Sentai Filmworks to release fantasy anime series on DVD/Blu-ray on December 15
Sentai Filmworks announced with a video on Tuesday that Joanne Bonasso will play Akari Acura in its English dub of the Chaika the Coffin Princess anime.
Sentai Filmworks will release Chaika the Coffin Princess on DVD and Blu-ray on December 15. It describes the anime's story:
The end of the war with the Gaz Empire only meant unemployment for former Saboteur Toru Acura. So when he collides with fate in the form of a young girl carrying a coffin through a forest, it doesn't take much convincing for Toru and his similarly inclined step-sister Akari to join young wizard Chaika on her bizarre quest: to collect the scattered body parts of the former Emperor. Unfortunately, the severed pieces were carried off by the Heroes who killed him, and some think that reassembling them could restart the war! On top of that, Chaika may not be who she claims to be, as there are others conducting similar missions all across the kingdoms. Is Chaika a dead man's daughter, picking up the pieces for burial, or is there something far more sinister in the works? The winds of war are stirring and there are dragons waiting in the darkness ahead for CHAIKA – THE COFFIN PRINCESS!
The first season based on Ichiro Sakaki's light novel series premiered in April 2014, and the second season premiered in October. Crunchyroll streamed both seasons as they aired in Japan. Yen Press published the second volume of Shinta Sakayama's manga adaptation on September 25.
