Peppermint Anime recently revealed that the Record of Grancrest War anime series will be getting a home video release in Germany and now the third dub clip has arrived. This one does some nice character material as opposed to the action side and gives us a feel for some of the cast. The separate DVD and Blu-ray editions are set to land with the first release on July 26th, 2019. It’ll have the first two episodes in bilingual form with German subtitles. Extras include just trailers so far.
Check out our review of the first North American set.

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.
