Big things come in small packages, but no one expected anything quite like Momo in Sentai Filmworks` latest acquisition, MOMOKYUN SWORD (????????, Momo Kyun Soodo, 2014). This comedy adventure series is directed by Shinsuke Yanagi (A CERTAIN SCIENTIFIC RAILGUN, RO-KYU-BU! SS) with series composition by Tsuyoshi Tamai (LADIES VS. BUTLERS!, STRIKE WITCHES), art direction by Chikako Shibata (AZUMANGA DAIOH, KINMOZA!) and animation production by Project No. 9 (RO-KYU-BU!) and Tri-Slash (YOWAMUSHI PEDAL). It was written in the stars the day Momoko came down the river, floating inside a giant peach found by an old childless couple. Although her fate might not yet be known to her, she was brought to this village to defend it. Now that she is all grown up, Momoko is prepared to fight. And while she might not be the sharpest sword in the sheath... what she lacks in smarts, she makes up for with her unwavering determination! Evil lurks in the distance as an army of ogres are planning to invade. Along with her talking pet dog, monkey, and peasant -- who just happen to also be gods -- Momoko must protect and recover the Michimi Peach Fragments that are scattered all over Japan before its pieces fall into the wrong hands. Fragments of a holy peach of incredible powers, these powers could be harnessed and used for evil -- and exactly why the army of ogres are coming to invade. Luckily for our she-ro, Momoko has teamed up with a bevy of beauties that call themselves the Celestial Maiden Squad. Maron, Suika, Ringo, and Karin, too, have a bone to pick with the menacing monsters. Together, the girls join forces as loli-warriors in order to stop the pillaging. Will they have what it takes? And will Momoko get the “on the job” training she needs, or fail in the process? Either way... prepare for a battle like no other as beautiful babes must battle in a Feudal Japan fantasy world in MOMOKYUN SWORD! MOMOKYUN SWORD will be available soon through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow.
