Katana Maidens Tomoshibi OVA Blu-ray

Katana Maidens: Tomoshibi receives its long-awaited anime adaptation! A completely new original-video animation stars the popular characters of Tojitomo. The sword-command battle RPG Katana Maidens: Kizamishi Issen no Tomoshibi launched alongside the original Katana Maidens television anime about sword-wielding shrine maidens who exorcise monstrous beings, and had surpassed 7.77 million downloads at the time of the announcement. This new OVA tells another story of the game-original maidens' struggles.

Popular performers return as familiar game characters. Himika Akaneya, also active in idol group i☆Ris, plays Mihono Asakura; Kaori Ishihara, who played Hitomi Tsukishiro in Iroduku: The World in Colors, plays Chie Setouchi; Hiromi Igarashi, Anzu Futaba in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, plays Kofuki Shichinosato; Akane Fujita, Sagiri Izumi in Eromanga Sensei, plays Kiyoka Rokkaku; and Manami Numakura, Tsubame Kamoi in UzaMaid!, plays Mirja Kito.

Story: The Akabane Sword Survey Team's main task is to investigate and collect scattered sacred swords. Mihono Asakura spends her days carrying out her duties and training with her teammates. Several months after the Great Year-End Calamity, the Special Sword Administration Bureau detects signs of an unidentified aradama on Enoshima. To find the creature after it disappears, the team welcomes a new Toji, Hirona Nitta, as a replacement for the recuperating Hana Suzumoto, and begins its search. Contains both the first and second parts.

Regular extras: cast audio commentary, promotional videos and commercials, and the textless ending.

Historical first-production extras: a three-sided case newly illustrated by original character designer Yoshinori Shizuma; a digipak newly illustrated by character designer Daisuke Niitsuma; a special booklet; and the OVA theme-song CD blurry shadow, performed by Mihono Asakura, Chie Setouchi, Kofuki Shichinosato, Kiyoka Rokkaku, Mirja Kito and Yui Yamashiro, voiced by Himika Akaneya, Kaori Ishihara, Hiromi Igarashi, Akane Fujita, Manami Numakura and Sumire Uesaka. The original Amazon offer applied even to reservations made before the bonus was announced, was limited to Amazon-sold and dispatched stock, and normally covered pre-release orders; remaining bonus stock could ship after release.
