The spring 2017 anime series Sagrada Reset is moving right along with its two-cour plan and Kadokawa is handling the home video release for the property. While we’ve still got about two weeks until the first set arrives we now have a look at the expanded packaging design for the second set that’s landing on September 27th, 2017. The distributor has opted for the box set approach for this release where each set will have six episodes. The four sets are priced at 17,600 yen each on DVD and 19,600 yen each on Blu-ray that begins on July 26th, 2017
The staff for this project includes Shinya Kawatsura directing based on the scripts from Katsuhiko Takayama. Tomoyuki Shitaya handled the character designs with David Production handling the animation.
The Japanese cast includes Kaito Ishikawa as Kei Asai, Kana Hanazawa as Misora Haruki, Aoi Yuuki as Sumire Souma, Takuya Eguchi as Tomoki Nakano, Yuki Yamada as Mirai Minami, Makino as Youka Murase, Sachika Misawa as Seika Nonoo, Yuka Aisaka as Eri Oka, Koutarou Nishiyama as Hitsuuchi-kun, Rikako Aida as Sawako Sera, Yuuichi Iguchi as Yousuke Sakagami, Sayaka Ohara as Majo and Youji Ueda as Shintarou Tsushima.
The original work comes from writer Yutaka Kouno and artist You Shiina and it was well received during its original run. Kadokawa is going to be releasing new editions over the coming months for it and the manga that was done by Masahiko Yoshihara in Shounen Ace.
Yui Makino performed the opening song “Reset” while THE ORAL CIGARETTES performed the ending theme song “Tonari Au” for the show.
Plot concept: Nearly half the population of Sakurada, a small town near the Pacific Ocean, has some sort of unique power. These powers range from being able to enter the mind of a cat, to resetting the world back to a certain point in time in the past. There is a group known as the “Kanrikyoku” that controls and monitors the use of these powers. Asai Kei and Haruki Misora work for their school’s club called “Houshi” club, which executes any missions received from the Kanrikyoku. Misora has the ability to reset the world 3 days. This means that all events and any memory of the past 3 days that “could have” happened, never happened. Kei has the ability to “remember” the past. Even after Misora uses her powers to reset the world back 3 days, Kei will retain those 3 days in his memory.
