Binbogami ga
Set for release on November 19th in DVD/BD combo form for both regular and limited edition packages, FUNimation has let loose with the first trailer for Binbogami Ga!, aka Good Luck Girl. With the dub being a bit raunchy, it’s getting a release on their site first, so you can it here. If and when it gets added to YouTube, we’ll add it below as well, but FUNimation has had some run ins with raunchy-ish trailers in the past that get reported on and removed. The series is set to contain the full 13 episode season run that they previously simulcast and it will come with a pair of English language audio commentaries for $69.98 for the limited edition
Plot Concept: Ichiko gets lucky a lot. She’s rich, beautiful, smart, stacked, and better than you at everything. But there’s a reason life always goes her way: she unwittingly steals happiness energy from everyone else! Momiji – a poverty god with a freakishly huge syringe and a bunch of oddball charms – has to take Ichiko’s extra good fortune and return it to her various victims of circumstance.
Like an Adderall-raddled cat-and-mouse chase in a funhouse full of pop culture references, the spirit of shortcomings and her self-absorbed subject stick each other with jabs, gags, bizarre bets, and dirty tricks aplenty. It’s a side-splitting ride, and everyone’s seatbelt is defective. But how many blows to the ego can Ichiko take before she grows a sympathy gland and stops hogging all the happiness?
