'gdgd Men's Party' Promotional Video Released; Gamers Get Tasked to Find a Princess in Upcoming 3DCG Gag Anime
When video game enthusiasts Light and Yomi stay up late one night playing their games, they receive a message from another world and are subsequently forced into a quest to save a princess they hardly know. This is the main premise of the upcoming Japanese 3DCG gag anime series, "gdgd Men's Party."
When Light and Yomi get transported into another world on a mission to save Princess Melody from the Demon Lord, they have different reactions to it. On one hand, Light thinks of this as his destiny; on the other, Yomi thinks it's kind of annoying and would really rather be back in his own world, playing his game. Together with the AI robot Alpha, who also brought the message to them on that one fateful night, they form a team and embark on an adventure to save the princess at all cost.
A promotional video has been released on Strawberry Meets Pictures' YouTube channel. Aside from giving viewers a glimpse into the world where friend Light and Yomi are transported to, it also reveals the voice cast for the main characters, the staff list, as well as the opening and ending themes.
