An English-subtitled version of the anime’s trailer was also released.
Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl, which is a first installment, premiered in Japanese theaters on June 27 JST. The show is set in the year 2099, where the Medical Android Technology Somadea has aided humanity in conquering injury and illness, but has also resulted in crimes due to its physical ability-enhancing properties.
