The first season and the OVA for Hakuoki are getting some new releases in Japan where NBC Universal is now setting up for a new special edition priced release. The releases are being broken out and the two movies are getting a release as well. It’s set for an August 31st, 2022 debut where it’ll be priced down to 5,000 yen and replicate what the previous edition was. The original films were released in 2014 and were priced at 8,700 yen each.
This will be a three-disc set that comes with all twelve episodes from the original run. No extras are currently listed for it.
Plot concept: Disguised as a man, Chizuru Yukimura has come to Kyoto searching for her missing father, a doctor who developed a magical elixir that increases the drinker’s speed, strength, and healing abilities. Instead of her father, however, she stumbles across a battle between the Shinsengumi and the Furies, evil vampire-like creatures of their own making.
It turns out the Shinsengumi are also searching for her father, and when they discover who she is, they decide to take her into their custody for safekeeping. But her sex is not the only secret Chizuru has, and as more and more Furies begin appearing in Kyoto and the situation becomes ever deadlier, the Shinsengumi may find that the Furies are the least of their problems!
