After confirming last month that they do have the OAD episode for Upotte!!, we’re now getting a minor change when it comes to the release for this series. New cover art has surfaced for the show that’s due out on March 18th, 2014. We’ve got a look at the new artwork below for the front covers for both formats and the disc silkscreening as well as a look at the back cover. Of note, we now know that Leraldo Anzaldua will be handling the ADR duties for this release. This marks Anzaldua’s second time in the directors chair after helming the recent Nyan Koi!, for which he also did the script adaptation. He also did the script adaptation for BTOOOM!. He’s known more for his work as a voice actor over the last several years in doing numerous series originally for ADV Films and then SEntai Filmworks, notable for his lead role of Ken in Gatchaman.
Plot concept: Kiss kiss, bang bang! The arms race takes on a startling new development when the arms come with heads, legs and very feminine bodies attached! Yes, at Seishou Academy every girl is literally a lethal weapon, and they’re all gunning for the top shot at getting their own personal serviceman! Needless to say, it’s going to be difficult for newly recruited human instructor Genkoku to adjust to working with a living arsenal of high caliber cuties with tricky names like FNC (Funko,) M 16A4 (Ichiroku,) L85A1 (Eru,) and SG 550 (Shigu,). Especially since many have hair triggers and there’s no bulletproof vest that can stop a really determined co-ed! He’ll have to rewrite the operator’s manual on student/teacher relationships, and pray that his job description won’t include having to field strip and reassemble one of his cadets in the dark. But unfortunately (for him,) FNC’s already thinking about becoming HIS personal weapon, and she usually gets what she aims for! Get ready for explosive situations, amour piercing rounds, cheap shots galore and one VERY shell-shocked homeroom instructor in UPOTTE!
