Sentai Acquires Planzet

Sentai Filmworks has announced its acquisition of creator/director Jun Awazu’s 2010 CG anime film Planzet. The 53 minute movie details the last remaining member of a human military resistance against an alien invasion who initiates “Plan Z,” Earth’s final hope to repel the overpowering aliens. Creator Jun Awazu leapt to prominence with his 2007 independent CG anime short film Negadon: The Monster from Mars. Sentai will release the film digitally and on domestic DVD and BD later this year.

Not a bad acquisition, but regretably like Negadon, Planzet isn’t without its weaknesses, including a climax that feels abbreviated and underdeveloped.
