GeeXProductions Projects
" Bâan -大人の彊界- " , created by Gigguk, is set in the fictional world of Euthania, which is connected to Japan via a warp gate. The story follows two protagonists who leave their birthplaces in search of a place where they truly belong. The short anime is directed by Yoshimitsu Ohashi, known for directing CODE GEASS Rozé of the Recapture, with music composed by Kevin Penkin, acclaimed for his work on Made in Abyss, and animation by Studio Daisy. The anime will premiere in Japan on August 24, and will later be released on Gigguk's YouTube channel along with a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the anime.
“Soul Mart”, created by DillonGoo Studios, begins at a convenience store in the not-so-distant future. Strange products have been appearing on the shelves, and notorious graffiti artist Kieru Kamiya finds himself hooked on an energy drink that will kill him if he falls asleep. He's forced to enlist the help of Sarina, the convenience store's timid yet demon-obsessed cashier, and an unemployed demon named Reyk to uncover the truth behind these mysterious and deadly products... before his next sleep becomes permanent.
“Otachan! Rabbit Season”, created by StudioOtakuVersus, is a fast-paced, genre-blending anime following the chaotic exploits of its titular protagonist, Otachan. Joined by her mysterious camerawoman, Cam, and a very reluctant convenience store worker, Kon, the girls find themselves working at a shady Bunny Girl bar when a deadly encounter with a Yakuza member goes sideways and they’re thrown into a violent underworld of mad scientists, fight clubs and cold-blooded killers with just 24 hours to survive. Influenced by the anime of the late '80s and early 2000s, Otachan! Rabbit Season is part of Studio OtakuVersus’s mission to revive the lost art of gritty, high-quality OVAs.
Exclusive merch from the projects and other GeeXPlus talent is available for purchase at AX booth WH-634 or via online preorder.
