The anime adaptation of the Bakuon!! manga brought out its fourth promo about a month ago and that gave us the main cast for it while also showing off some good looking animation for the TV and OVA project. Now the official site has updated again to reveal a few more characters and their respective actors:
- Unshou Ishizuka as Hayakawa
- Yōko Hikasa as Tazuko
- Shinichiro Miki as Rin’s father
- Mitsuo Iwata as Onsa’s father
- Kazusa Aranami as Saruyama-sensei
- Azusa Tadokoro as Yume Sakura
The previously announced cast includes Reina Ueda as Hane Sakura, Nao Toyama as Rin Suzunoki, Yumi Uchiyama as Onsa Amano and Rikako Yamaguchi as Hijiri Minowa. The four main actors will also be performing the ending theme song together for the series, which will be called Buon, buon, Ride On!. The opening theme has now been revealed with Sayaka Sasaki performing the song FEELXALIVE.
The series is set to be directed by Junji Nishimura working off of overall series composition by Kurasumi Sunayama while ISao Sugimoto is handling the designs. TMS Entertainment is behind the animation. The new anime series is scheduled for an April 2016 premiere on Tokyo MX and others as is the norm.
The seventh volume of the manga series is set to land on March 18th, 2016 and will have a limited edition bundle with the OVA. The series comes from Mimama Orimoto and was launched back in 2011. The manga is not Orimoto’s first as they have several short form books out there over the years prior of varied types, but all playing within familiar tropes.
Plot concept: The story revolves around high school girls who discover the appeal of motorcycles. Hane Sakura is a high school student who looks a little bit like an airhead. On the way to her all-female high school one day, she is worn-out climbing a hilly road with a bicycle, but she sees a girl named Onsa Amano who is riding a motorcycle. Hane immediately becomes interested in motorcycles, and she and Onsa join the motorcycle club at the school. Then, Sakura sets out to get her license.
