Bandai Visual previously revealed their plans for the home video release of the winter 2016 anime series Dimension W and as the show moves on more cover artwork is coming out for it. While we had the details of the first three volumes of the series, we now have the fourth volume artwork as well as a breakdown of what’s on the disc – which includes another bonus short. Similar to other Bandai Visual releases this past year, the show is getting a Blu-ray only release plan where they’re all limited editions and priced at 7,000 yen for each of the six volumes it will run. Check the chart below for details on what we know so far.
The series is based on the manga by Yuji Iwahara which has its eighth volume coming out recently. The anime is directed by Kanta Kamei based on scripts by Shoutarou Suga and character designs by Tokuyuki Matsutake. It’s being animated at Studio 3Hz.
The Japanese cast includes Daisuke Ono as Kyouma Mabuchi, Reina Ueda as Mira Yurisaki, Akira Ishida as Albert Schumann, Eri Suzuki as Elizabeth Greenhough-Smith and Kimiko Saito as Marie.
With the opening song Genesis from STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION, the series will premiere on January 10th, 2016 in Japan.
Plot concept: In the year 2071, the world’s energy problems seem solved by a network of cross-dimensional electric-field inductors- “coils” -that extract energy from a seemingly infinite source. That source is the W dimension, a fourth plane that exists beyond the X, Y, and Z dimensions. In this world, unofficial “illegal” coils harness powers that the police can’t hope to counter. Dealing with these coils is the job of coil-hating repo man Kyoma, whose run-in with the unique coil android Mira leads the two to form a reluctant partnership.
