Sequel series based on PS2 romance game to get subtitled DVD release next year

The North American anime licensing company Sentai Filmworks announced on Tuesday that it has licensed the Amagami SS+ television anime series. The company plans to release the series digitally, and then on subtitled DVD next year.

The 13-episode series originally aired in Japan from January to March. Tomoki Kobayashi (Sola, Tears to Tiara, Ichigo 100%) directed the series at studio AIC.

Like the first Amagami SS anime, Amagami SS+ adapts Enterbrain's PlayStation 2 romance simulation game Amagami . The original game centers around a second-year high school boy who find himself uneasy during Christmastime due to an experience in the past. However, this year at Christmas, he gets his last chance to ask out a graduating female senior named Haruka Morishima — or one of several other classmates.

Sentai Filmworks previously released the first Amagami SS season in North America in two sets in September and November 2011.
