If you
thought that the millionaire and spoiled girls of the anime had already shown
everything, get ready to watch on a completely absurd scale. The production
company DMM Pictures released the first trailer with English subtitles for the
animated adaptation of Giant Ojosama (Giant Ojo-sama),
confirming that this chaotic comedy will premiere on television in January
2027.
The story
follows Oriko Fujido, a young heiress with so much money that she received an
entire city as a gift when she turned just four years old. The tranquility of
the place is blown up when a giant invader attacks the area. In a desperate
attempt to defend her property, her loyal butler, Dr. Sebastian, offers her a
special drink that transforms her into a giant to fight hand-to-hand against
the threat. The real problem is that, between so much stomping and clumsiness, Oriko
herself could end up destroying her beloved city before the enemy does,
unleashing real chaos for all the inhabitants.
