The winter 2016 anime series Norn9 has gotten its home video marching orders and it previously brought out a four-volume release. With that having been wrapped up for a bit, NBC Universal Japan has now scheduled a complete box set for the series that will arrive on October 11th, 2018. The DVD set is priced at 16,500 yen while the Blu-ray box set is priced at 17,500 yen. It looks like it’s just repackaging the four previous discs into one set but without the included bonus CDs before.
Check out our review of the North American release.
Originally announced in March 2014 as getting the green light, the project is from the game that came from Otomate which was released by Idea Factory back in 2013. The series was directed by Takao Abo with series composition by Natsuko Takahashi. Yukari Takeuchi served as chief animation director and character designer. It was animated at Kinema Citrus x Orange.
The cast for it includes Ayumi Fujimura as Koharu, Yuuki Kaji as Kakeru Yuiga, Hiro Shimono as Senri Ichinose, Takuya Satou as Masamune Toya, Ayahi Takagaki as Mikoto Kuga, Daisuke Ono as Natsuhiko Azuma, Mitsuki Saiga as Sakuya Nijo, Kouji Yusa as Itsuki Kagami, Asami Seto as Nanami Shiranui, Noriaki Sugiyama as Akito Syukuri, Tomokazu Sugita as Ron Muroboshi, Hiroyuki Yoshino as Heishi Otomaru, Atsushi Abe as Sorata Suzuhara, Mitsuhiro Ichiki as Setsu Takishima, Kenji Hamada as Shiro Yuiga and Nagi Yanagi as Aion.
Plot concept: The story takes place a little in the future. Guided by one particular song, young elementary school student Suzuhara Sorata, from the Heisei Era, is warped through a time skip to an unfamiliar place that looks much like the towns from the Meiji or Taishou period from his textbooks. In this world, he meets three young ladies and nine young men and joins them on a journey aboard the mysterious Norn ship, a giant globe that floats in midair.
