Binbogami ga
The first blush look at what may be the box art for Good Luck Girl!, aka Binbogami ga!, has surfaced via Right Stuf today. The series, which FUNimation simulcast, is set for release on November 19th in both limited edition and regular edition forms. The releases are priced at $69.98 and $64.98 respectively. The box art for the show is definitely a lot more reminiscent of the original work itself and some of the early Japanese promotional material, but it doesn’t click with what the show itself looks like, which is throwing off a few fans.
Extras for the release at this time include two audio commentaries.
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?
