The anime adaptation of Kazuma Kamachi’s Heavy Object light novel series was announced back in October of last year. The series began in 2009 and has had eight volumes published so far and the release of the ninth volume is coming on April 10th, 2015. That release from Dengeki Bunko has revealed on its item page that the anime adaptation is now set for a fall 2015 broadcast in Japan.
A brief manga run was done back in 2009 that ran for two years and then a second manga adaptation kicked off in 2011 that also ran for two years. Unsurprisingly, a new manga adaptation is in the works.
The anime adaptation was announced at the Dengeki Bunko Fall Festival this month and while no staff or production studio was announced, a few of the characters had their casting revealed. The series will star Natsuki Hanae as Quenser, Kaito Ishikawa as Heivia, Shizuka Itou as Major Floretia Capistrano and Eri Suzuki as Milinda.
Plot concept: Quenser came to the Alaskan military base to study Objects, the new weapons that have completely revolutionized war as we know it—battles are fought by soldiers controlling Objects far away from harm; however, when he starts to get close to Object pilot Milinda, will he discover the grim truth behind Heavy Objects?
