The ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. anime series had its run back in the winter 2017 season and saw release here but it looks like that’s not the end. While there are a few permutations of the manga in the last few years, a new OVA was announced under the subheading of Regards for it. The OVA was originally tentatively planned for a limited October theatrical debut but due to typhoon related issues has now been set for a one-week screening beginning February 14th, 2020. It’s then scheduled for a home video release on March 27th, 2020. With that in mind, two new cast additions have been revealed with Chiaki Kobayashi as Parrot and Tomomichi Nishimura as Vint.
The special’s story is set in the capital city of Badon one year after the events of the television anime, and shows Jean and the rest of the ACCA department preparing for the one-year anniversary of the establishment of the new order. For the characters — caught between rumors of unrest, unchanging days, new crossroads, gazes remembered in memories, and days of new beginnings — time once again begins to move forward.”
Check out our review of the series.

These thirteen states have many agencies that are controlled by the giant organization known as ACCA. Within ACCA, Jean Otis is the second-in-command of the inspection agency. His agency has 10 people placed in each of the 13 states, with a central office in the capital city.
