posted on by Karen Ressler
North American anime distributor FUNimation Entertainment announced on Thursday that it has scheduled its release of Steins;Gate – The Movie – Load Region of Déjà Vu (Steins;Gate Fuka Ryōiki no Déjà vu) for March 28, 2017. Funimation is listing film on a Blu-ray Disc and DVD combo pack with both English and Japanese audio tracks.
The film reunites the Steins;Gate television series' cast and staff with a completely new story set after the "true end" of the television series. Funimation had announced in 2014 that it had licensed the film, and announced last October that its release was slated for 2017.
Steins;Gate – The Movie – Load Region of Déjà Vu opened in Japan in April 2013, and earned 550 million yen (about US$5.6 million) at the box office.
The 24-episode Steins;Gate television anime series premiered in April 2011. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired, and Funimation later released the series on home video in 2012 and again in 2014.
A rebroadcast of the original Steins;Gate anime in Japan took an alternate route toward the Steins;Gate 0 story last December. An anime adaptation of Steins;Gate 0 has been green-lit.
