VIDEO: "Blazing Transfer Student" Blu-ray Ad

In 1991, Gainax reunited Project A-Ko director Katsuhiko Nishijima and character designer Yuji Moriyama on a two episode OVA adaptation of Kazuhiko Shimamoto's Shonen Jump comedy Blazing Transfer Student, in which the tranfer student of the title  joins a bully and "God's Hall Monitor" to box for a date with a lovely classmate.

 

A new special edition Blu-ray, featuring the anime remastered from the original 35mm original negative, is due March 19th.

 

This includes a bonus CD including original soundtrack by Kohei Tanaka, intro & outro themes, audio drama, as well as a 150-page booklet including a booklet "Hono no Tenkosei Anime Comics."

On disc special features include message footage from an original author and an animation director, teaser produced by Hideaki Anno, and more bonus video footage.

 

 

Since they're riffing on the same sort of story, Shimamoto has done a Kill La Kill crossover doujinshi
