The fall 2020 anime adaptation of the light novel series Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World, also known as Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjō, Arui wa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen, is getting its home video releases handled by Kadokawa. The distributor has set a three-volume release that begins on January 27th, 2021. With that coming up in a couple of weeks, we now have a look at the full packaging spread for the two editions being released. The DVDs are priced at 11,000 yen while the Blu-rays are at 13,000 yen. There are also limited edition Blu-ray sets coming in at 20,000 yen. I think the main inclusion in the limited edition is a set of sheets for your bed with new illustrations on them.
