Along with the screening of the film itself, fans will be treated to an extra special feature that includes never-before-seen interviews with the film’s production staff, a tour of the studio J.C. Staff, an art gallery, and a retrospective look at the DanMachi franchise as a whole that includes the first season, Sword Oratoria side series, and Hot Spring OVA special.
Sentai Filmworks officially describes Arrow of the Orion as such, “Far from the dungeon beneath Orario rises a new threat, one the beautiful goddess Artemis has sworn to destroy with the help of her chosen warrior. But this fighter isn’t the renowned Ais Wallenstein or another storied hero of Orario legend. Instead the fate of Artemis’ quest falls upon the shoulders of Bell Cranel, who must partner with the goddess and stand against the menace lurking in the remains of a distant, ancient city. Although Bell is the ordained champion of Artemis and a member of the goddess Hestia’s familia, their adventure will test every skill and take every ounce of courage that Bell has — and perhaps, along the way, turn him into the hero he has always aspired to be.” You can read our spoiler-free review of the film here.
