After bringing out a collection back in 2014 after previously being a DVD-only release, Sentai Filmworks came back with a new complete collection for the Book of Bantorra in the fall of 2019. The sprawling series is one that doesn’t get a lot of attention but it’s a pretty interesting series that avoids a lot of cliches while leaning into others as you’d expect for a fantasy-ish work. Sentai didn’t have a trailer on their channel or it before but they’ve added it now as you can see below. The new Blu-ray is easily found in the retail chain and the show is streaming on HIDIVE.
Check out our review of the previous release.
Plot Concept: In another time and place, on a world of pain and sorrow, when someone dies, their soul doesn’t go to Heaven or Hell – it becomes a book. A book that reveals the deceased’s innermost secrets and that can be read by anyone. Protecting these priceless treasures is the elite organization known as the Armed Librarians. It’s their job to keep the books and the knowledge within them safe from those who would misuse or destroy them. It’s a tough, dangerous job, so Chief Librarian Hamyuts Maseta recruits only the best and the brightest psychics to join her team of expert fighters. Even so, will they be able to stop the fanatics of the Shindeki Church from wreaking vengeance on the entire world? Only time will tell, but that book hasn’t been written yet. Don’t miss the non-stop action of The Book of Bantorra Complete Collection.
