Love has
never been so destructive (literally)! It has been officially confirmed that
the Kaiju Girl Caramelise (Otome Kaiju Caramelize)
manga will have an anime adaptation that will hit television in 2026.
The announcement was accompanied by a promotional video that shows us the
peculiar life of Kuroe Akaishi, a girl who combines the clumsiness
of a shojo protagonist with the ferocity of a giant monster.
The trailer
highlights not only Kuroe's endearing personality, but also stunning CG
sequences of his transformation into the Kaiju Halgon, promising a
unique blend of school romance and tokusatsu action.
The
LIDENFILMS studio
is in charge of the animation, under the direction of Teruyuki Omine (episode
director on Attack on Titan The Final Season and Spy×Family).
The composition of the series falls to Yuniko Ayana (BanG
Dream!), while Mitomi Nakayama is in charge of character
design. The series is being produced by GOOD SMILE FILM.
