Little Busters! Refrain Anime to release in English in 2015

Key News Blog Discussion
#1

Sentai Filmworks have announced that they will be releasing Little Busters! Refrain on DVD and Blu-Ray on the 20th of January, 2015. Sentai's acquistion of the series was announced in late 2013 with a promise of a 2014 release, so it's been a long wait, but very soon customers in North America will finally be able to own the conclusion to the Little Busters! anime series in English. The release contains all 13 episodes with both an English dub, and Japanese dub with English subtitles. Distribution in other countries is bound to follow shortly after the release in North America. It will be releasing with an SRP of $59.98 USD and $69.98 USD for DVD and Blu-Ray respectively.

To our knowledge, there's been no news of a localisation of the Little Busters! EX series of OVAs yet, but we'll be sure to report if any news does arise.

Will you be picking this release up? I know my collection of Blu-Rays is feeling lonely without the conclusion of the story, but living in Australia, I'll be patiently waiting for Hanabee Entertainment to bring it here.

SURE AM STILL WAITING FOR SEASON 1 IN ENGLAND.

An announcement would be nice.

#3

Still nothing in England? That’s rough :c

#4

I’ve been asking through some german publishers and sadly no one is planning on releasing Season 1, so I dont see chances for Refrain at all.

#5

I already have Refrain preordered, though I’m still waiting for Sentai to release season 1 in a single package because as much as I liked season 1, I’m not wanting to drop a total of $90 for it.

#6

It might be a North American release, but you can buy it on Rightstuf. Season 1’s split into two parts for a total of $90 (56 pounds) and Refrain is available for preorder for $36 (22 pounds). That is assuming that you’d get the same prices that I’d get, and I’m pretty sure international shipping’s going to be a bitch too, but it’s there.

#7

I’m gonna probably import this even if it’s region locked. I’m dying to watch this in dub.

#8

Yeah I know I can get NA versions.
I’m also not playing so much on cartoons for the sake of owning them.

#9

What about for the sake of supporting them?

#10

I will definitely buy this as soon as it releases in PAL Format. ^^

#11

Well Australia and Europe share the same Blu-Ray region, so you could import the Blu-Ray from us when we get it~

#12

I’m not sure if I’m late for party but Australia release is confirmed coming. Instant buy 4 me
