AnimeLab is getting their winter 2016 anime season in order and one of the first titles they’re announcing is that of Haruchika. While the Australian based streaming service hasn’t revealed their premiere date yet, the show is set for a January 6th, 2016 debut in Japan.
The series adapts the Haruchika series of novels from Sei Hatsuno. It’s set to star Sarah Emi Bridcutt as Chika Homura, Souma Saito as Haruta Kamijo, Natsuki Hanae as Shinjiro Kusakabe, Seiichiro Yamashita as Keisuke Katagiri, Haruka Chisuga as Miyoko Narushima, Nobunaga Shimazaki as Maren Sei, Asami Seto as Naoko Serizawa, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Sakaiyu Hiyama and Yuki Yamada as Akari Goto.
Haruchika is being directed by Masakau Hashimoto based on scripts and composition by Reiko Yoshida. Namaniku ATK handled the original character design and Asako Nishda will be doing the designs for the series.
The work is based on the novels that began in 2008 with four out so far and a fifth in the works.
Plot concept: Haruta and Chika are members of their high school wind instrument club that is on the verge of being shut down. The two are childhood friends, and they spend their days practicing hard while also trying to recruit new members. When a certain incident happens within their school, they work together to solve it.
