It looks like the long-delayed Yamibō is getting a second chance to shine!
Earlier this week, Media Blasters announced that they will release Yamibō (Yami to Bōshi to Hon no Tabibito) on Blu-Ray. Though the company declined to state a specific release period, they did confirm that the Blu-Ray will feature the uncensored version of the show.
Furthermore, Media Blasters will host a program, which will allow folks who bought the DVD to upgrade their copies to the Blu-Ray release.
Yamibō is based on the visual novel of the same name by developer Root. The series, which aired in the fall 2003 broadcast season, was directed by Yuji Yamaguchi (Fate/stay night, Angel Links) at Studio Deen. Tomomi Mochizuki (Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen) took charge of series composition on the project, while Asako Nishida (Active Raid, Love Live! School Idol Project) provided character designs.
Media Blasters announced that they acquired the series in 2013, and planned for a release later in the year. Due to a series of delays, though, Yamibō found its way to store shelves on March 31. Media Blasters is unable to dub the series, as they couldn’t acquire a separate music and effects track.
