We’ve been talking a bit about the upcoming Italian Blu-ray release of Ergo Proxy and recently the North American release from Funimation that they’ll be bringing out the series as part of its ten-year anniversary with plans for it to arrive on Blu-ray. Now it looks like the UK side is getting in on things as MVM Entertainment has announced that they’ll be bringing it out as well on December 12th, 2016 with more details to come.
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.
