The TV anime adaptation of Giant Ojosama (ジャイアントお嬢様) has finally introduced its two central characters in motion and voice. Yu Serizawa will play Oriko Fujido, while Junya Enoki has been cast as Dr. Sebastian.
The first teaser also provides an early look at how Tatsunoko Production is translating Nikumura Q's manga to animation.

Teaser Trailer and Teaser Visual

Oriko Finally Moves and Speaks
The teaser is the first major anime footage to show Oriko fully animated. She appears as the young lady of the Fujido Group who has spent years developing and caring for the town she received as a birthday present.
When a gigantic invader appears, Dr. Sebastian hands Oriko a newly developed drink. It turns out to be a giantification formula, causing her to grow until she breaks through the surrounding buildings.
The sequence immediately establishes one of the manga's defining traits: intentionally excessive scale paired with Oriko's energetic comedy.
Yu Serizawa and Junya Enoki Lead the Cast
Yu Serizawa voices Oriko Fujido. In her comment following the announcement, Serizawa highlighted the character's many sides, including her elegant ojou-sama demeanor, exaggerated comedy faces, occasional sharp tongue, affection for her town and residents, and uninhibited behavior once she becomes gigantic.
Junya Enoki plays Dr. Sebastian, the butler and researcher who supports Oriko while also creating the giantification drink.
Enoki described the series as maintaining an unusually energetic setting and tone, while also pointing to the warm relationship between Oriko and Sebastian as a source of more relaxed moments amid its giant-scale chaos.
The Teaser Establishes the Scale of the Giant Action
The first footage does more than introduce the cast. Tatsunoko Production immediately uses the difference in scale as one of the anime's core visual tools.
Once Oriko transforms, buildings that previously formed an ordinary part of her city become small enough for her body to break through. The gigantic invader then gives her a reason to personally defend the place she has spent years building with Sebastian.
That keeps the original manga's central joke intact: Oriko genuinely wants to save her city, even though her own giant form can create substantial chaos in the very place she is protecting.
The Anime's Production Staff Expands
The August announcement had already confirmed Hiroshi Ikehata as director, Katsuya Oshima as assistant director, Hajime Mitsuda as character designer and chief animation director, and Yu Sato for series composition and scripts.
The teaser update adds further production credits. Takashi Hiruma handles art setting, Hijiri Ito of Studio ARA serves as art director, Misako Akama is responsible for color design, and Masashi Kamiki and Yohei Konishi are the directors of photography.
Akinori Mishima handles editing, Takumi Ito serves as sound director, HALF H・P STUDIO handles sound production, and Yusuke Shirato, Kijibato and Aira of Dream Monster compose the music. Tatsunoko Production remains responsible for animation production.
Manga Volume 13 Arrives September 11
The source manga is also receiving another collected volume. Giant Ojosama Volume 13 is scheduled for publication by Shogakukan on September 11, 2026.
The volume is officially priced at ¥770 including tax, uses a B6 format, contains 192 pages, and carries ISBN 9784098548187.
Its synopsis continues Oriko's search for her mother, Victoria. After the revived people-finding machine reveals Victoria's location, another problem emerges: the group needs a particular form of energy to get their spacecraft moving.
Because Volume 13 had not yet launched when the anime teaser arrived, 12 collected volumes were commercially available at the time of the announcement.
Why This Matters
1) The teaser immediately captures the manga's core identity
Oriko's giantification is no longer just part of a synopsis; the anime shows it directly against the scale of buildings and the city.
2) The two central characters now have voices
Yu Serizawa and Junya Enoki establish the Oriko-Sebastian partnership that drives much of the series' comedy and story.
3) Tatsunoko Production is beginning to show its approach
The footage offers an early look at the anime's comic timing, character expressions, visual scale and treatment of giant action.
4) The manga remains active ahead of broadcast
Volume 13 arrives only days after the teaser, meaning the television adaptation is moving forward while its source story is still expanding.
