Aniplex Japan handled the home video release plans for the Puzzle & Dragons series which wrapped up its release plans back in May. The whole marketing of it was pretty poor in a lot of ways and even three months after the release of the third and final set of the season they still haven’t put out anything besides a thumbnail version of the covers. Even Amazon Japan hasn’t updated with that, instead sticking to the standard key visual to the right. So we’ve got some poor quality versions to check out and hope that the eventual North American release is better handled.
The sets are priced for its target audience at just 12,960 yen, which is quite good for that amount of content in Japan, even for a younger audience. The show is being spread across three discs and at the moment there are no on-disc extras listed and the only pack-in extra is a QR code for the game.
The Japanese cast includes Takuto Yoshinaga as Ace, Tetsuya Kakihara as Lance, Tomoko Kaneda as Tamazo, Chika Sakamoto as Devi and Sora Amamiya as Sonia.
The opening theme song is performed by UVERworld while the ending song is performed by Shiori Tomita.
Plot concept: Dorogoza Island is rich in “Drop Energy” that players can use on friendly monsters. Once strong enough, they can face enemies in puzzle wars. Winners reap rewards, but what happens to the losers? Only the brave can take on these monstrous challenges!
