With this series is now out of print in North America, German distributor Peppermint Anime recently lined up the first season of Darker Than Black for release on Blu-ray. The box set will bring the twenty-five episode series plus the OVA out for release on June 30th, 2017 priced at 98 euro. Ahead of that we now have the third dub clip from it that shows off the German language track, which really does work in some ways that you might not expect. It’ll have the original Japanese language track with German subtitles as well as a German language dub track. No extras are solicited for it yet but we do have a look at the cover design for it to the right.
Check out our Ten Years Later coverage on this series from earlier this year.
Series concept: A new and deadly breed of covert agent walks the streets. Known as Contractors, these assassins and spies wield bizarre supernatural powers to carry out the dirty work of others. They thrive in the underworld, between rumor and reality, their loyalties always in question.
One among these operatives is more mysterious than the rest – the masked killer BK201, the Black Reaper. His true identity and intentions remain unknown, but as his path weaves through the shadows and alleys of Tokyo, blood is spilled on both sides of the law. It’s a new age of confusion, and the rules of engagement have changed.
