Sentai Filmworks Rescues License for Di Gi Charat Television Anime Series

-

You may or may not remember the company, but in 2005 the anime publisher Synch-Point released the Digi Charat TV anime series to North America alongside a couple of other titles in the franchise including Leave it to Piyoko! (Which unfortunately this announcement has yet to cover).

While the series has long been out of print, it was announced by Sentai Filmworks during their Anime Boston panel last year that they have rescued the license and intend on re-releasing not only the 16-episode series but also the three OVA episodes and the Winter Garden special which has never been released internationally.

The original television series is set for release in October 2013 while there is no word on the other installments, or if it will be a combined release.

Di Gi Charat is a series of shorts created as advertisements for “Digital Gamers”, a store in Akihabara. The series follows Dejiko, princess of Di Gi Charat planet, and her companions, Puchiko and Gema, as well as Dejiko’s rival, Rabi~en~Rose through daily ordeals they encounter while working at Gamers. Princess Di Gi Charat came from the planet Di Gi Charat given only a cat cap and an outfit to disguise herself. Unfortunately she came with no money, only her guardian Gema and friend Petite Charat. Luckily the three stumbled upon a manager of the store Gamers, who offered them a home if they worked at the store. However Di Gi Charat is a selfish young girl who wishes of becoming a star.
