'Love, Election & Chocolate: Complete Collection' Blu-ray Announced[teaser]The anime series based on Sprite's interactive visual novel will be getting the Blu-ray treatment in February. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Sentai Filmworks is working on 'Love, Election & Chocolate: Complete Collection' for Blu-ray on February 25. In Japan, participation in extra-curricular activities is as fundamental a part of an education as chalk and gym shorts. However, not all students are overachievers, and for those like Yuki Ojima, groups like the Food Research Club are welcome havens in which to slack off. But what's a slacker to do when the radical new candidate for Student Council president announces her intent to get rid of clubs like the FRC? Getting the help of the current Student Council president is a good start, but his suggestion is so counter-intuitive that it's crazy: Yuki's going to run for the Student Council himself! And yet, it's SO crazy that it just might work. Especially when Chisato, the chocolate-adverse president of the FRC -- not to mention Yuki's best childhood friend -- and members of other targeted school clubs start to join the swelling FRC army. But can this army of goofs and goof-offs coast all the way to political victory? Or will someone have to step up to the plate and take one for the term? The Blu-ray will present episodes 1-12 (plus the OVA) in 1080p video with lossless Japanese soundtracks (English subtitles included), and supplements include clean opening and closing animations. Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $59.98.
