With just under a month to go for the home video release, Sentai Filmworks has revealed their finalized English language cast list for Dramatical Murder. The dub for this one is being directed by Chris Ayres and he’s got a pretty solid male-heavy lead cast to work with. But we also get some really good supporting actors in the mix as well that should delight fans.
The series is set for a complete DVD and Blu-ray release on November 24th, 2015 with the solicited extras of just the clean opening and closing. It includes the full twelve episode run plus the OVA that came out afterward.

Character designs were done by Yukiko Ban while Yuuki Hayashi did the music composition.

Plot concept: The story takes place many years in the future where the game “Rhyme,” a virtual fighting game, is incredibly popular and people possess “AllMates,” convenient AI computers. Aoba leads an ordinary life, working at a junk shop and living with his grandmother on the island of Midorijima. Unlike his friends, he doesn’t participate in Rhyme, nor does he belong in a gang. However, when rumors of people disappearing spread, Aoba finds himself needing to unravel the mysteries behind the island in order to protect his everyday life.
