Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl â A Razor-Edged Return to Cyberpunk Anime Glory
âWhether the target is alive or dead... is irrelevant.âÂ
With that chilling mantra, Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl slices into the anime scene like a bullet through neon smoke. Slated for a limited theatrical release on June 27, 2025, this original anime project marks the long-awaited return of cult legend Yasuomi Umetsu (of KITE and Mezzo Forte fame) in collaboration with animation powerhouse SHAFT, known for iconic series like Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Monogatari.
âïž The World of Clockwork Girl
Set in a dystopian 2099, Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl unfolds in a world where âSomadeaâ medical android technology has cured illness and injury â but at a cost. This miracle tech has birthed a new underworld of crime, where enhanced beings commit atrocities far beyond human limits. To combat this, the government launches the Bounty Hunter System, deputizing civilians to track and eliminate rogue Somadea criminals â dead or alive.
Enter Ubu Kamigori, a cold, calculating bounty hunter whose past comes back to haunt her in the form of the enigmatic Mr. Elegance. Their tangled history sparks the fuse to an explosive narrative of betrayal, technology, and survival.
đ„ What Makes Virgin Punk Special?

đ§ A Dark Reflection of Our Future

đŹ Final Verdict: Cyberpunk with Soul

It's stylish, visceral, and unapologetically bold â the kind of anime that punches you in the gut and asks philosophical questions later.
