WHAT WE PLANNED FOR THESE RELEASES

The series is being released on Blu-ray over two Ltd Collector’s Edition sets. It’s worth noting from the outset that series was never dubbed into English, so both Parts 1 & 2 are subtitle-only releases. (Meaning in Japanese with English subtitles only.)

Let’s focus on Part 1 first.

Plastic Memories Part 1 – Blu-ray Collector’s Edition

Product: Plastic Memories Part 1
Format: Blu-ray Ltd Collector’s Edition
Release date: Available now
Cat. No.: ANI0229
Suggested Retail Price: £39.99

Part 1 includes episodes 1-7 over two Blu-ray discs inside an Amaray case. Additionally there’s also a box included that can also fit Part 2 (sold separately), so you can display the entire series together on your shelf!

On-disc extras on Part 1 include two Staff & Cast Talk sessions (one featuring four voice actors from the series, the other featuring people behind the scenes of the series) and web previews of episodes.

Now, onto Part 2 –

Plastic Memories: Part 2 – Blu-ray Collector’s Edition

Product: Plastic Memories Part 2
Format: Blu-ray Ltd Collector’s Edition
Release date: 2nd March 2020
Cat. No.: ANI0230
Suggested Retail Price: £39.99

Part 2 of the series will come with the remaining episodes (8-13) of the series over two Blu-ray discs inside an Amaray case.

Also included with this will be 6 art cards and a poster (34x40cm). It’s worth noting that these won’t be inside the amaray case itself; but will be under the cellophane around the outside of the Amaray case, safely secured via a bandolier.

On-disc extras for part 2 are web previews of episodes, as well clean versions of the Opening and Closing title sequences.

PHOTOS OF THE FINISHED PRODUCTS!

Want to get a better look at our release of the series? Check out some photos below! You can click to enlarge them too.

Let’s start with photos of Plastic Memories: Part 1

: First up, we have the front of the rigid case with the cellophane around it. The BBFC sticker you see is attached to the cellophane and not on the case itself.

: The reverse side of the rigid case, cellophane around it. The info sheet (aka, onsert) you see here is removable. It’s attached to the case with a few glue dots. Simply peel it away gently to remove.

: Here’s a look at all four spines of the rigid case with the cellophane around it.

: Now with the cellophane removed, here’s the front of the rigid case. As you can see (if you hadn’t already) there’s a beautiful metallic style spot UV finish that really makes the design pop in the light!

: And here’s what’s underneath the onsert once you’ve removed; it’s actually a continuation of the image from the front – more on that in a few moments

: Here’s all four spines of the rigid case with the cellophane removed.

: I mentioned the rigid case is one continuous image, here’s (an attempt to show you as best I can)

: Now onto the Amaray case

: You get two sleeves designs. The default design (top) and the alternate version (bottom)

: Inside the box, here’s disc 1…

: …and here’s disc 2

: That’s Part 1 in its entirety!

Now, let’s take a look at Plastic Memories Part 2

: So, first of all here’s the product with the cellophane around it. The white band (aka, a belly band) you see here is wrapped around the case itself to keep the contents in place under the cellophane.

: The reverse side of the box, cellophane around it. This info sheet you see here is actually attached to the belly band – it’s underneath. You simply need to slip the belly band off once you’ve removed the cellophane. Simple as that.
