MVM Entertainment is going back in time a bit for the UK audience as they’re planning a re-release of the Haibane Renmei series. The distributor has set a June 27th, 2016 release for it on DVD only with pricing and further details to be announced. They originally brought it out in the UK back in the spring of 2005 and their last time releasing it was in December 2008, so a new release isn’t exactly a bad thing. Unfortunately, it looks like they couldn’t get in on the recent Japanese Blu-ray edition for materials.

The series was originally released in the US by Geneon/Pioneer and was eventually picked up again after the Universal Geneon merger by FUNimation and was released on DVD in their Anime Classics line in the fall of 2012.

Plot concept: A dream of falling from the sky… and then birth. Rakka is born from a large cocoon into the Old Home, greeted by a group of females with small wings on their backs and shining halos above their heads. Soon Rakka’s own wings grow, a halo is placed on her head and she is told that she must work in the nearby town of Grie. She soon realizes that the town and the entire world they live in are confined behind the Wall, a tall, impenetrable wall that none except the mysterious Toga are allowed to exit.
