Sentai Filmworks picked up the Utawarerumono OVA series awhile ago and recently revealed the finalized cover artwork as well. Now that we’re getting closer to the actual release next month, they’ve brought out the finalized dub cast. The series is being directed by Kyle Jones for this continuation of the original TV series that ADV Films originally dubbed and brought out. The cast for it, in alphabetical order of the characters, includes:
| Aruruu | Sasha Paysinger |
| Benawi | Vic Mignogna |
| Camus | Serena Varghese |
| Dori | Brittney Karbowski |
| Eluluu | Kira Vincent-Davis |
| Fumiriru | Allison Sumrall |
| Gomuta | Rob Mungle |
| Guardian | Ricardo Contreras |
| Gura | Brittney Karbowksi |
| Hakuoro | John Gremillion |
| Kamuchatarl | Maggie Flecknoe |
| Karula | Shelley Calene-Black |
| Kurou | Jason Douglas |
| Nopon | David Wald |
| Oboro | Christopher Patton |
| Touka | Genevieve Simmons |
| Urutori | Kelly Manison |
| Yuzuha | Monica Rial |
| Military Guys | Rob Mungle |
| David Wald | |
| Kyle Colby Jones | |
| Ricardo Contreras |
The release is scheduled for a March 29th, 2016 debut on both DVD and Blu-ray.
Originally released in 2009, Kenichiro Katsura took the helm as director of the episodes, with scripting done by Takamitsu Kouno. Original character designs were provided by Tatsuki Amazuyu, with sound direction by Takatoshi Hamano. Animation production was handled by AQUAPLUS and Chaos Project.
The three-part series tells some smaller stories not from the main series and the recent Japanese release is well timed with the new series that kicked off this fall. The set was released in Japan on Blu-ray on October 23rd, 2015 and was priced at 12,500 yen. That release look like it included all three of the picture dramas in HD quality that were originally released with the previous DVD release of the OVAs.
Sentai’s release will include those picture dramas as well as the clean opening and closings.
Plot concept: You may have thought the saga of the mysterious masked warrior Hakuoro was over, but the fight for justice and honor never ends. Even in a world filled with sorcery and epic battles, there’s always time for a few adventures on the side! Journey back to the world of UTAWARERUMONO and discover three amazing new stories: Can the priestess Urutori find a way to solve the problem of an abandoned infant, or will she end up raising the child herself? Can healer Eluluu resolve a situation that involves youth potions, some unusually well-intentioned kidnappers, and a very unorthodox romance? And finally, learn just how much trouble a couple of girls can get into on a simple afternoon fishing trip. (Because when it involves magic fish, and two of the girls are Touka and Aruruu, the answer is… plenty!) The tales may be a little shorter, but the fantasy is every bit as fantastic as all the characters you love return in UTAWARERUMONO – THE OVA COLLECTION!
