Sentai Filmworks Licenses "Listen To Me Girls. I am Your Father!"
HOUSTON, January 17, 2012— Sentai Filmworks has announced the licensing of LISTEN TO ME, GIRLS. I AM YOUR FATHER!, the wild new anime series that takes the classic sit-com premise of ‘a bachelor being forced to adopt three young children and discovering a whole new outlook on life’ and turns it completely on its head! Based on the series of novels by Tomohiro Matsu and the subsequent manga series illustrated by Yuka Nakajima, the 12 episode series is directed by Itsuro Kawasaki (LICENSED BY ROYALTY, RENTAL MAGICA, ARC THE LAD,) while series composition is handled by veteran Naruhisa Arakawa (STEEL ANGEL KURUMI, DNANGEL, BLUE SEED) while key animator Takashi Mamezuka (INFINITE STRATOS, EDEN OF THE EAST,) takes up the task of adapting Nakajima's original designs.
Whoever said little girls grow up in the most delightful ways wasn't Yuta Segawa! He wasn't happy when his sister married a man who already had two children. But given that Yuri raised Yuta by herself after their own parents' deaths, what kind of brother would Yuta be if he didn't take in their THREE children when Yuri and her husband Shingo's plane disappears? Of course, the fact that Yuta's only a nineteen year old college student, living in a tiny apartment, and the fact that he's now living with three GIRLS, two of whom aren't related by blood and one of whom is only five years younger than he is, is bound to cause some issues. Especially when the eldest girl, Sora, is harboring a secret crush on him and would be quite happy if Yuta's social life revolved around the 'family,' while middle sister Miu is starting to make noises about ‘older men’ as well. And did we mention that it's a really, REALLY small apartment? Add the girl Yuta actually likes, Raika, as a smoldering fuse and the question isn't IF Yuta's home sweet home is a powderkeg, but rather one of when and how often! Some family ties bind, others may need restraining orders in LISTEN TO ME, GIRLS. I AM YOUR FATHER!
LISTEN TO ME, GIRLS. I AM YOUR FATHER! will be available digitally through multiple outlets, with a home video release on subtitled DVD scheduled for later this year.
