[JP] Yama no Susume

[ultimatemegax]

Amazon put up the listing today, so let's climb that mountain! Released on May 24 for 7,350 yen (BD-only, I don't see a DVD version), this disc contains all 12 episodes. As a feature, you can watch the episodes continuously with or without the ED.

Included on the disc is a special 13th episode ("Bouldering Challenge!" (temporary name)) with shower scene(s), a CM collection, and a long video of the theme song "Staccado Days". The set itself will have a booklet of production materials, a Shiro newly drawn post card, and a event ticket application in a digipak inside a clear case. The cover art will be drawn by character designer Yuusuke Matsuo.

About time. I guess it's not until May because you kinda need all the eps to be out to do a one-shot release, though that should be done by, what, early April?

Series page (http://www.yamanosusume.com/bluraydvd/) only lists Blu-ray as well.

Reading the site page and the manga I see they have animated all of book one, added three anime only (or abridged with new titles from book two) episodes and the bonus episode 13 is the first chapter of book two which makes sense as it just came out in December. So... With book three coming in March there is room for one or two more seasons of this wonderful little show.

Actual title of the bonus episode is the same as the title of the manga chapter, "kabe nimo noborou!" or "Climb against the wall!"

It is about climbing an indoor climbing wall to learn the bouldering technique. They are sweaty afterward so they shower which is the now infamous marketing line about the Bluray as it seems everyone thinks it is a sweet and innocent show. In fact there is nothing bad about the scene in the manga, no fanservice really, just locker room and shower. I suppose the anime could liven it up.

The last few episodes are abridged from the second book of the manga, not new.

The French Toast they made in episode 11 was made in chapter 14, the second last in book two so aside from some skipped stuff highly likely for OVA like onsen they will have animation for all of the first two volumes. Book three just came out this week, got it! Chapters 16-23, great stuff! No Fin or next volume date however which is odd.

Manga volume 4 coming out May 11th, can't wait! Keep playing Staccato Days and looking forward to the BD later in the month as well. Tons of material for more seasons now...
