After a considerable amount of time waiting, Nippon Ichi Software America released the first and second seasons of Natume’s Book of Friends in a single premium edition release during October 2012. However as this is not the end of the series you might have been wondering when the company will be releasing subsequent seasons. It has been announced today that the third season will also be receiving a Premium Edition release on the 5th March 2013 containing 13 episodes on both DVD and Blu-ray.
The release, featuring a Japanese Dub / English subtitles will include the following bonus content:
- The standard hardcover case to store everything that comes in the edition in.
- A 32 page full colour hardcover artbook which they hope will serve as a supplement for a deeper understanding of the series with character bios, episode guides, rough sketches and Japanese DVD package illustrations.
- Clean OP/ED Sequences
- Japanese commercials
About the show:
Takashi Natsume has always been shunned by those around him because of his mysterious ability to see yokai. Eventually, he came into possession of his grandmother Reiko’s “Book of Friends,” and together with his bodyguard Nyanko-sensei he set out to return the names of the yokai contained within it. Since then, he’s found a home with the Fujiwaras and for the first time found people he can call his friends.
He’s also begun to accept the existence of yokai and his unique power, forming bonds with many of them. But little does he know he’s about to be dragged unwittingly into further trouble…
