Set in a world where seemingly everyone is a self-styled wrestler, Invincible Fight Girl tells the story of Andy (Sydney Mikayla), a young girl who sets out on a mission to become a legendary brawler one match at a time. While Andy’s parents want her to become an accountant, she longs for the kind of fame and glory that her retired wrestling champ Aunt P. (Rolonda Watts) enjoyed during her days knocking skulls in front of crowds of roaring fans.
Andy’s size makes her seem like she might not be all that much of a threat to the massive bruisers known to dominate her world’s heightened version of pro wrestling. But Invincible Fight Girl’s new trailer highlights how Andy’s passion for the sport and Aunt P.’s training turn her into a surprise powerhouse who might have exactly what it takes to climb her way to the top.
The trailer only features a bit of Invincible Fight Girl’s anime-inspired action, but it’s enough to make the show look like a slick and high-octane addition to Adult Swim’s Toonami block. And while it’s felt like forever since the network announced the show was coming, it won’t be long until it makes its big debut on November 2nd.
