Galactic Drifter Vifam Blu-ray Box 1

The journey of our thirteen companions begins! Sunrise's science-fiction anime Galactic Drifter Vifam, inspired by the adventure novel Two Years' Vacation, arrives in a long-awaited Blu-ray box release marking the fortieth anniversary of its television broadcast.

The series is released boxes. Thirteen children embark on a journey to rescue their families and friends. The entire programme receives a Full HD remaster from 2K film scans, delivering the emotions of its original television broadcast with upgraded image quality. The release introduction describes newly printed master-positive film, while the promotional feature text also references original-negative film scans. Kunio Okawara newly illustrates the three-sided box.

Story In the middle of the twenty-first century, humanity has ventured into space and established large colonies on the planets Creado and Belwick. The native alien Kukutonians regard this as an invasion and begin attacking the humans.

Separated from their families during the fighting, thirteen boys and girls cooperate to board the Earth military's deep-space training ship Janus and set out into space. Using the humanoid Round Vernian weapons aboard it, including Vifam, they desperately fend off enemy attacks as they head for Kukuto, the Kukutonians' home planet, where their abducted families are said to be held.

Contents and packaging Box 1 contains episodes 1–23 of the forty-six-episode series. A three-sided box features a new illustration by Kunio Okawara. The enclosed booklet includes a new interview with Okawara, setting materials and other content. This is the regular edition, with no separately sold limited-edition merchandise or retailer-exclusive gifts.

Video extras The first opening's creditless sequence, HELLO, VIFAM, and the creditless ending, NEVER GIVE UP, are included.
