While Pony Canyon brought the series out in 2015 and 2016 in North America in monolingual sets that were hard to find, Anime Limited picked up the rights to Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers in late 2016 and is now set to launch the show with a dub. This isn’t the first time the series has been dubbed, however, as Crunchyroll brought out four dubs of it previously.

It’s now set for a June 25th, 2018 debut with the regular edition is priced at £29.99 and the limited edition Blu-ray Disc set is priced at £59.99.

Plot concept: When “The Majin” awakes the goddess of fate will choose six warriors and bestow them with the power to save the world. Somewhere on their bodies, a crest in the shape of a flower will appear and as a result the warriors are called “The Heroes of the Six Flowers”. As the day of The Majin’s revival nears, Adlet, a boy who calls himself the strongest man in the world, is chosen as one of the “Six Flowers”. But when the heroes arrived at their designated location, they found that there were seven heroes present. Which meant that one of them was an imposter and an enemy. Confused by the impossible situation, suspicion and paranoia spread among the chosen. And within a thick forest, the heroes’ fierce battle begins!
