FUNimation Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of director Ryôtarô Makihara's
Hal (
Haru), which features character designs from Io Sakisaka. The romantic sci-fi drama is produced by Wit Studio and will arrive via a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack at a currently unspecified date this fall.
Synopsis: Kurumi's heart was broken by the sudden death of her boyfriend in a tragic airplane accident. Forced to carry on without her beloved Hal, she fell into a reclusive and joyless existence. Kurumi had given up on the world, but a brilliant scientist devised a plan to win her back. By melding futuristic technology with the binary equivalent of human emotion, they created an ultra-lifelike robotic surrogate to take Hal's place – and lure Kurumi from her shroud of solitude.
