Ah My Buddha!
Previously licensed, dubbed and released by Media Blasters, Lucky Penny Entertainment has picked up a new license rescue with the series Ah My Buddha. The show was originally broadcast in Japan in 2005 and 2006 and was released by Media Blasters in 2009 before going for a full collection in 2010, which is the last it was out. The series came from them at a time when they were producing fewer dubs but this one managed to get one, to good effect at that. Named Amaenaide yo!! in Japan, Lucky Penny will be bringing it out later this year in a complete twenty-six episode collection with a planned summer release.
The series features animation by Studio DEEN (Fate/Stay night, Is This a Zombie?) and direction by Keitaro Motonaga (Jormungand, Yumeria).”
Plot concept: Ikkou is your everyday teenage boy with everyday teenage desires. Too bad he’s training to be a priest in a Buddhist temple full of incredibly gorgeous and obviously available priestesses. The temple is usually called on to perform exorcisms, and Ikkou’s inner power is on hand for whenever things get out of control. A little flash of skin (usually a lot) from his female colleagues is enough to supercharge him, but the aftermath involves dealing with an extra turned-on priest whose loins were blazing to begin with. It’s enough to make anyone cry out for Buddha to save them.
