FUNimation ‘New Show A-Go-Go’ acquisition: Gad Guard
I’ve been a bit lax the last few days – I took the day off work yesterday, and made a vow to stay away from computers entirely (which I acutally managed to do, as long as you don’t consider an Xbox 360 to be a computer…) – so, no posting from me.
In the interim, I also neglected to mention FUNimation’s New Show A-Go-Go promotion…the publisher is currently on the second day of a ten-day marathon acquisition annoucement spree. Today’s release is Gad Guard, a pretty sweet big robot anime froma few years back. Full press release follows:
FUNimation Entertainment Acquires Gad Guard from GDH
Flower Mound, TX – December 23, 2008 – FUNimation® Entertainment today announced that it has acquired broadcast, digital, mobile, merchandise and home entertainment rights to the 26-episode mech action-adventure anime series Gad Guard from GDH.
Gad Guard was directed by Hiroshi Nishikiori (Jyu Oh Sei) and produced by Studio Gonzo (Afro Samurai, Witchblade, Samurai 7). The animation director was Masahiro Aizawa (Hell Girl)
About Gad Guard
Many people have searched for it, many have stolen it, and many will kill for it. The Gad is a seemingly magical stone that, once making a strong spiritual connection with someone, will grow into a very powerful robot known as a Techode: a mechanical being that embodies the will of the bonded person.
This is the story of Hajiki Sanada, a boy struggling to help support his fatherless family in an electricity-impoverished city known as Night Town. One day he encounters a Gad. Now his life will never be the same…
FUNimation Entertainment will release the series on DVD in 2009.
