The summer 2018 anime series Muhyo & Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation hasn’t been a normal one since it started in August unlike most series in July. It’s also getting a bit of a non-standard home video release as Sony Japan is releasing it as a single box set. The twelve episode series is getting a January 30th, 2019 debut where the DVD set is priced at 27,800 yen and the Blu-ray at 29,800 yen. It’s being done as four discs that also includes a bonus drama CD. A booklet is also included while on-disc extras look limited, so far, to just the clean opening and closing sequences.
Nobuhiro Kondo is directing it based on the series composition and scripts by Yasuyuki Suzuki. Kouichiro Kawano is handling the character designs with Studio DEEN producing the animation for it.
The previously announced Japanese cast includes Ayumu Murase as Tōru Muhyō, Yuu Hayashi as Jirō “Roji” Kusano, Tetsuya Kakihara as Yōichi Himukai, Hiroshi Kamiya as Soratsugu Madoka, Mitsuki Saiga as Reiko Imai, Wataru Hatano as Page Klaus, Rie Kawamura as Yū Abiko (Biko), Satomi Akesaka as Rio Kurotori, Iori Nomizu as Nana Takenouchi, Tetsuharu Ohta as Tiki, Kōhei Amasaki as Kenji, Yōji Ueda as Maeda, Ami Koshimizu as Furuya, Kazumasa Fukagawa as Iwamoto, and Kyousuke Ikeda as Fujiwara.
