Sentai Filmworks is bringing Super Sonico for a Premiere at Anime Matsuri

super sonico ep 1

It seems like Sentai Filmworks is putting a lot of effort into Anime Matsuri, especially since it’s down the road from their home HQ. In addition to their Parasyte -the maxim- auditions, Sentai Filmworks is bringing the world premiere of Super Sonico, and a taste of Jessica Nigri as the lead. If you’re a fan of Nigri’s work in RWBY, you should probably check this out if you’re in town. The premiere comes well in advance of the May 26th release.

In case you aren’t familiar with Super Sonico, here’s a plot synopsis:

Saying Sonico is an incredibly busy young woman is an understatement. She juggles a modeling career, part-time work at her grandmother’s bar, performs lead vocals and guitar in an all-girl band, ALL while attending college! Not to mention taking care of her five cats. Or is that the other way around? When her workload gets a little too heavy, she can count on her fellow musicians Suzu and Furi, and the rest of her friends for a stabilizing influence. Get ready for the bounciest adventure ever as this three girl band shakes, rattles, rolls and takes Tokyo by storm in Super Sonico: The Animation!

If you are in the Texas area, it seems like Anime Matsuri is the place to be if you’re a fan of Sentai Filmworks.
