MVM scratches our witch itch today with the Blu-ray/DVD combo release of the Grimoire of Zero Collector’s Edition. Adapted from a light novel series written by Kakeru Kobashiri and illustrated by Yoshinori Shizuma, the 12 episode fantasy series from White Fox (Goblin Slayer, Re:Zero) sees a half-tiger, half-human ‘Beastfallen’ known as Mercenary team up with the titular Zero – a youthful-looking witch seeking to recover her magical tome.

Another fantasy anime coming out this week courtesy of MVM is Granblue Fantasy The Animation Part 1. Adapting Cygames’ popular browser-based RPG, Granblue Fantasy is made by A-1 Pictures and follows the adventures of wannabe skyfarer Gran, his lizard-like companion Vyrn, mysterious blue-haired girl Lyria and her sword-wielding rescuer Katalina in a world of floating islands. This Blu-ray releases features episodes 1-7 of the series.

Anime Limited’s latest addition is a standard Blu-ray edition of 26-episode mecha show Gundam: Reconguista in G. Created for the franchise’s 35th anniversary, the Yoshiyuki Tomino-helmed series stars Bellri Zenam, a teenage cadet in the Capital Guards, whose mobile suits protect Earth’s vital space elevator. When space pirates attack, Bellri manages to capture a mysterious mobile suit piloted by a redheaded girl named Aida; a powerful mecha that only the pair of them are able to control…

Meanwhile, Manga Entertainment gives us Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters Part 2, out today on DVD and Blu-ray. Featuring episodes 122-144 of Toei Animation’s revised and remastered retelling of the original Dragon Ball Z story, this four-disc collection sees Goku and Majin Vegeta’s brutal battle building up energy for Majin Buu, breaking the seal that kept the ancient (and distinctly pink) evil contained and unleashing him upon the world.
