Full Moon blu-ray release imminent

[stepnix]

AnimEigo's edition of Full Moon o Sagashite (Looking for the Full Moon) is about to release! Part 1 in just a few days, Part 2 coming later. This series intrigues me first as a post-Sailor Moon throwback to the idol genre, and second as, well...

Mitsuki's a normal 12-year-old girl who dreams of becoming an idol singer... except she's dying of cancer. With a surgery looming that could damage her vocal chords, and a grandmother completely against Mitsuki's dreams of showbiz, it seems like her wish will never come true. But when she's visited by two shinigami - Takuto and Meruko - Mitsuki makes a promise. If they can help her fulfill her dream, then she will part with her soul willingly when the time comes.

...a much more melancholy premise than you'd expect from a magical idol throwback!

This is the first time the whole English dub will be released, after its original release plans were interrupted. Exciting times!

As a heads up, they have a sync error on disc 2 that wasn't caught before some early copies went out, so probably worth checking the audio sync on episode 19 to see if yours is affected. Sounds like if you bought directly from MediaOCD, they're automatically sending you a replacement instead of you needing to contact them, but good to know to be checking for it!
