Final ‘Grancrest Senki’ Anime DVD/BD Release Artwork Arrives

The winter and spring 2018 anime series Record of Grancrest War is getting its home video releases handled by Aniplex Japan and they’ve set a fairly standard plan for it. With the eighth and final volume coming up in just a couple of days, the cover artwork has now been revealed where we have it in clean form without the text and border. The twenty-four episode show is getting an eight-volume release that began on May 30th, 2018. Both formats are listed as limited editions with the DVDs priced at 6,800 yen and the Blu-ray’s at 7,800 yen. Check the full schedule below!

Mamoru Hatakeyama directed based on the series composition by original creator Ryou Mizuno and writer Satoshi Yano. Hiroshi Yakou served as the character designer and A-1 Pictures handled the animation.

The Japanese cast includes Reina Ueda as Aishera, Yuuichi Nakamura as Ervin, Natsumi Takamori as Priscilla, Ai Kayano as Marine Kreische, Takahiro Sakurai as Virale Constance, Satoshi Hino as Lassic David, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Moreno d’Ortous, Yuuichi Iguchi as Alex Deux, Wataru Hatano as Mirza Kooches, Minori Suzuki as Emma, Megumi Nakajima as Luna, Yuuko Kaida as Margaret Odius, Chika Anzai as Laura Hardly, Yumi Uchiyama as Helga Piaroza, Kaede Hondo as Coleen Messala, Satoshi Mikami as Aubest Meletes, Ayane Sakura as Layla, and Ari Ozawa as Cammy.

The work comes from Ryou Mizuni with artwork from Miyuu that began back in the summer of 2013 and currently has eight volumes in print. The project was suspected to be in the works when a manga serialization began this past June from Makoto Yotsuba. No details about the anime production or timeline were revealed at the announcement.

Ryou Mizuno has a solid following to be sure as the creator of Record of Lodoss War and Starship Operators.

Plot Concept: On a continent ruled by chaos, the Lords have the power of a holy seal that can calm the chaos and protect the people. However, before anyone realizes it, the rulers cast aside their creed of purifying the chaos, and instead start to fight each other for each other’s holy seals to gain dominion over one another. Shiruuka, an isolated mage who scorns the Lords for abandoning their creed, and a wandering knight named Theo, who is on a journey to train to one day liberate his hometown, make an everlasting oath to work together to reform this continent dominated by wars and chaos.
