The special-edition two-disc Blu-ray Disc release will include a case with illustration by assistant director Chie Uratani, special inner jacket, and 100-page booklet for 9,800 yen (about US$88).

The anime based on Fumiyo Kōno's To All The Corners Of The World (Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni) manga opened in Japan on November 12 and earned over 2 billion yen (about US$17.58 million) at theaters. Shout! Factory and Funimation Films announced in May that they are partnering to release the film in United States theaters. The movie is set to screen in the U.S. on August 11. The film will open in the United Kingdom on June 28.
