Aniplex of America Inc. announced today that the Garden of sinners - Blu-ray Disc Box will be imported from Japan and released in North America on February 8th, 2011 through anime distributor RightStuf.com. This highly anticipated release—featuring seven theatrical chapters, and an unseen bonus chapter, all subtitled in English over eight Blu-ray discs—is the latest example of the company’s objective to expedite its line-up of wildly popular properties to North America. To that end, the BD box will be released almost simultaneously with Japan’s release date (February 2nd), and will mark the first time that the Garden of sinners - Blu-ray Disc Box is officially made available in North America.

“We’re very excited that we can finally bring this epoch-making title to North America,” says Hideki Goto, the president of Animation Business of Aniplex of America. “Fans, movie enthusiasts and general viewers alike will become entranced by the films’ breathtaking visual beauty and the multilayered, evolving storylines, as well as the dynamic yet delicate music. For the creative staff, this was a painstaking labor of love, as their passion and energy went into the production of the release, so it would be a tremendous honor bestowed if every enthusiast in North America shares the same love and enthusiasm for the Garden of sinners - Blu-ray Disc Box. It’s our hope that you’ll find this a worthy showpiece to add to your collection to enjoy and treasure repeatedly.”
