Over a year after the Japanese release of Escaflowne: The Movie on Blu-ray Disc, Bandai Entertainment has announced to bring Kazuki Akane’s theatrical adaptation to the USA in high definition as well.

Escaflowne is supposed to be released on September 15th and will (unlike the Japanese Blu-ray Disc release) include English subtitles and the English dub in Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (Yoko Kanno fans rejoice!). It’s still unknown if this release will be coming directly by Bandai Entertainment (like Sword of the Strager) or their elite sublabel Honneamise (Akira).
