We’re just over a month away from the August 22nd, 2015 theatrical premiere of the Date-A-Live: Mayuri Judgement feature anime film. And that means it’s time for Kadokawa to bring out a big promotional trailer for it that clocks in at just over two minutes. This one hits up some beautiful animation as it sets the stage for what’s to come. They’ve also brought out a key highlights piece to use as a TV spot that you can see below as well. The film is directed by Keitaro Motonaga based on the screenplay by Hideki Shirane. Animated at Production IMS, Koji Watanabe serves as the chief animation director while Satoshi Ishino and Koji Watanabe are on board for character designs. The project is based on the original works by Koushi Tachibana and Tsuanko.
FUNimation announced their acquisition of the second season of the series earlier this spring and they’ve previously licensed and released the first season. You can read our review here. They simulcast the second season as well this past spring.
Original property concept: In a world devastated by mysterious Spatial Quakes, Shidoh isn’t what you’d expect in a hero. He’s an average Joe who gets bossed around by his adorable little sister and mocked by the popular girls at his school. You’d definitely pick him last for dodge ball, but when it comes to saving the planet from imminent destruction, Shidoh’s got one thing going for him: intergalactic hotties can’t keep their hands off him!
When the secret to stopping the Spatial Quakes turns out to be romancing the extraterrestrial Spirits responsible for all the chaos, Shidoh the loveable loser becomes the hero of all humanity. For every Spirit he makes out with, mankind breathes a little bit easier. Kiss the girls – save the world. That name of the game is driving the space babes crazy, and nobody does it better than Shidoh!
