Another giant young lady is stomping into town. The official X account for the Giant Ojosama (Giant Ojō-sama) TV anime announced that Rina Kawaguchi will voice Stella, another girl of gigantic size, and shared a character trailer and cast comment to mark the news.
The cast so far
Stella’s reveal follows last week’s announcement that Risa Imayanagi plays Madoka Ito, a member of the “Secret Service” who also ends up growing to giant size. They join the two leads announced in September:
- Yu Serizawa as Oriko Fujido
- Junya Enoki as Dr. Sebastian
- Risa Imayanagi as Madoka Ito
- Rina Kawaguchi as Stella
The production has been rolling out a series of five character trailers since October, starting with Oriko, so more faces are likely on the way before the premiere.
Staff and premiere
The anime premieres in January 2027. Hiroshi Ikehata (WITCH WATCH) directs at Tatsunoko Production, with Katsuya Oshima as assistant director. Hajime Mitsuda handles character designs and serves as chief animation director, and Yu Sato is in charge of series composition and scripts. Yusuke Shirato, Kijibato and Aira compose the music. Broadcast stations and streaming platforms have not been announced yet.
What is Giant Ojosama?
Oriko Fujido is the heiress of the Fujido conglomerate, which controls vending machines and drinks around the world. For her fourth birthday she received an entire town as a present, and she has loved it and its residents ever since. A little over a decade later, a giant invader attacks. Her butler and researcher Dr. Sebastian hands her a newly developed drink, and it turns her into a giant too. With a confident “Ohohoho!”, Oriko sets out to protect her town, even if her battles risk flattening the very place she wants to save.
Nikumura Q has serialized the original manga on Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry service since July 2020, and the 13th volume shipped in September. The series earned a nomination in the 2022 Next Manga Awards web category and placed fifth in AnimeJapan’s “Most Wanted Anime Adaptation” poll in 2023, so fans have been waiting a while to see Oriko at full scale.
