The winter 2019 anime series The Magnificent Kotobuki is getting its home video releases handled by Bandai and they’re going for the box set route. With the second set coming up next month, Bandai is now rolling out some new promotion for the release with a pretty good 30-second spot that highlights to what expect. The twelve episode series is getting two box set releases that began on May 24th, 2019 where each set is priced at 18,000 yen for six episodes per set.

Plot Concept: The series takes place in a barren frontier where people trade goods with each other in order to help each other survive. The Kotobuki Squadron are bodyguards for hire, led by a strict but beautiful squadron leader, an unreliable commanding officer, and a true artisan of a crew chief. Alongside pilots who don’t lack for personality, they take to the air in dogfights, letting the engine noise of their Hayabusa fighters ring out in the skies.
