The summer 2019 anime series Granbelm saw its simulcast through Crunchyroll originally and a home video release in Japan from DMM Pictures. Back in December 2023, the series saw some new attention as UK distributor Anime Limited has picked up the rights to the show for release there. It’s being planned as a Collector’s Edition release that will arrive in February 2024 with preorders taking place the same month.
That’s now being solicited with a February 26th, 2024 release through the distributor where it’ll be priced at £69.99. The two-disc set will be a Region B encoded set that comes in its original Japanese language with English subtitles and include the clean theme songs as extras. It comes packed in a rigid case, and inside that is a set of two Amaray cases, each of which contains one Blu-ray disc. Also included is an A3 poster and a series of eight character and mech art cards.
