While details are all still essentially tentative at this point, it looks like fans of one of the first Pioneer series released in the 90′s to LaserDisc is about to make the upgrade to Blu-ray at long last. Tentatively planned for a December 25th, 2013 release, El-Hazard: The Magnificent World is slotted with a 18,900yen price tag to it. With the lack of details, it’s not clear if it’s just the first seven episode OVA series or if it includes both, nor are there any details about the set potentially keeping the dub/subs that were done by Pioneer back in the day. The series, considered one of the best things Pioneer did in their expansion into creating original anime in the 90′s, has been unlicensed since Geneon USA shuttered their doors. The follow-up TV series was licensed and released by Nozomi Entertainment, but the original OVA series last saw release in 2011 in a nicely crafted box set from Pioneer.
