ADV Films originally licensed the first Utawarerumono TV anime, but FUNimation Entertainment later picked up the license. Sentai Filmworks announced earlier this month that it has licensed the Utawarerumono OAV.
The original Utawarerumono adventure simulation game takes place in a world where people have animal ears and tails, and rival generals battle for supremacy.
