Sentai Filmworks Adds Dai - Shogun - Great Revolution

posted on by Karen Ressler
Historical mecha series streamed on Crunchyroll in spring

North American anime distributor Sentai Filmworks announced on Wednesday that it has licensed the anime Dai - Shogun - Great Revolution. The company plans to release the series digitally and on home video.

Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired starting in April.

Sentai Filmworks describes the story:

In the land of the rising sun the horizon is darkened by a fleet of black ships from foreign soil . Just when it seems that all hope is lost ancient mecha of unknown origins appear, pushing back the black ships and forever altering the course of history. Thus, the timeline splits and a new Japan is born, one free of modernization and foreign influence. In this country secluded from the world, an energetic young man known as Keiichiro Tokugawa faces off with his greatest enemy- boredom. Keiichiro yearns to leave behind his life at the family bathhouse and prove himself as a real man once and for all. But can a virgin who breaks out in hives at the faintest touch of a woman really become a hero for his nation? Especially when he's surrounded by beautiful women at every turn, from his family's striking shinobi servant, Kiriko, to the feisty fugitive half-fox, Chiharu. Keiichiro's dream of a life of action and adventure is about to be fulfilled- in a very big way!

ILCA's Kazuya Sasahara (Cat Shit One: The Animated Series) planned the project, and Takashi Watanabe (Shakugan no Shana, Slayers) directed it at J.C. Staff and A.C.G.T.

Project-D is credited with the original story, and Dai Sato (Eureka Seven, Freedom, episodes of Cowboy Bebop) was in charge of the series scripts. Hiroya Iijima adapted Shunya Yamashita's original character designs for animation. Makoto Ishiwata of Nitroplus handled mecha designs.
