Bend over FLCL, Cencoroll is going to show you how it's done
by God Len, 04/16/2009



Twich Films just released a new trailer for Anime Innovation Tokyo’s new independent project Cencoroll, and boy does it make me excited. It’s like FLCL all over again, but better! Not only does it look insane, but it was created almost entirely by one person, Atsuya Uki. He wrote the story, designed all the characters, animated it, and directed it all by himself; though probably got help with the music and the dialog.

The story is about a boy named Tetsu and his strange pet called a “cenco.” The cenco is able to change his form and morph into crazy things like a car or a giant baby-like creature with airplane wings. He ends up meeting a mysterious boy who threatens the town with a huge monster, who may or may not be a cenco itself. Also in the mix is a girl; I smell a love triangle!

Cencoroll
will be released sometime in 2009; and if we are lucky, a duel release in America as well since it seems to be a fad. Watch the old trailer after the jump.



Old trailer (but still great!)
