The anime, which spoofs the life and culture of otaku as well as the history of Studio GAINAX and its creators, will be released October 8.
Anime distributor AnimEigo has announced the October 8 Blu-ray home entertainment release of Otaku No Video.
Director Takeshi Mori (Gunsmith Cats) and the anime madmen of Studio GAINAX (Neon Genesis Evangelion) gather with their friends for the most explosive club meeting ever! Bolstered by Kenichi Sonoda's (Bubblegum Crisis) charming character designs and Kohei Tanaka's (Gunbuster) rousing soundtrack, Otaku no Video bursts onto Blu-ray in 1080p high definition, featuring the original Japanese language with English subtitles.
In Otaku No Video, the year is 1982, one year into the glorious New Anime Century. Unfortunately, college freshman Ken Kubo has yet to bask in the brilliant light of this prosperous era. Instead, he's either hitting tennis balls or playing hanky-panky with his high school sweetheart. But a chance encounter with an old friend unlocks his true anime nerd potential, turning his aim away from the ace and toward the top! With a loyal circle of new allies at his side, Kubo may just become the greatest nerd known to man – the Otaking. Meanwhile, an intrepid crew of documentarians use their filmic brushes to paint a vivid portrait of the anime obsessed.

- Liner notes
