MediaOCD to Release Vampire Princess Miyu Blu-ray With Blank Cover
MediaOCD and AnimEigo will release the restored HD Blu-ray of the 1988-1989 Vampire Princess Miyu OVA on or before September 8, 2026, but the disc will ship with a completely blank cover and slipcase. The company announced on May 29 that it had completed the HD remaster and sent packaging to Japan for approval over a year ago, but hit a procedural logjam in the Japanese copyright system that made no progress in over a year. MediaOCD founder Justin Sevakis stated that the company then discovered its license for the series expires next year, leaving no time for a proper release. To avoid letting the remaster go unreleased, MediaOCD decided to sell the Blu-ray exclusively through its own website with no artwork requiring approval. The release includes both the AnimEigo English dub and the Manga UK English dub, plus original Japanese audio. Pre-orders are open for $24.95. Sevakis added that if approvals ever come through for a real package, purchasers will be able to get one without rebuying the disc.
