Sentai Filmworks continues to delve into unexpected titles from time to time and the latest pickup is that of Guardian Ninja Mamoru, which is known as Kage Kara Mamoru! in its original Japanese release. The series comes from the light novels of the same name from Achi Taro and was animated for the winter 2006 anime season by Group TAC with Yoshitaka Fujimoto directing. With the timing of the announcement, it’s easy to expect that this will be a summer 2015 release on home video.
Guardian Ninja Mamoru will be available soon through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow.
Plot concept: Looks can often be deceiving, and the phrase has never rang more true than with the case of Kagemori Mamoru. Behind the frail, hapless and definitely nerdy Kagemori’s thick glasses and unkempt hair lies a master in the ways of the ninja, he secretly watches over and is in service to his “neighbors”, the Konnyaku family, who have been under his family’s protection for the past 400 years! Yuuna, the young daughter of the Konnyaku family is Mamoru’s responsibility and has been since they were both in kindergarten. Luckily for Yuuna, whenever she finds herself in trouble, her secret savior is never too far away! The adventures never end as Mamoru goes from nerdy to ninja in Guardian Ninja Mamoru!
