Sentai Filmworks has a dub in the works for the My Girlfriend is Shobitch series that’s got a February 12th, 2019 debut on home video. We do expect it to crop up streaming before that and I’m sure the reveal of the dub cast below, with Kyle Jones directing, is only going to accelerate that combined with the first promo trailer out for it. Extras for the release includes the Japanese Preview & Promos, Fat Load of Dirty Jokes Character Commentary Theater, Clean Opening Animation, and the Clean Closing Animation.
The show is being directed by Nobuyoshi Nagayama based on the series composition from Hideki Shirane. Sachiko Yasuda is handling the character designs with animation produced by Diomedea.

Plot Concept: When Haruka asks his classmate Akiho to go out with him, he’s hoping that she’ll say ‘yes’. What he isn’t expecting is for her to agree, then approach their relationship with an emotionally detached attitude as if she was writing a research paper with sex as the topic! It’s all about maximizing compatibility, Akiho says, but when preparation for a first date requires Haruka to divulge a comprehensive list of his sexual fetishes in advance for planning purposes, perhaps there’s something to be said for getting to know each other the old-fashioned way! And if Akiho’s clinical approach isn’t awkward enough, things get really weird when it’s time to meet the parents and Haruka learns where Akiho’s odd demeanor comes from! It’s the romantic comedy where T.M.I. and A-Type personalities collide in MY GIRLFRIEND IS SHOBITCH!
