Unboxing [US]: Toradora! - Complete Series: Premium Edition (BD/DVD)

It's been a while but this particular release is here much earlier than I predicted (was expecting the set to be part of the second batch due at the end of July). Here's the latest NIS America set and also the first to be released with an English dub from them!


Toradora! is a romantic comedy slice of life series. The show aired in late 2008 and is originated from the light novel of the same name released in 2006.

This release is from NIS America. This set contains both the original Japanese audio with English subtitles and a brand new English audio track (also contains subtitles for the dub fans). The version that I picked up is the Premium Edition set which provides a massive chipboard artbox for the artbook and one big DVD case. The case holds all eight discs (four for each format). As the series sold out instantly when it was released, NIS decided to do a second batch which is stated to be released in a few weeks.

The NIS set is region locked to A and 1 only.
