[media-credit name=”NIS America” align=”aligncenter” width=”658″]katanagatari volume 2[/media-credit]NIS America has announced September 20th as the release date for the second volume of the Katanagatari fantasy period action anime. The initial release will follow NIS America’s Limited Edition release pattern and will be packaged in a collectors box containing both the Blu-Ray and DVD versions of the series with episodes 6-12 on each disc.

Bundled with the limited edition will be a hardcover slipcase for the discs along with the hardcover “The Epic of Shichika” artbook. The set will retail for $69.99 and is available for preorder now via RightStuf and other online retailers. A caveat for those looking forward to the Blu-Ray version, the release does take note to mention that the subtitles are “non-removable” which means they are encoded into the video track and not able to be toggled on or off.
