ACF 2078: Sentai Filmworks acquires license for PHI-BRAIN ~ PUZZLE OF GOD SEASON 3
The game only ends when there’s no one left alive to play in Sentai Filmworks’ newest acquisition: Phi-Brain ~ Puzzle of God, Season 3. This 25 episode installment of the successful series is directed by series veteran Hirotaka Endo and continues to feature character designs by Youhei Sasaki and music by Akio Izutsu.
Synopsis: No matter what Kaito tries to do, he’s inevitably drawn deeper into the cryptic realm of the Puzzles of God, where even the simplest riddle can quickly ripple into a matter of life and death. So a simple trip to England ends up spring-boarding the young genius into an all new mystery when the discovery of an unsolved puzzle leads into a maze of deadly deceptions and unexpected consequences.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Kaito also has another new Enigma to contend with: Johan Sigmund Enigma, who makes an explosive entrance and lays the bait for a challenge that will leave Kaito and his fellow puzzlers fighting for their lives.
Will they find the key pieces needed to crack the killer conundrum, or will this be the mystery that buries the Phi-Brains once and for all? A sinister Whodunnit awaits as the ultimate brain-twister continues in Phi-Brain ~ Puzzle of God, Season 3.
Phi-Brain ~ Puzzle of God, Season 3 will be available soon through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow in 2014.
