Anime Limited has announced that you'll soon be able to bring home your very own record of Inu-oh, the Golden Globe and Annie Award-nominated 14th century rock opera from anime auteur Masaaki Yuasa (Mind Game, Devilman: Crybaby).
Inu-oh is born with unique physical characteristics, and the horrified adults cover every inch of his body with garments, including a mask on his face. One day, he meets a boy named Tomona, a blind biwa player, and as Tomona plays a delicate song of tangled fate, Inu-oh discovers an incredible ability to dance. Inu-oh and Tomona become business partners and inseparable friends, using their creative gifts to survive on the margins of society, as song after song gain them notoriety and propel them to stardom. Through the songs, Inu-oh mesmerises his audiences on stage, and gradually begins to transform into someone of unequalled beauty. But why is Tomona blind? Why was Inu-oh born with unique characteristics?
Inu-oh will be released on Blu-ray, DVD, and AllTheAnime.com exclusive Collector's Edition on 7 August 2023. The release will include the film in Japanese with English subtitles, and an English language dub.
