Alice in Borderland OVA Gets Blu-ray Release in July


It has been a long time since the Alice in Borderland anime was released but it looks like the OVA is finally getting its own Blu-ray!

MVM confirmed that they are releasing 2014's Alice in Borderland on Blu-ray on Monday, July 4 (via Anime News Network). The Blu-ray will include the three episodes of the OVA series. In addition to that, the company will release standard DVD editions of titles including Ben-To, Cat Planet Cuties and Freezing.

The description for Alice in Borderland (Imawa no Kuni no Alice) reads as follows:

"Ryohei Arisu is bored with life. Then Ryohei and his friends, Daikichi and Chota, see what seems to be an incredibly powerful firework in the sky, brighter than any shooting star, and when they can see again, they discover that they're in an entirely new reality. Trapped in a post-apocalyptic environment where the only way to survive is to compete in a series of increasingly deadly games, Ryohei and his friends have no choice except to adapt or perish."

The cast includes Yoshimasa Hosoya as Ryōhei Arisu, Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Daikichi Karube, Tsubasa Yonaga as Chōta Segawa, and Maaya Sakamoto as Saori Shibuki. Hideki Tachibana directed the anime while the scripts were written by Ryosuke Nakamura.

In the meantime, the live-action Netflix adaptation of Haro Aso's manga is already set for its second season. It was previously reported that the series has added six new cast members including Yuri Tsunematsu as Akane Heiya, Hayato Isomura as Sunato Banda, and Tomohisa Yamashita as Ginji Kyuma aka the King of Clubs.

Alice in Borderland Season 2 has not yet been given an official release date but is set to premiere on Netflix in December 2022. The Alice in Borderland OVA will be available on Blu-ray on July 4, 2022.
