BlazBlue Alter Memory Anime's English Dub Trailer Streamed

posted on by Karen Ressler
Series slated for Blu-ray/DVD pack on June 30

FUNimation Entertainment began streaming an English-dubbed trailer for the BlazBlue Alter Memory television anime on Friday.

The series will ship on a DVD and Blu-ray combo pack on June 30.

Most of the cast members are reprising their roles from the BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma fighting game. The English dub cast includes:

Laura Bailey provided the voice of Platinum the Trinity in the games, while Ezra Weisz played the role of Nago in the games. Funimation has not announced the English dub actors for the characters Taokaka and Iron Tager.

BlazBlue Alter Memory is based on Arc System Works' BlazBlue fighting game series, and adapts stories from the BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift installments of the series. Funimation describes the story:

Catch all your favorite BlazBlue characters in action in this thrilling anime based on the popular fighting game franchise!

Long ago, an insidious black beast sought to obliterate the human race, but the monster was defeated by a valiant Band of Heroes wielding the power of Ars Magus: a potent combo of magic and technology. Now, a roguish outlaw known as Ragna the Bloodedge seeks to wreak havoc upon the Librarium, a clandestine organization that governs Ars Magus. Armed with the mighty Azure Grimoire, Ragna quickly becomes the target of vigilantes, scientists, vampires, and Librarium foot soldiers. As he spirals toward a violent showdown with the maniacal Hazama, Ragna will discover just how closely his fate is tied to the future of our world!

Discover the story behind gaming's deadliest moves in this series from the animation studio behind the BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma cutscenes!

The TV anime series premiered in Japan in October 2013, and Funimation streamed the series as it aired. Funimation licensed the series for home video last August.

Arc System Works released BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma EXTEND in Japan on April 23, while Aksys Games will release the game in North America during the summer release window.
