posted on by Andrew Osmond
On Monday December 20, Funimation will release standard and Limited Blu-ray editions of Kyoto Animation's 2011 series Nichijou, adapted from Keiichi Arawi's comedy manga. The Limited edition includes six art cards and a 40-page art book.
The 26-part series revolves around a group of female students living what would be a normal high school life, except that it also includes talking cats, robots, deer-wrestling, and other strange anomalies. Funimation describes the series:
"Nichijou primarily focuses on the daily antics of a trio of childhood friends—high school girls Mio Naganohara, Yuuko Aioi and Mai Minakami—whose stories soon intertwine with the young genius Hakase Shinonome, her robot caretaker Nano, and their talking cat Sakamoto. With every passing day, the lives of these six, as well as of the many people around them, experience both the calms of normal life and the insanity of the absurd. Walking to school, being bitten by a talking crow, spending time with friends, and watching the principal suplex a deer: they are all in a day's work in the extraordinary everyday lives of those in Nichijou."
Funimation will also release a collected edition of the 25-part first season of The Rising of the Shield Hero on Blu-ray and DVD.
