Geneon has announced that it will release the final volume of its Captain Herlock DVD series the first week of August, along with a bonus DVD containing over 80 minutes of additional material.

 

Captain Herlock:  The Final Voyage (Volume 4) is a two DVD set at a MSRP of $29.98, containing the final three episodes on one disc and a full-length multi-angled storyboard, as well as an art gallery and interviews with Leiji Matsumoto and Taro Rin on the bonus disc.

 

This set is also available with a Limited Edition Collector's Box, at a $39.98 MSRP, which has space to house all four volumes of the series (see 'Geneon Schedules Captain Herlock:  The Legend Returns').

 

According to Geneon's Chad Kime, the bonus DVD was included with Vol. 4 because the bonus material, some of which would normally have been included with each of the volumes in the series, wasn't completed until recently.   

 

Similarly, the box art for the collector's slipcase wasn't available in time to be offered with the first volume, as is normally done.
