2026 Escaflowne Anniversary Stuff!
Alright, here's what we know about the 25th movie/30th series anniversary releases coming in 2026 so far:
There will be a new "MEMORIAL" Japanese Blu-Ray boxset of the series AND the movie on sale starting 25 March 2026. The price is already known. There is going to be an extra disc with 60 minutes of extras as well, including new ones: a roundtable discussion with Kazuki Akane (director), Tomokazu Seki (Van), and Shinichiro Miki (Allen); and a "Memorial" PV of Yakusoku wa iranai. The new box art will be done by Kimitoshi Yamane (mechanical design), and the concepts are what you can see on the title picture and previously reblogged post. These concepts as well as all the bonuses are listed as a subject to change, so there may be more surprises. There are also going to be seller-specific item bonuses such as print sets and acrylic stands of the existing official artworks.
A "REVIVAL" screening of the movie will be conducted on 20 March 2026 at six select cinemas all across the country.
All the 5 OST CDs will be rereleased as well! Random 100 customers will also win a special vinyl single release of Yakusoku wa iranai and Yubiwa.
More info on the website in the source.
NOTE: I researched this real quick so the "changes reserved" applies to this post as well. I'm hype tho and have hopes for even more anniversary stuff coming next year!
