The life of a shrine keeper is never easy, but for Makoto Saeki and her spirit friend Gintaro, problems are never far away in Sentai Filmworks` latest acquisition, GINGITSUNE (?????, 2013). This supernatural slice of life series is directed by Shin Misawa (CAPETA, INITIAL D) with series composition by Hiroshi Yamaguchi (DESERT PUNK, NOBUNAGUN), music by Tatsuya Katou (CELESTIAL METHOD, MEDAKA BOX), and animation production by Diomedea (CAMPIONE!, KANTAI COLLECTIONn -KANCOLLE-). Although Makoto Saeki’s life is quiet, it’s anything but ordinary! As the 15th successor to the Saeki Shrine, Makoto is gifted with the ability to see spirits of all sorts. But there’s one spirit in particular who has been at Makoto’s side since childhood -- Gintaro, the huge silver fox who’s occupied her family’s shrine for over 350 years! With a love for oranges and a gruff demeanor, Gintaro serves as both messenger of the gods and guardian of the Saeki family shrine. When Gintaro’s not lazing about or napping, he’s reluctantly helping Makoto tell the fortunes of classmates and providing wisdom as necessary. But with other spirits in the area who need just as much, if not more, help than their human counterparts, Makoto and Gintaro always have their hands full helping out those in need! GINGITSUNE will be available soon through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow.
