'The Island of Giant Insects' Reveals Sexy Visual Image of Blu-ray Package

JAPANESE PANIC HORROR ANIME "The Island of Giant Insects" a.k.a. "KYOCHU RETTO” TEAM REVEALS SEXY VISUAL IMAGE of BLU-RAY PACKAGE of KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN REWARD for its “ENGLISH DUBBED FINAL EDITION”!

[Tokyo, Japan, February 20, 2020] -Japanese Panic Horror Anime Kyochū Rettō's team launched Kickstarter campaign for its “English Dubbed Final Edition” with various great rewards on February 14th. Even though it's just been few days of campaign launch, this project raised over US $10,000. And now we are happy to reveal the sexy visual image of Blu-ray Package which is the reward for Rank 4 and above! Both Mutsumi and Chitose shyly cups their breasts with their hands. Don't miss this opportunity to gain this special Blu-ray!

Overview

Kyochū Rettō - originally a Japanese online comic series featured on “Manga Cross” (operated by Akita Shoten), it boasts over 1.1 million domestic monthly views, grabbing the nation's eyes and hearts with its horror and action-packed content. June 2019 the production team released its first anime Blu-ray bundled with the comic books, and recently in January 2020, the movie made its theatre debut in Japan. Outside of Asian countries, the anime movie can be viewed on Crunchyroll.

The story starts off with a school trip plane crash, causing a group of students to be cast ashore on an island infested with gigantic insects. While all morals and values are lost in the devastating jungle, the story takes the students through a horrific fight for survival filled with violence, sex, and gore. This unique and unusual plot setting for a Japanese anime is beginning to capture the attention of anime fans worldwide – and now a Kickstarter campaign has been launched to produce an English dubbed version, and aim for global recognition.

Kickstarter Unique Rewards Lineup

The go-to reward is of course the 5.1 surround-sound Blu-ray with deluxe packaging, allowing you to be one of the first ones in the world to get your hands on one. (Not available in Japan) This reward also includes other limited and exclusive promotional goods and anime production related items such as keyframes and settings materials.
We also see an interesting line-up of rewards that will actually allow you to be part of the movie. “Your screams in the movie” will allow your recorded screaming voice to be put in the movie (obviously of a death scene), and for “You will be a character in the movie”, the production team will actually look at your photo and create an original extra character based on your physical features. All of these are limited rewards, so hurry!. (Participants will be directed to follow certain guidelines.)
