When Touya Mochizuki is killed, god decides he didn't deserve to die and instead gives him another life one he can enjoy.

In his new world, Touya has it all, fame, money and adoration from a whole harem of female admirers which is something he has to get used to pretty quick!

From October 29th In Another World With My Smartphone will be available as a DVD and Blu-ray Combo pack along with loads of bonus material that makes it worthwhile as well as containing all 12 episodes which are approximately 25 minutes each.

You would think he had the perfect time though you wouldn't when you see how he has to cope with being hit out of the blue by a lightening bolt. Gods interaction and granting Touya's wish of a special smartphone is what most teenagers would want, though this new phone is different, it acts as a guide to all the fun stuff he will find in his new world.

Funimation is known for Attack on Titan and lucky for us we have the voice acting talent of Josh Grelle from the English language dub. Touya is being given another chance to make a real go of his life this time around minus any stray thunderbolts.

It seems he got more than he bargained for with his growing harem around him. With a load of bonus features, this combo pack is almost too short of a complete series for fans who want more, but it is sweet.

This anime is based on the novel series by Patora Fuyuhara and Eiji Usatsuka, animated by Production Reed, directed by Takeyuki Yanasae and scripted by Natsuko Takahashi. The anime comes in its original Japanese language as well as the English dubbed version for those who like the idea of their favourite characters speaking in English. Japanese voice actors are Katsumi Fukuhara, Chinatsu Akasaki and Maaya Uchida. While the English voice cast consists of Monica Rial, Josh Grelle and Felicia Angelle.


Bonus Material:
Blu-ray bonus features
Episode 2 video commentary
Episode 8 commentary

Trailers


Summary: If you had a second chance at life, what would you do? I bet you'd do what Touya does!!
