The second OVA episode will ship on Wednesday, November 30.
The first of eight planned DVD and Blu-ray Disc volumes shipped on October 26. Both the DVD and Blu-ray Disc volumes retail for 3,600 yen (about US$36), and include a "character commentary" written by NisiOisin, a 12-page booklet, and a clear case.
The OVA's cast includes:
Akiyuki Simbo (Bakemonogatari, Puella Magi Madoka Magica) is serving as chief director and working with Fuyashi Tou (Bakemonogatari, Nisekoi) on series composition. Yuki Yase (Nisemonogatari episode director) is directing.
