Aniplex's US equivalent, Aniplex of America announced at its FanimeCon panel that they will release the Ruruoni Kenshin OVA and film on BluRay Disc in North America the same days that they will ship it Japan.
Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal OVA costs US$64.98 and will ship from Right Stuf and Bandai Entertainment's online stores on August 24, and the Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection OVA will ship on September 21. Finally, Rurouni Kenshin The Movie will come out on October 26. Both BluRay Disc cost US$54.98.
The BluRay Discs for the anime titles are direct imports from the Japanese edition except that they will add an English-translated booklet. The BD releases will have new cover illustrations by animation director, Atsuko Nakajima (Trinity Blood, Ranma ½, You're Under Arrest!). It was also confirmed last month that the release includes Japanese and English subtitles and the ADV Films' English dub.
During its panel, Aniplex acknowledged that negotiations are ongoing for licensing both Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Bakemonogatari. Aniplex added, "Stay tuned."
Pre-orders for the new Blu-ray Discs releases will start on June 1.
