Set in a dystopian near future where otaku culture in Japan has been obliterated by a mysterious organization known as “SSC”, Magical Girl Destroyers follows the misadventures of Otaku Hero—a young revolutionary who loves otaku culture—and Anarchy, Blue, and Pink, a trio of magical girls who admire him. Together they struggle to create “a world where you can say what you like about what you like as much as you like.”

The Magical Girl Destroyers original TV anime was created by designer JUN INAGAWA with Hiroshi Ikehata (FLCL Progressive) directing the series at Bibury Animation Studios. The series is set to premiere in Japan on April 7 at 25:55 (effectively, 1:55 PM).
