Aniplex of America and DeVuono Releasing are bringing Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl to Canadian cinemas this month. The project is the first episode of a new series by Yasuomi Umetsu, who had previously created titles like Kite and Mezzo Forte. It had its debut across Japanese theatres in June.
Umetsu directed the episode at Shaft from a script by Yūya Takahashi. Yoshiaki Dewa composed the score. Screenings will also include an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette.
Conditions for Receiving Bounty: Bring the brain of a wanted criminal possessing illegal Somadea to the authorities. Whether the target is alive or dead… is irrelevant.
The year 2099. Humanity has overcome all injury and illness with the development of Medical Android Technology “Somadea.” Somadea grants superior physical, but by illegally modifying it, Somadea can be misused for criminal purposes.
To handle these crimes, the government established the Bounty Hunter System. Registered civilians can kill wanted criminals and are rewarded with large bounties.
In this unforgiving world, Ubu Kamigori hunts criminals as a bounty hunter. But one day, waiting in her home is the man she shares a sordid history with—Mr. Elegance. And so, her destiny begins to unravel.
A tale woven by mechanical girls and gunpowder smoke, this suspenseful action begins.
The film will run in select theatres from November 11th. It will be screened in Japanese with English subtitles and with an English dub. To purchase tickets for the subtitled screenings, click here. To purchase tickets for the dubbed screenings, click here.
