One of the more surprising pickups by FUNimation in the last couple of years is Level E, a show that definitely garnered a cult following during its simulcast run as it came from the creator behind Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter (we’re trying not to read too much into that in terms of licensing). The series is getting the compete collection style release on December 4th and even managed to get a DVD/BD combo release. FUNimation has let loose with the first trailer for it today that gives us just over a minute of sampling some of the many dub voices that will show up in the series. Take a listen below and see who you can pick out.
Plot Concept: This extraterrestrial adventure follows the alien genius, Prince Baka (masterfully portrayed by anime legend Vic Mignogna) as he turns life on Earth into his own personal laugh track. The Prince has the biggest brain in the galaxy, and he’s also a sadistic prankster who loves to make humans squirm. Anime fans will fall hard for this nostalgic, ”undeniably clever” series that spoofs the television shows, video games, and superheroes they loved as kids. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll remember that thing you did that was super mean – but also super hilarious. (Don’t worry, you won’t get grounded.) So yeah, Level E. The alien invasion has begun. Prepare to die – laughing.
