November 2012 is the Australian release date of Part 1 for Shangri-la by Madman Entertainment, following both parts being released in North America by Funimation Entertainment last month.
While release dates are still subject to change, it seems that the current release date for Part 2 in Australia is December 2012 – unlike most multi-collection releases over here which seem to be a couple of months apart.
This collection will feature Episodes 13 through 24 with a hybrid dub on DVD.
In the distant future, earthquakes and the effects of global warming have splintered Japanese society. Some struggle hand-to-mouth in the jungle-tangled ruins of civilization. Some live comfortably within the closed-off city of Atlas. Others lurk online, anonymously hacking the global economy. As nature grows more violent and the divide between classes expands, one spirited girl, Kuniko, must face her destiny and lead her people into the utopia of Atlas. The city’s ruthless government isn’t going to welcome them with open arms, but Kuniko won’t give up until the gates of Atlas are kicked open for good – even if it means discovering that the promised land she dreamed of is built upon a foundation of twisted secrets and lies.
