Unboxing [US]: Eureka Seven - Part 2 (Blu-ray)
Wednesday, February 1, 2017
I have finally acquired the remaining Part 2 sets that I needed to own to complete the shows I got years ago. Here is the second half of the classic Eureka Seven series on Blu-ray.
Eureka Seven is a 2005 series from studio Bones and is currently one of the most popular shows in the anime community. The series went out of print at one point due to Bandai & Beez's demise but it was eventually rescued by Funimation (and here in the UK Anime Limited acquired the rights). Funimation put out the show on separate formats rather than a combo pack due to the 50 episode length.
This Part 2 release covers episodes 27-50 of the series in English & Japanese audio with English subtitles. The set is a standard product for Funimation where it's just a case and a slipcover. The case itself is smaller than Part 1 because it contains less discs (the previous part had a DVD for special interviews that were not in HD). The region is A only and the subtitles are unlockable.
