With just a couple of weeks until its debut, the official site for the anime adaptation of the social mobile game of IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls has updated with a new key visual of the expansive main cast, whcih you can see below. We’ve had some decent key visuals released over the summer season, stills from the first episode that definitely paints the character designs in a very big and positive way, making them a large part of the draw in addition to the msuci itself. The series will premiere on January 9th, 2015 on Tokyo MX.
The show is also getting worldwide distribution with Aniplex handling it through Daisuki where it’ll see subtitles in English, Korean and Chinese for subtitles. Aniplex has done a lot through Daisuki and almost, but not always, brings the show to other distribution channels as well. Time will tell if this will be a Daisuki exclusive.
The new series, which will be produced by A-1 Pictures, is set to debut in January 2015 based on the mobile game of the same name and will feature the return of Noriko Takao to direct the series. Composition will be done by Tatsuya Takahashi while Yuusuke Matsuo will be handling the character designs.
The series stars Ayaka Fukuhara as Rin Shibuya, Ayaka Ohashi as Uzuki Shimamura, Sayuri Hara as Mio Honda, Natsumi Takamori as Miku Maekawa, Nozomi Yamamoto as Rika Jōgasaki and Ruriko Aoki as Riina Tada.
