Bucchigiri?! is an original and for-TV anime which takes the Japanese school delinquent, something between a Western school bully and a drop-out, and merges in the classic Middle Eastern story of One Thousand and One Nights.
Produced by MAPPA and directed by Hiroko Utsumi, the show is slated to hit the airwaves in January next year.
Utsumi penned the script, while Takahiro Kagami is the character designer and one of the key animators.
Make of this what you will, but Utsumi and MAPPA have worked together before and on an anime called Banana Fish. That’s not the only fishy anime Utsumi has directed; they also did Free! Iwatobi Swim Club.
What goes on in Bucchigiri?! The plot revolves around a young man named Aladdin Tomobishi, who reunites with his former nearest buddy Matakara Asamine and quickly becomes engulfed in a battle to prove the strongest. There’s also… a genie on the horizon!
