A few days after the show’s nomination for the Tokyo Anime Award Festival, Sentai Filmworks announced yesterday that they have acquired the license for home releases for Knights of Sidonia. Knights has been getting a lot of buzz lately, and with all of the stuff that will be included with this release, that buzz is only bound to get bigger. Here’s a run down of what was talked about during the Twitter Q&A last night from the press release.

  • YES, we will be doing a Collector’s Edition of Knights of Sidonia, packed with exclusive content and other goodies.
  • YES, it will include the Dub included in the original US run of the series.
  • YES, there will be a 5.1 Japanese audio track in the release. Additionally, we will also have an EXCLUSIVE 5.1 English mix as well. Other language/subtitles options include a Spanish language track as well as Japanese 5.1 with English, Spanish and French subtitles.
  • We have acquired EXCLUSIVE “altrernate angles” for Knights of Sidonia. They could be considered Director’s Cuts of all epsiodes.
  • The set will also include Behind the Scenes extras, as well as footage from the KoS creators’ Q&A panel in Japan and the Advanced Screening.
  • The Box set will come with extra exclusive art and goodies as well.

Yeah, there’s a lot of stuff going into this package. Unfortunately, the one thing that was missing from this press release was the release date. When that turns up, you can catch it here.
