Sentai Filmworks Announces Acquisition of Gatchaman Crowds Anime Series

-

After attempting to build up much anticipating over the last couple of days for their new anime acquisition, Sentai Filmworks have confirmed that it was for the anime series Gatchaman Crowds. This 12 episode series derived from the classic Gatchaman TV series originally produced by Tatsunoko Production is directed by Kenji Nakamura (tsuritama), features character designs by Kinako, G-Suit designs by Kenji Andou and Koji Nakakita, who also does mechanical designs, and series composition by Toshiya Ono.

Gatchaman Crowds will be available for viewing shortly via selected digital outlets with a home video release to follow in 2014. As the series has already been airing in Japan this season, it is unknown if they will do a catch-up and do a simulcast for the remaining episodes or take another route with their digital distribution.

For most of the residents of Tachikawa city, life seems to be perfectly normal.  That’s how it seems, but the truth, known only by a tiny select handful, is that this is a city at war.  Every day, as the citizens go about their business, they are under attack by alien criminals and mysterious monsters seeking to conquer, enslave and destroy.  But to combat these threats, a covert council has secretly selected certain individuals to serve as protectors.  Wearing special suits that amplify latent powers hitherto unsuspected, they blend into the crowds and shadows, waiting until the call is given to fight again. 

They could be anyone:  your neighbor; your best friend’s mom; even high school students like Sugane Tachibana and recent college grad Joe Hibiki.  And needless to say, schoolgirl artist Hajime Ichinose is probably the last person anyone would ever suspect of being a soldier entrusted with defending mankind.  But she is, even if as the latest recruit she still has an awful lot of learning to do.  Hiding like ninjas, powered by super-science, they are humanity’s first and greatest line of defense.  They are the GATCHAMAN!
