Get ready to log into the world of “U” and discover your true self from the comfort of your own home! Anime Limited are delighted to announce that Belle, the latest anime sensation from Oscar-nominated director Mamoru Hosoda (Wolf Children, MIRAI) will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, as well as a special feature-packed 4K UHD Blu-ray Collector’s Edition that includes the film’s beloved soundtrack on 27th June 2022. The film will also be released on digital platforms before that date. Did someone say “Collector’s Edition”? Consider our interest well and truly piqued.
So, what does this particular Edition inclide? Well, here’s a pretty decent breakown of what keen anime fans can expect from this stunning set. The Zavvi and Anime Limited web store exclusive Deluxe Edition, which will not only include the film on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray, but will also be packed with bonus content: an additional Blu-ray disc with over 2-hours of extras, a CD of the film’s acclaimed Japanese-language soundtrack, a 60 page booklet, 16 double-sided art cards, and an A3 recreation of the UK theatrical poster all housed together in rigid collector’s packaging. Sign us up immediately.
Check it out below:
Of course, if collecting isn’t your thing, don’t worry. Alongside the release of this deluxe edition, fans will be able to grab their own copy on DVD and Blu-Ray. While it is very simple in comparison, just being able to watch Belle again will be an absolute delight. Regardless of the edition. Mark the dates in your calendars, Belle is on her way and she’s ready to make a grand entrance.
An original story inspired by the realisation that his own children will grow up in an increasingly online age, Hosoda’s Belle is the story of Suzu, a country girl who becomes a music sensation in the virtual world of “U” with the mesmerising avatar Belle. When her fame attracts the attention of a fearsome yet mysterious user known only as “Dragon”, Suzu will discover where the line between the online and offline self really lies.
Preorders for the Collector’s Edition will open on Thursday 28th April. Make sure you don’t miss out. Will you be grabbing a copy of Belle when it arrives this June? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
