Vertex Force lines up a four-volume Blu-ray run

Vertex Force is coming home. Aniplex and the anime's own site confirmed on 3 October 2026 that the original mecha series is getting a four-volume Blu-ray and DVD release, and the first set lands on 23 December 2026.

What arrives first, and what it costs

Volume one is the Blu-ray Rudi Sleepover Special Box, dated for Wednesday 23 December 2026. Aniplex lists the Blu-ray complete limited edition at 15,400 yen including tax and the DVD complete limited edition at 14,300 yen. There is no word yet on a Western release, so anyone outside Japan is looking at an import for now rather than a localised set.

What is inside the box

Each volume pairs the main disc with a bonus CD. Volume one adds jacket art newly drawn by series director Kazuhiro Takamura, an ASMR CD built around Haruka Todo, creditless opening and ending videos, a collection of promotional videos and adverts, a special booklet and a director-drawn blanket measuring 100cm by 70cm. The official page notes that specifications and extras can still change before release.

A soundtrack ride alongside it

The music is arriving ahead of the discs. Aniplex opened streaming for the first Vertex Force original soundtrack volume on 4 October 2026, a day after the broadcast debut, so the score is available long before anyone can put the box on a shelf.

Our opinion

Four volumes for a show that has aired a single episode is a confident bet on an original anime with no manga or light novel cushion behind it, and it reads as a studio telling fans the story is already mapped out. The extras are the telling part: a director-drawn blanket and an ASMR disc are fan-service engineering rather than filler, which is exactly what sells premium sets in Japan. The gap that matters is territorial. Japan gets a collectors' run in December while everyone else waits on an announcement that may never come, so the honest headline for overseas fans is not "it is out" but "you can import it".
