With the 2015 anime series Re-Kan! having had its release as singles done a couple of years ago, Tokuma Communications japan is now getting ready for a new complete collection. The show is set for a May 31st, 2017 release where it’s priced at 21,000 yen. The four-disc set will also come with a character song CD along with the original soundtrack. On disc extras include the audio commentary, clean opening and closings, commercials and promos. It’ll also include three booklets with a 24-page recap piece, a 120-page original illustration collection, and a 40-page animation collection.
Check out our review of the series.
The property is a four-panel manga by Hinako Seta that began as a one-shot back in 2009 before going into a full series in 2010, which in turn has spawned six compilations so far. The anime adaptation arrived in the spring 2015 season. It was directed by Masashi Kudo based on scripts by Takashi Aoshima with character designs done by Aoi Yamamoto at Pierrot Plus.
The Japanese cast includes Ibuki Kido as Hibiki Amami, Miku Itou as Narumi Inoue, Erii Yamazaki as Ogawa, Riho Iida as Uehara, M・A・O as Esum, Yoshihisa Kawahara as Daihen-zamurai, Mikako Izawa as Hanako-san, Kujira as Ero-neko, Eriko Matsui as Merry-san, Aya Uchida as Kogal Spirit and Futaba Kino as Faceless Spirit.
Plot concept: Narumi Inoue has a problem with the new girl in school. It’s not that Hibiki Amami is impolite or a bully… it’s just that she sees, speaks with, and befriends ghosts! Now, it’s at the point that when Amami’s around, Inoue sometimes sees them too, spelling disaster for a girl who’s terrified of anything supernatural. However, Amami’s genuine kindness makes it hard for Inoue to ignore her, especially when her friends Kyoko, Kana, and Makoto, as well as the other students, have accepted Amami’s habit of talking to thin air and walking around invisible obstacles. With gentle coaxing (and the knowledge that her departed grandmother is watching over her), Inoue finds herself immersed in Amami’s strange, otherworldly adventures. Fulfilling the last wishes of the dead might not be a normal after-school activity, but at least they’ll always know why the ghost crossed to the other side in RE-KAN!
