With a popular mobile game out there as Schoolgirl Strikers that has a manga series under the Schoolgirl Strikers: Comic Channel and a light novel series under Schoolgirl Strikers: Novel Channel, it was only a matter of time before Schoolgirl Strikers: Animation Channel was announced. The new series was revealed today with a key visual and a promotional video and plans for the series to debut in as part of the winter 2017 season in January.
The series is being directed by Hiroshi Nishikori based on the series composition by Takao Yoshioka. Yuichi Tanaka is handling the character designs and it’s being animated at JC Staff.
The Japanese cast includes actors that participated in the game with:
- Kaori Ishihara as Tsubame Miyama
- Rina Hidaka as Satoka Sumihara
- Miyuki Sawashiro as Io Yaginuma
- Kana Hanazawa as Yumi Sajima
- Yui Ogura as Mana Namori
Plot Concept: The in-story group Altile Torte (Tsubame Miyama, Satoka Sumihara, Io Yaginuma, Yumi Sajima, Mana Namori) is performing the opening theme song whose title will be announced later. Satoka Sumihara and Mana Namori are similarly performing the untitled ending theme song. Five character song CDs — one for each of the singing characters — will go on sale on January 25. Each CD will have the five-singer version of the opening song, a solo version, and a unique character song. The single for the ending theme will also go on sale on January 25 with the ending song itself and a second character duet song.
