Toho announced today that a 4K remaster edition Blu-ray box of Genmu Senki Leda/Leda: The Fantastic

Adventure of Yohko is set to be released on June 19, 2019. It has been just 34 years since the 72-minute

anime was released in Japan on March 1, 1985, as one of the titles in the earliest days of Japanese OVA

(Original Video Animation).

  

The fantasy anime was directed by Kunihiko Yuyama (Pocket Monster), and acclaimed illustrator Mutsumi

Inomata (Utsunimiko, Tales series) served as character designer/chief animation director. Shiro Sagisu,

who later became famous for his Evangelion works, provided the soundtrack music. It became a huge hit

selling more than 30,000 units, then even got a theatrical release on December 21, 1985, along with the

first Vampire Hunter D OVA.

 

In addition to the DTS-HDMaster original monaural Japanese audio and an original theatrical trailer, the 

9,800 yen (about 88 US dollars) limited production box also comes with a special booklet (illustrations,

key animation drawings, never-seen-before production materials) and two reprint pamphlets for the OVA

and theatrical releases. And Inomata newly draws the box illustration.
