Bandai will then release Eureka SeveN on DVD on April 25th. It will be available as either a stand alone version or in a special edition collector’s box set that also includes the first volume of the manga adaptation with an exclusive cover, a T-shirt and the series soundtrack. A stand alone edition of the manga will be released the same day, with the stand alone soundtrack to follow at a later date.
