character design and the work will be produced at Silver Link.
Non Non Biyori Repeat is based on the manga by Atto that began in 2009 under Media Factory, which had its seventh compilation debut last summer. Seven Seas Entertainment has the first volume scheduled for June 30th, 2015 and the second on September 15th, 2015, which is well timed with this series broadcast. Sentai Filmworks previously licensed and released the first series.
Plot concept: The closest book store sells Jump every Wednesday, the video rental shop is ten stations down. Vegetables are left out for sale, and no one’s ever even see a lock on a house. That’s the country life they live, but these five girls at Asahigaoka Branch School are enjoying it! Enjoy the leisurely, laid-back life of these unique girls!

Cute girls on a DVD/BD cover with sakura in full bloom in the background? I shall refrain from posting sarcastic remarks about this original concept. The cover looks very nice.
Being sarcastic in regards to an iyashikei show like NNB could invoke quite a strong reaction, after all. 😉
^_^
As I said, it’s very nice. Any sarcasm would not have been directed at the show or any of the girls, but towards the marketing department. It’s the same reason why every anime high school is suffocated by sakura trees…the symbolism of the unrealized briefness of youth.
