FUNimation continues to add licenses for series they simulcast but hadn’t made any further progress with until now as they’ve slotted D-Frag! for a home video release in the future. No dates were given but it’s expected to have a 2015 release based on timing. The show will benefit from the manga that Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing and the potential for a little cross pollination as well as cross marketing that can be done to benefit both companies.
The series is part of the push from Media Factory to get more of their works adapted into anime and they’re working with Brains Base for this one. Based on the manga by Tomoya Haruno that began in 2008 in Comic Alive, the series is being directed by Seiki Sugawara, who has worked laregely as an episode director for a few different shows, based on the scripts by Makoto Uezu. Uezeu has a lengthy series of credits behind him including School Days, the initial episodes for Space Brothers and Devil Survivor 2.
Plot concept: Kenji likes to think that he and his gang of friends are the bad boys of their school. That is, until he meets the four insane girls of a game making club whose personalities are all super weird (and a little on the violent side). When Kenji’s forced to join their little group, his life quickly takes a turn for the outrageous.
