At the currently on-going Anime Expo 2012 in Los Angeles, California – Sentai Filmworks announced their acquisition of the anime series Hakuouki Reimeiroku. This is the third series in the franchise based on Idea Factory’s original “Hakuouki” franchise and instead of being a sequel, acts as a prequel to the series – set in 1863 and the dawning of the Shinsengumi.
The series is due for premiere in Japan on the 9th July, with simulcasting through digital outlets set to follow. A bilingual home video release is slated for next year. Sentai Filmworks previously announced the acquisition of the first two series and OVA series at Anime Central in April 2012.
