In addition to their two brand new anime acquisitions, the Australian anime publisher Siren Visual have also confirmed that they will be responding to demands by releasing the anime series DuRaRaRa!! anime series on blu-ray. This follows on from their 2011 DVD releases and the North American blu-ray releases by Aniplex of America.
No release date has currently been confirmed, however as this title was one of my top three Australian Anime Releases of the Year during 2011 (Sharing the title with Eden of the East and Siren’s own Dennou Coil), I look forward to picking up this new release as well.
At the invitation of his childhood friend Masaomi, Ryuugamine Mikado transfers from his home in the country to a school in the city of Ikebukuro. Masaomi has warned him about people he doesn’t want to cross with in the city: A champion fighter, an infrmant, a pharmaceutical company who is commissioning the abduction of women off the street and a mysterious gang called Dollars.
Nervous in the labyrinth of Ikebukuro, Mikado witnesses an urban legend on his first day in the city – CELTY: a headless, black-clad motorcyclist who rides the streets with no headlights searching for its stolen head. From then on, the existence of the supernatural and a gang called the Yellow Scarves will rise to the surface…. Ikebukuro will be pushed to breaking point.
