Sentai Filmworks has brought another series to the Amazon Prime service with the Amagi Brilliant Park property. The anime series is available in its original Japanese language with English subtitles form where you can watch for free with Prime. You can also own the episodes for $2.99 each while the full season is $40.99.
The anime adaptation comes from Kyoto Animation as it deals with the light novel by Shoji Gatoh. Yasuhiro Takemoto is directing the series, which marks a pretty good return in a way since he previously directed two Full Metal Panic series and recently worked on shows like Hyouka for Kyoto Animation.
The Japanese cast includes Kouki Uchiyama as Seiya Kanie, Ai Kakuma as Isuzu Sento, Yukiyo Fujii as Latifah Fullanza, Shiori Mikami as Kobori, Ryoko Shiraishi as Macaron, Tomoyo Kurosawa as Sylphy, Ayako Kawasumi as Moffle, Yuka Aisaka as Muse, Minami Tsuda as Salama and Ai Nonaka as Tirami.

Plot concept: When new transfer student Isuzu asks Seiya Kanie out on a date at gunpoint, he knows something odd is going on. Especially since she wants to go to Amagi Brilliant Park, where the rides are either dangerous or mind-numbingly dull and the only costumed performers who aren’t rude or apathetic are the ones who didn’t show up for work. So when Isuzu asks Seiya to take over as the park’s new manager, he knows she’s crazy. (Well, crazy-er, given the gunpoint thing.) But when Seiya learns that Amagi Brilliant Park is a REAL Magic Kingdom, that the costumed performers aren’t wearing costumes, that they live off the energy created by attendees, and that unless they can attract 250,000 attendees in three months, they’ll lose their jobs and homes… he goes a little crazy himself. But, even with the aid of scantily clad fairies, giant mice and sniper-trained sheep, can anyone rescue a park that’s sunk so low that its own bus doesn’t stop there anymore? The race is on to get the turnstiles turning and save AMAGI BRILLIANT PARK!
