We're on the cusp of distributor MVM Entertainment's first attempt to work alongside US company NIS America to bring us a taste of their Collector's Edition of A Lull in the Sea, and with a Collector's Edition of Love Live also on the way, today has seen the company confirm another similar offering.
Thus, as of November 23rd 2015 we'll be seeing P.A. Works' The Eccentric Family getting a UK Collector's Edition release on Blu-ray, comprising of the entire series in HD alongside a 64-page hardcover art book and collector's box.
Here's the blurb for the series if you're unfamiliar with it:
In modern day Kyoto, humans live in the city, tengus take to the sky, and tanukis roam the earth. One such tanuki is Yasaburo, the third son of Soichiro Shimogamo, famed tanuki leader who met his end far too early at the hands of a group of humans and their year-end banquet hot pot. Yasaburo has since embraced his "fool's blood" and strives for a happy, carefree life. But between taking care of his old tengu master Akadama-sensei, avoiding the life-threatening advances of the beautiful human Benten, dealing with his dangerously stupid twin cousins, and avoiding becoming a hot pot himself in the next year-end banquet, the young tanuki has his proverbial work cut out for him!
We reviewed the first four episode of the series via its streaming outing on Crunchyroll (where it's still currently available if you want to try before you buy) - you can see our early thoughts on that series over here.
