Kimi ga Nozomu Eien OVA - Haruka's path!

Up for order at CD JP!

since the series did so poorly in the US I doubt we will ever see this licensed =(

2 discs, 1 dvd with 1 episode and the 2nd disc is a CD image album.

If it gets an R3 Taiwan release I may pick it up. At that price, for me, the show isn't worth it. At Taiwanese prices it is.

I'm sure it will be R3. Otome Zwei has been R3, & other shows OVAs. (Aria OVA will be R3 as well probably)

I'm just sooo curious to see what happens with Haruka though.

If R1 licensed this with Akane Maniax, it would be a sweet package. :neko:

Hmm... if this is Vol. 1, I wonder how many volumes there'll be in total? Based on the catalogue numbers (BCBA-3148/3152), it won't be more than 4, but who knows.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. :)

Not sure how new this is, but cover art is up at CDJapan and there are better versions at the Bandai Visual site:

Limited Edition (http://product.bandaivisual.co.jp/web_service/images/b_image/BCBA-3148.jpg)
Regular Edition (http://product.bandaivisual.co.jp/web_service/images/b_image/BCBA-3152.jpg)

I'm extremely tempted by this, even though I'll have to rely on other means for translation. I want to have it in my collection (and support the show financially), and I'm assuming it is highly unlikely to be licensed in R1.

One thing I'm not quite clear on is whether the CD that comes with the LE is music or drama (for obvious reasons one is more appealing to me than the other). Everywhere just says "image CD", so would I be right to expect a combination of the two?

Heh. The covers make me wish I had pre-ordered the RE version rather than the LE one. I wonder when volume two will be solicited? Is it tri-monthly?

For the record, every image CD I've personally bought had one or two songs and one or two short dramas on it.

Volume 2 is scheduled for 22 February (see here (http://product.bandaivisual.co.jp/web_service/shop_product_info.asp?item_no=BCBA-3149) and here (http://product.bandaivisual.co.jp/web_service/shop_product_info.asp?item_no=BCBA-3153)). As pointed out earlier, from the catalogue numbers it looks like four volumes total.

Volume 2 is now listed at CD Japan:

Limited Edition (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=BCBA-3149)
Regular Edition (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=BCBA-3153)

The LE cover Haruka in dress & hat is the box illustration. RE cover Haruka with flowers is inside. So you get both. Check the CDJ page. :)

Had an email from CDJ that vol.2's release date has been pushed back to 25 March. Site confirms this.
