The winter 2018 anime series Kaiju Girls has its Japanese home video release plans set with Pony Canyon handling that side of the project. The distributor previously set a May 2nd, 2018 release date for it and it’s one that I missed getting the artwork on for before, so we’re correcting that today. The twelve episode short-form series will get a single DVD and Blu-ray release priced at 5,800 and 6,800 yen respectively.
The series was directed by Minoru Aashina while Norimitsu Kaiho is handling the concept and setting for it. With character designs by Nekosuke Ōkuma (Nitroplus), Hiroshi Tani, CHOCO, Jirō Tomioka, Namaniku ATK (Nitroplus), Nekokan Masshigura (Nitroplus), Bakutendo, and minoa (Nitroplus)., Studio Puyukai and Mdicrie handled the animation for it.
The Japanese cast includes Riho Iida as Agira/Aki Miyashita, Aina Suzuki as Miclas/Miku Ushimaru and Yurika Endō as Windom/Reika Shiragane.
Plot concept: Humanity’s battle of many years with the kaiju, giant monsters, has finally come to an end. Now that Earth has entered an age of peace, girls with the souls of kaiju have begun to appear, giving them the ability to transform into kaiju. They are known as the Kaiju Girls, and this is the powerful, transient, beautiful, and at times easygoing story of the strange fate these girls bear.
