[UNBOXING] Kiznaiver

We’re very excited to be releasing the series Kiznaiver later this month (on 24th September) and hot off the production line we’re delighted to show you what you can expect from our Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-ray set, along with the AllTheAnime.com Exclusive Deluxe Hardback Art Book! (If you’re not familiar with what that is, have no fear, all will be explained below.)

So sit back, relax, grab a drink and have a look at what we’ve got for you!

ABOUT “KIZNAIVER”

An original TV anime series by acclaimed animation studio TRIGGER (Kill la Kill) and the renowned writer Mari Okada (Maquia: When the Promised Flowers Bloom, The Anthem of the Heart).

Synopsis: “Even within the confines of the futuristic Sugomori City, Katsuhira Agata is a very unique high school boy – someone who simply cannot feel any pain whatsoever. Bullied and isolated, his world is set to shift seismically when he meets a strange girl named Noriko Sonozaki.

Before he knows it, Agata has been linked to a number of his classmates as part of a group created to share any pain each of them feels via a system known as “Kiznaiver”. Tasked with various trials by Sonozaki as they serve as guinea pigs under the Kiznaiver system, could Agata and his new comrades’ experiences be the key to their own self-discovery?”

Check out a subtitled trailer for the series below.

WHAT’S INSIDE? WHAT’S ON THE DISCS?

Our Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-ray set comes packed in a rigid case that has an image design wrapping around the box sporting a special spot UV finish on it, making it really pop out in the light. Inside the case you’ll find a digipack pack to hold the two Blu-ray discs, and a 40-page art book focusing on artwork from the series. Worth noting here is that an element of the digipack has a spot UV effect on it too!

On the discs themselves you get –

The complete series of Kiznaiver (12 episodes) in English and Japanese with English subtitles.
On-disc extras across the two discs are: Clean Opening and Closing Title Sequences, Japanese trailer and commercials.

All the anime online shop Exclusive version

If you’re wanting something a little more when it comes to this series, we have a special bundle exclusive to our AllTheAnime online shop!

While the basic format of the Collector’s Edition itself remains the same regardless of where you purchase it, this Shop Exclusive bundle will also ship with a substantially expanded, comprehensive white cover art book alongside the black cover 40-page book within the box itself – it’s bigger (B5 in size, to be precise, so it will sit on your shelf or coffee table separate to the rest of the package), and contains a vast amount of additional character artwork and illustrations totalling 116 pages overall! The additional book created for this Shop Exclusive release is, in effect, a full-blown artbook similar to those you’ll often find sold in Japan, and it’s the first and most comprehensive collection of Kiznaiver artwork for a western audience you’ll find.

Again, this Deluxe Hard Cover Art Book can only be purchased as part of the bundle available to order now at AllTheAnime.com.

Section 1: Ltd Collector’s Edition Blu-ray

The rigid case, cellophane around it. NOTE: The BBFC logo is a sticker on the cellophane, not on the box itself.

Reverse side of rigid case, cellophane around the box. This info sheet can be removed. It’s attached with a couple of glue dots. Simply peel away gently to remove.

All four sides of the rigid case, cellophane around the box.

The front of the rigid case, cellophane removed. You’ll notice a glimmer in part of the image, that’s the spot UV finish coming onto play and really shining in the light.

Some of you might be wondering how the image looks around the case. Here’s an image to give you an idea of how it works out. (Again, the spot-uv finish coming onto play in this image.)

The digipack. Outer side (top) and inner side with discs in place. You’ll notice there’s even a spot UV on part of the outer side of this too!

The inner side of the digipack pack. Discs in place (top) and removed (bottom)
