Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl, the first installment of Yasuomi Umetsu‘s new action anime series Virgin Punk, will premiere in Japanese theaters on June 27 JST. It was previously announced that would be released in early summer 2025. Virgin Punk features a bounty hunter protagonist called Ubu. The story will involve her struggles, as well as the “desires” and “chaos” interweaved by the characters around her.
The anime marks Umetsu’s first project-wide directorial role since 2014’s Wizard Barristers and is his first Shaft-produced series. In the last few years, Umetsu could be found in the credits of Shaft productions like Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story (key animation), Pretty Boy Detective Club (opening storyboard artist and director et al.), Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story Final Season (key animation), and The Quintessential Quintuplets~ (key animation).
