WHAT’S INSIDE? WHAT’S ON THE DISCS?
Our Ltd Collector’s Ed. Blu-ray release is limited to 500 units only! It comes packaged in a rigid case featuring a variety of the characters on either side of it. And to make a bit extra shiny, and spot-uv finish has been applied! (See what we mean further down in this post) Inside the rigid case you’ll find a digipack to house the two Blu-ray discs. You’ll notice it’s designed to look like one of the school bags you see in the series.
Also inside the rigid case are three vinyl stickers that have varying designs of the Aqours logo, and as if that wasn’t enough there’s a 20-page booklet that includes art from the series, cast interviews, group & member information for various characters and more.
On the discs themselves you’ll get all 13 episodes of Season 1 with English and original Japanese with English subtitles language options. Extras on the discs include promotional videos and the textless opening song “Aozora Jumping Heart”.
