Sentai Filmworks announced a couple new licenses today, with Gingitsune and Devils and Realist joining its lineup of titles. Both series will be available through select digital outlets, with home video releases to follow.
Gingitsune features direction by Shin Misawa (Initial D), with Hiroshi Yamaguchi (Desert Punk, Nobunagun) on series composition for the Diomedea (KanColle, Campione!) production.
Synopsis:
Although Makoto Saeki’s life is quiet, it’s anything but ordinary! As the 15th successor to the Saeki Shrine, Makoto is gifted with the ability to see spirits of all sorts. But there’s one spirit in particular who has been at Makoto’s side since childhood— Gintaro, the huge silver fox who’s occupied her family’s shrine for over 350 years! With a love for oranges and a gruff demeanor, Gintaro serves as both messenger of the gods and guardian of the Saeki family shrine. When Gintaro’s not lazing about or napping, he’s reluctantly helping Makoto tell the fortunes of classmates and providing wisdom as necessary. But with other spirits in the area who need just as much, if not more, help than their human counterparts, Makoto and Gintaro always have their hands full helping out those in need!
Devils and Realist is based on the manga written by Madoka Takadono and illustrated by Utako Yukihiro. The series is directed by Chiaki Kon (Nodame Cantabile), with Michiko Yokote (Princess Tutu, xxxHolic) on series composition for the Doga Kobo (Love Lab) production.
Synopsis:
William Twining leads the perfect life of an aristocratic noble: he’s handsome, wealthy, intelligent, and takes great pride in his family’s lineage, all while dreaming of his future in high society. After his wealthy uncle goes bankrupt from bad investments, William worries about losing his good name. When he’s told his tuition has yet to be paid at the prestigious Stradford School, he quickly rushes to his estate - only to find that the debt collectors have taken everything and his uncle is missing. Struggling to find a way to pay for school, William stumbles upon a mysterious room where he accidentally summons Dantalion, Grand Duke of the 36 Armies of Hell. Being a hard-line realist with a love for science, William does not believe in demons and takes Dantalion as a con artist. But the truth of the matter is: as a descendant of Solomon, and the “Elector,” William is the person that must select a substitute ruler to take Lucifer’s throne. His fate will forever change as he is now entwined and inseparable from the underworld which he must manage and nominate an infernal substitute king.
