The Ossan Newbie Adventurer U.K. Blu-ray Released on Monday

On Monday July 14, Crunchyroll will release a Blu-ray edition of The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible.

The "shōnen story aimed at middle-aged readers" follows Rick Gladiator, a guild clerk who strives to become an adventurer. Common sense says that it is best to start the path of an adventurer at a young age, as it takes training to gain magical powers. However, Rick is starting after he turned 30. Thanks to working with Orichalcum Fist, a legendary party of the most powerful adventurers in the land, he already lived an unimaginable life with top-ranking fighting abilities. With skills honed by literal "Monster-class" masters from dragons to vampires, Rick takes on one elite adventurer after another.

This is the television anime adaptation of Kiraku Kishima's novel series. Shin Katagai (Re:Stage! Dream Days) directed the anime at Yumeta Company. Kasumi Tsuchida (Lapis Re:LiGHTs) handled series composition. Mari Eguchi designed the characters. Tomotaka Ohsumi (Handyman Saitō in Another World) composed the music. Toshiki Kameyama (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!) was the sound director.

HJ Novels published the first novel volume in the ongoing series with illustrations by Tea (Villainess Level 99) in December 2018. Ken Ogino (Lady Justice) has been serializing a manga adaptation on Comic Fire since November 2019.

Crunchyroll will also release Blu-ray and DVD editions of My Hero Academia Season 7 Part 1, carrying episodes 139 to 150 of the series. Crunchyroll describes the volume:

"The heroes lose a powerful ally from the West and find a traitor in their midst. Worse yet, a strategy to separate the villains goes awry when Deku gets pulled to the wrong location. Every effort must count as the battle reaches new heights."

"Months after the Apocalypse, the players of Log Horizon have thrived thanks to food, music, and adventuring. Now in an alliance with other guilds, Shiroe leads a quest for treasure to support the city. But what awaits them is a raid boss unlike any other."

MVM will release Seasons 3 and 4 of the 2022 series of Urusei Yatsura, carrying episodes 24 to 46 of the series. The volume is described as follows:

"If drooling womanizer Ataru Moroboshi thought his life became complicated when he defeated bikini-clad alien invader Lum and she decided to move in, our human fool hasn't seen anything yet! Wish-granting bubble gum? Body swapping and time travel? Lum turning into a cow??? In fact, as the third and fourth seasons of Rumiko Takahashi's remade hit series continues to pile absurd adventure upon absurd adventure, the one thing that becomes clear is that our universe is not just much stranger (and funnier) than we imagine it is, it is, in fact, much stranger (and funnier) than we can imagine!"
