First-ever OVA Dallos to gain Blu-ray release in March 2023

The first-ever OVA Dallos will see a special physical release for its 40th anniversary.

Announced yesterday, Dallos will be released on Blu-ray next March via Bandai Namco Film Works' EMOTION label. The four-episode OVA series will be remastered with the help of Dallos director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost In The Shell, The Sky Crawlers). The release features a slew of bonus content, including the documentary Remember Daros 1983-2003 and the pilot film featured alongside the original release of DALLOS Special. Dallos was recently released on DVD back in 2014 via Discotek Media.

Dallos is currently streaming on Crunchyroll right now. A synopsis for the series reads:

Shun Nonomura is a young man out of Monopolis, a sprawling miner's colony on the lunar surface. His people mine essentials for Earth. In the late 21st century, Earth's resources are depleted and the planetary government has resorted to authoritarian rule to get what they want. As the put-upon miners start to organize a revolt, they come under attack from Earth's new lunar commander, Alex Rigel. As Shun's idealism and Alex's chilly pragmatism clash, Monopolis is thrown into chaos. The last, best hope for victory lies within a mysterious alien artifact the lunarians worship as a god: Dallos!
