With the series getting its standard definition return to the market last year as no HD sources were available, it’s now getting an actual HD release.
Based on the manga by Masamune Shirow, it was written and directed by Kazuyoshi Katayama with character designs by Yumiko Horasawa.
Which is why it was a delight that the original 1988 OVA was coming back into print as Discotek Media acquired the rights to it a couple of years ago.
Tied to the discovery of materials when the Project A-Ko material were found, the distributor has now set a January 25th, 2022 release for the OVA on Blu-ray.
