The winter 2016 series from Kyoto Animation with Myriad Colors Phantom World has finished its broadcast run and it was revealed recently that the final volume of the series will include an unaired episode being made exclusively for it. We’ve got a bit to go until then as the fourth volume has now had its cover artwork and packaging design revealed ahead of its July 6th, 2016 debut. The show is getting a seven-volume release that began on April 6th, 2016 and concludes on October 5th, 2016. It’s not listed anything as special or limited editions so we get the Blu-ray’s priced at 7,344 yen each and the DVDs at 6,264 yen each for the run.
The show will be directed by Tatsuya Ishihara while Kazumi Ikeda is serving double duty as the chief animation director as well as working on the character designs. Fumihiko Simo will be handling the series composition while animation is of course handled by Kyoto Animation.
The cast includes Hiro Shimono as Haruhiko Ichijou, Sumire Uesaka as Mai Kawakami, Saori Hayami as Reina Izumi, Maaya Uchida as Koito Minase, Azusa Tadokoro as Ruru, Misaki Kuno as Kurumi Kumamakura, Kikuko Inoue as Arisu Himeno and Daisuke Sakaguchi as Shousuke Morohashi.
