We’re big fans of Naoyoshi Shiotani (director of the two Psycho-Pass TV series and Psycho-Pass the movie) and when we had the opportunity to bring one his earlier works to Blu-ray and DVD we jumped at the chance. This earlier work of his being Tokyo Marble Chocolate. Today we’re delighted to bring an unboxing of our release that will be available from 29th May.
But before we show you our release a quick reminder that you can order your copy of this right now at Amazon UK, Zavvi, Base.com, Anime-on-Line and even our own web shop right now.
ABOUT TOKYO MARBLE CHOCOLATE
Synopsis: The directorial debut of Naoyoshi Shiotani (director of the Psycho-Pass series and Movie) comes to Blu-ray and DVD for the first time in the United Kingdom!
“Yuudai has difficulty expressing his feelings and his girlfriend, Chizuru, has trouble maintaining relationships. Trapped by their insecurities in a relationship thats going nowhere, they drift further and further apart. While Chizuru thinks this is the end of the road, Yuudai struggles desperately to overcome his cowardly nature before he loses what is most important to him.
There are two stories to every relationship, but can love survive if they don’t meet halfway?”
You can watch the trailer for this below –
What’s Inside? What’s on the Discs?
Our release comes packed inside a rigid case with a digipack to hold the two discs (1 x DVD and 1 x Blu-ray.) Also included inside the box is a 40 page booklet that includes character art & info, Director profile and even an interview with the director, Naoyoshi Shiotani himself.
On the discs you will find the two OVAs that comprise Tokyo Marble Chocolate in Japanese with English subtitles — no English dub was ever produced for this, so this is a subtitle-only release — and you will also find two music videos “FULL POWERED BOY” and “SEE YOU AGAIN”.
