UQ Holder News: More Info on UQ Holder Volume 14 Limited Edition and OAD

Picture
Additional info was released on the UQ Holder Volume 14 Limited Edition today, including the contents and the OAD's plot synopsis. There will be minor spoilers ahead, so be warned!

The OAD will be partially different from the manga, featuring an original scene where UQ members go to a hot spring and discuss their first loves. This leads to Yukihime discussing her first encounter with love 500 years prior, which leads to her time as 16 year old Kitty meeting Touta for the first time at Dana's. Whether that part differs from the manga or not has yet to be revealed.

As for the limited edition's contents, along with the manga (we've been told it might be hardback) and DVD containing this new episode, it's set to include a Pactio Card! We're yet to see who may be on it, but we're excited nonetheless. A sample of the DVD case cover (which can be seen above) was also released.

Both versions of volume 14 will release on September 8th, but only the limited edition will include these goodies.

Are you guys excited for this OAD? Have an idea of who's on the Pactio Card?

More cast of the upcoming UQ Holder anime was revealed today, some verifying that actresses would be returning to their roles.

  • Yukihime/Evangeline A.K. McDowell - Matsyoka, Yuki
    Though this may have already been public, the voice actress of Evangeline comes back to her role and will also be doing the voice of the older form, Yukihime. Matsyoka is also known for her roles suh as Orihime Inoue from Bleach, Tsuruya from the Haruhi Suzimiya series, Hinata Hino from Mirai Nikki, and Nana from Elfen Lied.

  • Kuroumaru - Hirose Yuuki
    Hirose is rather new to the voice acting world and only has a few credits under her belt. She has played Noriko Yamada from Alice to Zoroku and Tomoe Akizuki from Minami Kamakura High School Girls Cycling Club.

  • Negi - Satou Rina
    Satou returns to the cast as the voice of Negi once again. She'll also be voicing older Negi Springfield. In addition, you may recognize her voice from such roles as Vert from Hyperdimension Neptunia, Shura Kirigakure from Blue Exorcist, and Sailor Mars from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal.

Merchandise News: Negima Anime Blu-ray BOX - Spring/Summer OVA's Announced and Exclusive Bonuses Revealed


​For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Blu-ray box sets, we have covered their contents before, so be sure to give it a look!

It was announced earlier that it was decided the Spring and Summer OVA's would be present in the Blu-ray release. They will be released in BOX II, along side with Shaft's first adaptation, Negima!?

With that, nearly all of Negima's anime will be receiving a Blu-ray release!

​In other news, sample images for exclusive bonuses for BOX I have been released. We covered a few stores briefly before, but by ordering the box sets from specific stores, its own unique bonus item is included with it. Each box is going to get its own bonus item, so if you plan on ordering it, make sure you pick the seller with a bonus you want!

Sofmap: A4 Clear File
Gamers: Acrylic Keychain
Animate: Original Promotional Trading Card
Amiami: Phone Card
Chara-ani: B2 Tapestry
Neo-Wing: A4 Portrait
King e-SHOP: Negi & Class Pin Set (Negi and students 1-9)

Reminder: These bonuses are only for BOX I.
The designs of the bonuses are not completely finalized, so they may undergo change before the release.
It's interesting that the bulk of the merch used the original DVD designs, with no repeaters, but each item is different. With two more boxes to go and more bonuses, I wonder if cover designs will be repeated.

Which bonus do you like the most? 
Huge thanks to minopop for letting us know the news! Be sure to continue checking for future updates and news!
