Deal: Texhnolyze Complete DVD+Soundtrack Bundle

Crunchyroll’s Deal of the Day involves one of the most highly acclaimed hard sci-fi/cyberpunk anime of the past decade in Texhnolyze with a great deal for collectors that may have missed out on the individual releases the first time around.

Originally released in 2005 by Geneon/Pioneer Entertainment, the series is set in Lux as the battleground of three factions: the Organo, the Union, and the Racan. Denizens of Lux have come to call it “The City” and treat it as a sentient force. The Organo, are a conglomerate with ties to the criminal underworld in the prosthetics business (“Texhnolyze”); the Union, are a populist group interfering with Organo’s affairs; and Racan are a marauding group of Texhnolyzed youths. The series follows Ichise, a prize fighter who loses a leg and an arm to satisfy an enraged promoter. As he struggles to accept his new robotic limbs and find a place where he belongs, he witnesses the major changes the city goes through.

The series also features character designs by famed designer Yoshitoshi ABe and the soundtrack is composed by Hajime Mizoguchi, Kojii Kasamatsu, Tsuneo Imahori and Keishi Urata along with contributions from Juno Reactor and Gackt. The bundle of six individual volumes is now available for $32+$4.99 shipping worldwide for regular members with Premium members pricing set at $29.99, a savings of $161.88 and $164.88 respectively from the original retail price for each volume when purchased together.
