The Nintendo 3DS game Armed Blue: Gunvolt was slotted for an anime adaptation as it was announced at Anime Expo 2015 and we’ve had some promotional material for it previously. What we haven’t had is a date for the OVA, but that’s now changed with an English dubbed trailer that has landed to reveal a February 9th, 2017 debut through the e-Shop Nintendo runs.
The project will be bringing in the same cast as the game, which was expected, and will include Kaito Ishikawa as Gunvolt, Megu Sakuragawa as Lumen, Masashi Yukita as Asimov and Ayumu Murase as Nova.
The English cast includes Josh Keller as Gunvolt, “Azure Striker”, Diana Garnet as Lumen / Joule, “The Muse”, Maxwell Powers as Asimov, Hannah Grace as Moniqa, Stephen Wiley as Zeno and Chris Nelson as Nova, “The Mighty”.
The project has set Yoshinori Odaka to direct it based on the script by Shigeru Murakoshi with character designs by Masakazu Sunagawa. It’s being animated at Tohokushinsha Film Corporation x LandQ Studio’s.
Plot concept: In the near future, there are people with special power called Sevens. It seems like the country has maintained peace by a company called Sumeragi Group, but they are the one who captured the people with the special power by force and did inhumane experiments. Gunvolt, the main character who has the power of Sevens, used to be in Feather, a resistant group who fought against the Sumeragi Group. The story begins with meeting the heroine, Sian.
