Fuun Ishin Dai Shogun
Details on the spring anime series Fuun Ishin Dai Shogun have been minimal overall since it was announced at the end of last year. We had that basic announcement and then got some staff and casting information for it along with the premiere date. Now, Kadokawa has stepped up with a new thirty second preview of the show. The series, which has the really great literal translation of Stormcloud Restoration Big General, is set for an April 9th, 2014 debut. The property is an original work based on the story by Kazuya Sasakura that will be handled by JC Staff & ACGT with Takashi Watanabe directing. It’s bringing together giant robots and samurai with a good bit of romance as well by all appearances.

Plot concept: In the late Edo period, Japan had experienced an unprecedented crisis by Kurofune (Black Ships), the ships from foreign countries. But a giant robot called Onigami, which has existed since ancient time, dispelled the Kurofune ships and the exclusion of foreigners was accomplished. The story begins in Japan where Meiji restoration in 1868 didn’t happen.
