In the summer of last year we brought the film Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry to cinemas in the United Kingdom just a week after it was in Japanese cinemas! We know you have been waiting patiently for news on our upcoming home video release of the film and just a few weeks ago we spilled the beans on what to expect – see our blog post HERE. But today we’re delighted to show you what the actual finished product looks like with an unboxing of it!
But before we get to that, a quick primer and/or recap to bring people up to speed on the film and our plans for the release.
MCM London Comic Con attendees: Before getting to tell you about the product itself and whatnot, we’re happy to confirm that the first opportunity to get your hands on this release will be next weekend at the MCM London Comic Con event (25-27th May 2018). We will have copies of this available to purchase (while stock lasts) from our stand, stall #1600 in the South Hall.
ABOUT “FAIRY TAIL: DRAGON CRY”
Synopsis: “The Dragon Cry is a magic artefact with enough power to destroy the world. Enshrined within a temple in the Kingdom of Fiore, the Dragon Cry is stolen by Zash, a traitor of Fiore, and delivered to Animus, the ruler of the Kingdom of Stella.
The task of recapturing the Dragon Cry falls to Natsu and the Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild. During their mission to track down Zash, they infiltrate the Kingdom of Stella, and it is here they meet Animus’ magician, Sonya…
What does Animus plan to do with the Dragon Cry? Sonya wants to save her country, but what secret is she hiding? Within the interlacing ulterior motives, Fairy Tail fights against the danger that is the menacing world!
And in the middle of this heroic battle, Natsu’s instinct awakens…“
