Description

Official Selection, 2015 Hong Kong International Film Festival

Five female otakus are too sheepish and antisocial to leave their geek haven Amamizukan, let alone talk to boys. Luckily, when Tsukimi is forced to step into the real world, her accidental encounter is with the leggy beauty Kuranosuke, who wears beautiful dresses and seductive… OH NO Kuranosuke is a man!! What will Tsukimi’s otaku sisters think? Amamizukan will crumble! But when their true threat comes in the form of evil politicians set on demolishing Amamizukan in the name of “development,” the otakus realize they must band together with Kuranosuke and make their voice heard. PRINCESS JELLYFISH is a pop culture parade glittered with rainbow candy, where democracy is a fashion show and gender is as gelatinous as jellyfish. –Brian Hu
