While some anime publishers may attend Anime Expo 2014 to highlight their acquisitions of the latest and possibly greatest anime seasons direct from Japan, Nippon Ichi Software America have come with a set of two announcements – both based on series which have served the company well in the last year.
Information on both series are available below:
Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! Second Season Premium Edition
Mahiro has become accustomed to his protection detail of Nyaruko, Kuko, and Hasuta making his life interesting. Nyaruko starts scheming with Tamao to turn up the charm and sway Mahiro’s resolve, while Kuko reconsiders her own stance on love. Things get tricky as the gang deals with a monstrous monkey, an unexpected visitor from Kuko’s past, balancing love and duty, and of course, saving the world.
As always, Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! Second Season will be available in a premium edition set, comprising of the entire 12 episode season on Blu-ray in addition to a full-colour hardcover artbook and on-disc extras. You will be able to pick this series up from November 4th, 2014. Japanese dubbing only unfortunately.
Hanasaku Iroha the Movie: Home Sweet Home Premium Edition
In the days before the Bonbori Festival, Ohana’s friend Yuina comes to Kissuiso for training. While cleaning up after her, Ohana discovers a logbook kept by Beans from when her mother, Satsuki, was still a youth at Kissuisso. Through the logbook, Ohana catches a glimpse of her mother’s struggles, and realizes that maybe the two of them aren’t so different after all. Meanwhile, the rest of the inn staff are caught up in dealing with a blackout.
As with Nyaruko, Hanasaku Iroha the Movie will initially only be available as part of a pricier ($49.99) Premium Edition set containing the 66 minute film on Blu-ray with Japanese dubbing. The collection will also contain a full colour, hardcover artbook and a small collection of on-disc extra content. Check it out from October 14th, 2014.
