With shades of Ah! My Goddess and a rocking opening theme, the original series of Mamotte Shugogetten earned enough of a following to receive an eight-episode OVA. Sadly, the OVA never got a proper box set release. Fortunately for fans, that's being rectified this year.
Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten returns to schoolboy Tasuke, his moon spirit "guardian angel" Shaorin, and the rest. The series was originally released from 2000-2001. This new Blu-Ray box will use FORS technology to create what's expected to be some beautiful HD video of all eight episodes.
The set will also include a variety of digital and physical bonuses. Scenes cut from the first episode will be available to watch, as well as a cast interview. The set will also include a booklet with never-before seen artwork.
A few stores are already promising special bonuses, too. Animate will include an A4-size clear file, and Amazon.co.jp will be offering an A3 tapestry along with box set orders.
The Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten box set goes on sale December 6 for 16,000 yen (about $144.25).
