Sentai Filmworks Snaps Up “Senryu Girl”

HOUSTON, TX, March 30, 2019 — Sentai Filmworks announced today that it acquired exclusive rights to Senryu Girl , an anime series adapted from the award-winning slice-of-life comedy manga Senryū Shōjo by Masakuni Igarashi. Sentai will make the series available through a global license arrangement excluding Asia.

At first glance Yukishiro Nanako seems like a normal high school girl, but she has a notable eccentricity: instead of speaking, she communicates only through written senryu poetry! This means she expresses herself only in 5-7-5 syllables. To most this might seem like an inconvenience, but for Nanako and her ex-delinquent bestie, Busujima Eiji, it adds to the experience of their high school lives as they run the Literature Club.

Studio Connect ( Armed Girl’s Machiavellism ) produces the series with character designs by Maki Hashimoto ( Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? , No Game, No Life ) and direction and series composition from Masato Jinbo ( Hayate the Combat Butler , Psychic Squad ). The show stars Kana Hanazawa ( Akama ga Kill! , Cutie Honey Universe ) as Nanako Yukishiro and Tasuku Hatanaka ( Ushio & Tora , My Hero Academia ) as Eiji Busujima.

The series will soon be available for the Spring 2019 simulcast season to stream on select digital outlets with a home video release to follow.

“Battle Programmer Shirase” Acquired by Maiden Japan

HOUSTON, TX, April 8, 2019 – Maiden Japan has announced the acquisition of Battle Programmer Shirase, a science-fiction comedy by anime studio AIC (Black Magic M-66, Tenchi Muyo!), director Hiroki Hayashi (Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, Tenchi Muyo!) and art director Maho Takahashi (GATE, Hetalia World Series).

Akira’s gifted programming and hacking skills have made him a legend on the darker portions of the internet, but in the real world, he’s not as impressive. In fact, he’s basically a freeloader who depends on the kindness of his teenage great-niece, Misao, to get by. And by get by, we mean that she owns the apartment he lives in and frequently comes over to cook for him! But instead of selling his considerable computer skills for piles of cash to repay Misao with, Akira is happy to do his web-fu in exchange for gadgets and other otaku paraphernalia. However, when the internet begins to be disrupted by a nefarious web presence who goes by the name King Of America, Akira may be the only one who can save the day!

A stand-alone series set in the universe of Magical Girl Pretty Sammy, Battle Programmer Shirase, also known as simply BPS, stars Kazuya Nakai (Asura Cryin’, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations) as Akira Shirase, Misato Fukuen (Hataraki Man, To Love-Ru) as Misao Amano, Fumiko Orikasa (Bleach, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion) as Yoriko Yunoki and Yūko Nagashima (Magic Knight Rayearth, s-CRY-ed) as Sae Motoki.
