Media Blasters announced today their first anime acquisition of 2013 with news of Juden Chan!. The company intends to release the series this year with more information to come in the next few weeks. All that they were able to announce at the moment was the acquisition and that it would contain all twelve episodes in one release.
Known as Fight Ippatsu! Juden-Chan!! in Japan, the series ran for twelve episodes in the summer of 2009 on AT-X. Directed by Shinichiro Kimura, the series was animated by Studio Hibari and is based on the seinen manga by Bow Ditama which ran in Comic Gum. The manga began back in 2006 and is still ongoing with nine compiled volumes to date.
Plot Concept: From a planet called “Life Core”, which exists parallel to the normal human world, females known as “Jūden-chan” (charger girls) are patrolling the human world in search for individuals who feel depressed and unlucky. Their job is to charge these people up with the help of electricity in order to improve their mental states. While normally unseen by human eyes, one of these Jūden-chan, Plug Cryostat, accidentally meets a young man who is able to see her, because she was targeting his father (his sister in the anime). This series revolves around the various antics between the main characters and the quest for this Jūden-chan to improve herself.
