During their Anime Boston panel earlier today, Aniplex of America confirmed that they will be releasing Expelled From Paradise in North America from June 2015. It will be available exclusively on the Blu-ray format, with no DVD collection confirmed at this time.
This science fiction film features direction by Seiji Mizushima (Of Full Metal Alchemist acclaim) and Gen Urobuchi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero). This anime will also come with dual audio (English/Japanese), with the newly commissioned dub featuring the work of Wendee Lee, Steve Blum and Johnny Yong Bosch.
The limited edition set blu-ray set, priced at $64.98 SRP, comes with a small assortment of bonus on-disc and physical goodies – while the standard edition is slightly cheaper at an SRP of $49.98. As usual, sites like RightStuf.com will have Expelled From Paradise available at a slightly cheaper price point.
With Earth now left in ruins following the “Nano Hazard,” most of humanity has abandoned the planet they once called home along with their physical bodies and rebuilt their digitalized minds into a society within the cyber universe of “DEVA.”
A.D. 2400, DEVA’s central council detects an incident of unauthorized access into their mainframe. Someone on Earth was trying to hack into the system. The only information DEVA was able to retrieve was that the hacker referred to themselves as “Frontier Setter.”
To investigate the mysterious hacker’s motives, the high officials of DEVA dispatch System Security Third Officer Angela Balzac to the Earth’s surface. Equipped with a prosthetic “material body,” Angela attempts to make contact with a local agent Dingo, but what awaited her instead was a swarm of Sandworms now infesting the Earth’s surface. Angela intercepts the gruesome pests with her exoskeletal powered suit Arhan.
Will Angela and Dingo be able to find Frontier Setter on this devastated planet? Their journey to explore the secrets of the world will begin now…!
