Press release below:

Santa Ana, CA (July 28, 2012) – NIS America is thrilled to announce that famed psychological thriller anime series Umineko WHEN THEY CRY will be available on Blu-ray this December. Taking a unique approach to the release, NIS America will make both volumes available simultaneously, each with its own collectible slipcase and deluxe hardcover art book. Umineko WHEN THEY CRY will challenge viewers to consider what is real and what is illusion as they try to solve the mystery of the island massacre. Preorders will be available at select online retailers soon: Right Stuf, The Anime Corner Store, Anime Pavilion, and the NISA Online Store.

About the show:

The affluent Ushiromiya family patriarch, Kinzo, is on his deathbed, and his family has assembled at their private island to discuss the division of his estate. As they bicker over their father’s immense inheritance, a typhoon closes in, trapping them on the island. They suddenly receive an eerie word of warning...and then, in the dead of night, the murders begin. One by one, family members are discovered murdered in bizarre and inhuman ways. Some within the family turn to superstition, blaming it on a witch rumored to inhabit the island. But one of them—the young Battler Ushiromiya—refuses to accept the supernatural and vows to uncover the real killer behind the seemingly impossible slaughters. He soon finds himself confronted by the apparent witch, and enters into a life-or-death battle for the truth.
