The summer 2017 anime series Senki Zesshou Symphogear AXZ is having its home video release plans handled by King Records and they’ve set a fairly standard plan. The series is getting a six-volume release where the first five DVDs and Blu-ray’s are priced at 6,500 yen while the seventh with an extra episode is priced at 7,500 yen when it begins on September 27th, 2017.
The series was directed by Katsumo Ono, features character designs from Satoru Fujimoto and is animated by Satelight.
The Japanese cast includes Ai Kayano as Kirika Akatsuki, Aoi Yūki as Hibiki Tachibana, Ayahi Takagaki as Chris Yukine, Nana Mizuki as Tsubasa Kazanari, Yōko Hikasa as Maria Cadenzavna Eve and Yoshino Nanjō as Shirabe Tsukuyomi.
The franchise began back in 2012 with two more seasons coming in 2013 and 2015 respectively. Funimation originally streamed the first season of the series but passed on the others as they did not pursue a home video license. All three seasons also streamed on Crunchyroll.
Original concept: In a world where aliens known as “The Noise” threaten the earth, only one thing can protect the human race: the magical armor Symphogear. But in order to save their world, the Symphogear wearers will have to learn from the tragedies of the past.
