Unboxing [US]: Keijo!!!!!!!! - Complete Series: Limited Edition (BD/DVD) [NSFW]

Thanks to the DeepDiscount 15% sale I acquired Keijo which is a show about life, hometown and of course insane bizarre fights.

Adding the Not Safe For Work tag as well since this is a fanservicey set.


Keijo!!!!!!!! is a 2016 anime series based on the manga of the same name written by Daichi Sorayomi. The anime was adapted by studio Xebec, directed by Hideya Takahashi and published by Warner Bros Japan. While Yuri!!! on ICE was the most popular anime series during the Autumn 2016 season, Keijo managed to get a surprisingly amount of attention across the worldwide community. The show was big enough that Funimation gave the series a limited edition release so I guess that helps. However the author sadly had to conclude his original work so the anime isn't likely to receive any more continuations whatsoever but it does a good job at representing the show's fun battles throughout.

As I mentioned with YOI, the Crunchyroll & Funimation partnership combined with Sony tagging along  has effectively messed up the distribution for the UK & Ireland so many of us are left with no choice but to simply import for the time being (with the plus side being a number of Crunchyroll titles being released with Region B compatibility).


The limited edition release from Funimation is their new revised style approach where they are trying to offer more value to the sets themselves. The price is still $84.98 but now we have booklets and other stuff to go with it when available, plus the set now uses one Blu-ray case rather than two slim ones. The Keijo set has a calendar that is separate from the box while the artbook is inside with the series.

The set features 2 Blu-ray and 2 DVD discs with English & Japanese audio with English subtitles. I can confirm that it will work on UK players as the discs are regions A & B for Blu-ray and 1, 2 & 4 for DVD. The subtitles are unlockable on both formats. OVAs are included however it is only available in Japanese with English subtitles.
