Australian anime publisher Siren Visual, known for their niche anime releases, have this afternoon announced their acquisition of the anime series Nagi no Asukara: A Lull in the Sea. At the moment they can only confirm that they will be publishing the series in Australia and New Zealand, with no planned release date. An English dub has not been confirmed yet, and the company haven’t announced if this will be a DVD-exclusive release or if it will also be distributed on Blu-ray. Either way, seems like a very promising acquisition for the company.
Long ago, all humans lived in the ocean. Some who longed for the land abandoned the water and cast off the special raiments granted to them by the sea god to adapt them to life under the sea…
Mankind was divided into sea and land dwellers, each with different ways of thinking, though they were all still fellow humans and they continued to maintain contact as time went on.
Hikari Sakishima, Manaka Mukaido, Chisaki Hiradaira, and Kaname Isaki live in an undersea village, while Tsumugu Kihara lives on land. When these land and sea dwellers meet for the first time during their second year of middle school, their hearts begin to undulate like the tides. The youthful fantasy tale of these young people’s lives unfolds in a strange and beautiful world.
