DAISUKI to stream Gunslinger Stratos to the UK

Japanese-born streaming service DAISUKI has just announced their full line-up of simulcasts for the spring, and although we're locked out of the vast majority of them there is one title that we do get to watch.

That series is video game adaptation Gunslinger Stratos: The Animation - here's DAISUKI's press blurb for the show:

A.D. 2115—the island nation once called Japan is now known as the “17th Far East Imperial City Management District.”

The citizens were promised a life of peace in exchange for some of the comfort they were used to having. People believed their lives would never change and tomorrow would be the same as today. No one suspected the impending doom which their society was about to face.

“Degradation”—a rare disease which led to the total disintegration of the human body to a mere pile of sand was slowly but surely spreading throughout the world.

Tohru Kazasumi, an ordinary student, becomes embroiled in a multi-universal battle between his world and the parallel world of “Frontier S (Stratos).” This meant that Toru must fight himself from an alternate world.

Their futures collide as their paths cross.

Will both worlds ever find peace?

The series begins streaming on Sunday, April 5th, with new episodes added every Sunday. You can find out more about Gunslinger Stratos at its English language web site.
