Deno Boukenki Webdiver — Anniversary BD-BOX, Standard Edition

A Blu-ray box celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Webdiver! The robot anime Webdiver, broadcast on television for a year beginning in 2001, comes to Blu-ray in 2021, its twentieth anniversary year. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, its world and story attracted attention by quickly incorporating the background of a network society in its infancy. This ambitious production combines modelled CG mechanical designs with traditionally drawn characters. Its opening and ending themes have not faded with time and remain beloved songs. Each disc contains approximately ten hours: a compact edition with a full programme. The final episode is included in its broadcast and extended versions. The jacket features a new illustration by Toshinari Yamashita, who worked on the series' mechanical settings.
