With the end of the first OVA DVD releases this month, the next round i.e. the semi-finals arc against Shitenbouji will be released from 22 June 2007 (Friday)! At the moment, it is still unknown as to how many volumes there would be in this series but the following information has been confirmed:
1) Bandai Visual will release the sales version of the DVD while Marvelous Entertainment will handle the rental releases.
2) Vol 1 contains 2 episodes. Ep 1 will feature the match between Fudoumine and Shitenbouji while Ep 2 will mark the beginning of the clash between Seigaku and Shitenbouji by starting off with the Fuji Shuusuke vs Shiraishi Kuranosuke match.
3) In the first press version of the sales DVD, there will be a box included for fans to put all volumes from the semi-finals series.
4) The audio commentary feature for the DVDs will remain with various lineups in each volume.
Since the semi-finals arc has been slated for release, this seems to signify that the finals will definitely be covered in the OVA releases too! That's good news for fans like myself who are worried about seeing the series end right before the most exciting matches are to take place.
I'm eagerly awaiting the finals since I really think that it would be a Seigaku vs Rikkaidai clash again (unless Konomi-sensei gets some unknown school to spring a surprise which I think many would be quite unhappy about). I've not been following the Shounen Jump releases recently but the last time I read it at Kinokuniya which was one month back, I think they were still at the Shitenbouji arc. As such, it would be probably some time before the manga gets to the finals which in turn means a longer wait for it to be made into the anime version.
