Negima News: Negima! Anime Blu-ray Box Set Announced. Gold Foil Pactio Card Reprints!
It was announced earlier today that Negima’s anime was slated for a blu-ray release in June (in Japan) in celebration of the UQ Holder anime release later in the year. This means the entirety of the anime that was released. The complete set will be separated into three volumes, the first being the original Negima! anime, the second box being Negima!?, and the third by the collection of OAD’s, which were previously released in a blu-ray box set.
The full set will include a CD set containing relevant songs to the series, such as the famous “Happy ☆ Material”. The box and CD sleeve will feature art, presumably featuring Ken’s new art style. Also included is a booklet containing new interviews and more. Lastly, the popular gold foil pactio cards that were previously released with Negima’s vol. 37 manga will be making a reappearance as a reprint and will be separated into the three volumes! Buying all the volumes will earn you an additional bonus item!
Wow, they’re doing quite a bit to lead up to UQ Holder’s animated release, aren’t they? I know Negima’s anime wasn’t terribly popular among fans, but are you looking forward to this blu-ray box set release, even if it’s for the sake of the goodies it’s bundled with?
