We learned a bit over a week ago that Italian anime distributor Dynit was going to bring out Ergo Proxy to audiences there this May in two different collections. They’ll have it on both DVD and Blu-ray and now the details are in. The Blu-ray release is priced at 50 euro and will land on May 25th, 2016. While no extras are listed, it does reveal that it will have the Japanese and Italian language tracks using the DTS format and it will have Italian subtitles, making for a pretty neat release to take in. The set will be made up of four discs.
The twenty-three episode series originally broadcast back in 2006 and was licensed in North America and dubbed by Geneon Entertainment. Funimation holds the current license rights to it and produced a complete DVD collection back in 2012. The series was directed by Shukou Murase based on series composition from Dai Sato and had Naoyuki Onda as the character designer and featured an opening song from Radiohead. It was animated by Manglobe.

As Re-l attempts to unlock this spiraling mystery, a metaphysical battle cry leads her to the unknown outside world…
