The winter 2020 anime series ARP Backstage Pass is getting its home video releases handled by X and they’ve set a solid plan for it. The eleven-episode series is getting released as a four-volume run on separate DVD and Blu-ray editions beginning May 27th, 2020. These are awhile away but we’ve gotten our another tease of the style for the covers with a character visual sample that could make for a very good run with the fourth and final volume arriving before its August 26th, 2020 debut. Now, we’ll just hope we get full packaging previews. The DVDs are priced at 8,000 yen each and the Blu-rays at 9,000 yen each. Check out the schedule and known details below!
Tetsuya Endo is directing with Dynamo Pictures handling the animation production. Korie Tomonaga handled the series composition for the show.
The Japanese cast includes Daisuke Namikawa as Eiji Kanō, Kazuhiko Inoue as The Chairman, Takuya Eguchi as Chairman’s Secretary, and Wataru Komada as Haruomi Matsumoto.
