Unboxing [UK]: Gonna Be The Twin-Tail!! - Complete Series (BD/DVD)
Friday, June 16, 2017
I've been after this series for a while now but it was always at a close SRP price tag (£40). I forgot to even pick it up at MCM Comic Con but now Zavvi had discounted the set for a low price of £15.99. I still had access to Unidays so I got a 10% discount as well.
Gonna Be The Twin-Tail!! (Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu.) is a 2014 anime adaptation of the novel of the same name from studio Production IMS and published by Fuji Creative Corporation.
This is a Funimation title for the UK so it's tweaked slightly compared to the North American version. For starters the UK set doesn't come with a slipcover and the BBFC is on the cover art. The inside contents does have an cover image but is not reversible. The 12 episode series comes with both an English dub and original Japanese audio with English subtitles. The regions for this set are identical to the US version by the looks of it, so A|B|1|2|4 with NTSC DVDs while the subtitles are locked on the Blu-ray discs.
