The winter 2016 anime series Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! came out quite awhile ago and we’ve seen several dubs for it with them having been produced for English, Spanish, and Portuguese audiences. Now, German distributor AniMoon Publishing has their version coming out with the first DVD and Blu-ray releases set for an October 18th, 2019 debut. That has them now dropping the first promotional video for it as well which definitely delights.
Both formats are priced at $39.99 € and the set comes with four episodes, a slipcase, and unlisted exclusive extras.
The Japanese cast includes Jun Fukushima as Kazuma Satou, Sora Amamiya as Aqua, Rie Takahashi as Megumin, Ai Kayano as Raratina Dustiness Ford, Sayuri Hara as Luna, Tetsu Inada as Ruffian, Ayaka Suwa as Chris, Takuya Eguchi as Kyouya Mitsurugi, Hiroki Yasumoto as Beldia Dullahan and Yui Horie as Wiz.
The series is animated at Studio DEEN with Takaomi Kansaki directing based on scripts by Makoto Uezeu and character designs by Kouichi Kikuta.
The original work comes from writer Akatsuki Natsume with illustrations by Mishima Kurone. The book began in the fall of 2013 and has had manga adaptation along the way with Masahito Watari illustrating that starting back in September 2014.
The English dub has Alex Von David directing it at Bang Zoom! Entertainment with the principal cast including Arnie Pantoja as Kazuma, Faye Mata as Aqua, Erica Mendez as Megumin, and Cristina Vee as Darkness.
Plot concept: After a traffic accident, Kazuma Sato’s disappointingly brief life was supposed to be over, but he wakes up to see a beautiful girl before him. She claims to be a goddess, Aqua, and asks if he would like to go to another world and bring only one thing with him. Kazuma decides to bring the goddess herself, and they are transported to a fantasy world filled with adventure, ruled by a demon king. Now Kazuma only wants to live in peace, but Aqua wants to solve many of this world’s problems, and the demon king will only turn a blind eye for so long…
