German Distributor Kaze Deutschland brought out the first volume of Brynhildr in the Darkness back in August but it’s the release of the second volume this week that has gotten them to bring out their first trailer for it. It’s one that works out well to showcase the dub cast and how well aspects of it works in the German language. The show is getting a four-volume release that covers the run on separate DVD and Blu-ray editions. The DVDs are priced at 30 euro each and the Blu-ray’s at 40 euro. The solicitations at the moment don’t reveal whether they’ll be dubbed in German or not.

Plot Concept: A high school senior Murakami Ryota had a childhood friend called Kuroneko who died in an accident. Ryota had made a promise with Kuroneko that he will prove there are aliens in the universe. In order to fulfill his promise, he joined the astronomy club at the school as its only member and kept observing the stars almost every night. One day, a girl who looks like Kuroneko transferred into his class. To his surprise, the girl’s name is Kuroha Neko which is really similar to his childhood friend’s name. However, it seems that there is something unusual about her. It turns out that she is a witch who actually escaped from a research laboratory.
