Fans of the Mahoromatic franchise have something new to look forward to this summer as NBC Universal Japan has just announced a new Blu-ray box set that’s reduced in price compared to the previous separate season releases. The new set is scheduled to land on June 23rd, 2016 and will be priced at 25,000 yen. It’ll contain the twelve episode first season, the fourteen episode second season, and the two special episodes in one collection.
The set will come with seven Blu-ray discs to hold it all plus two CDs of music and a 32-page booklet. No on-disc extras are included yet.
Sentai Filmworks released a DVD version of this back in 2012, which you can read about here, and this has us hopeful they might get to a Blu-ray version here in the next year.
Plot concept: Mahoro has just 398 days left to live. A military android created by VESPER to combat an alien menace, she is given the choice to retire from active service and do anything she wishes in her last days. However, her choice is to serve as maid and bodyguard to a very surprised teenage boy! From the legendary Studio Gainax comes an amazing saga of life, love and combat!
