Unboxing [US]: Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Volume 3: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

Next up on the unboxing is the third and final volume of three from the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series. This series was released by Aniplex of America and have nicely provided the set with lots of goodies. This is my fourth Aniplex USA product (Baccano! and Madoka Magica Volume 1-2 were the first three), and was imported from North America.


This Limited Edition set is a Blu-ray and DVD combo pack of the final four episodes in the Madoka Magica series, episodes nine to twelve. The Box Set also includes a variety of extras ranging from Yuki Kajiura's third OST from Volume 6 of the Japanese volumes to booklets and reversible sleeves. There are two discs included in this set, one for Blu-ray and the other for DVD. Like every product released from Aniplex USA, the Blu-rays are region free while the DVDs are restricted to region 1 only. Note I won't show everything as I would like the rest to be seen by your own eyes rather than looking at these pictures (as a surprise at least).
