The winter 2019 anime adaptation of the Grimms Notes game from Square Enix now has its home video release scheduled. The twelve episode series is being released as a single Blu-ray box set with no DVD edition coming out. It’s set for a June 19th, 2019 debut priced at 22,000 yen. It looks like it’s two discs being produced with details regarding the extras and other information to come later.
Seiki Sugawara is directing it based on the series composition by Hiroshi Yamaguchi. Kentaro Matsumoto is handling the character designs with Brain’s Base working on the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Ryota Ohsaka as Ekusu, Reina Ueda as Reina, Miyu Kubota as Shane, Takuya Eguchi as Tao, Takahiro Mizushima as Loki, and Sumire Uesaka as Curly.
Ayana Taketatsu is going to handle the opening theme song “Innocent Notes” for the series while i☆Ris is set to perform ending theme song “Endless Notes,” which isn’t too much of a surprise as one of the members, Miyu Kubota, is in the series itself.
