While it’s easy to hear a name like The Rolling Girls and even see some of the artwork, such as the right, and write it off, subtitled clips from the ongoing show can do a lot to change perceptions. The first subtitled clip has now arrived and clocking in at just under three minutes gives us a bit of a taste of the turf war that’s being fought, which shows something of the series that may not really be understood by those not watching it. FUNimation is streaming the series on Saturdays at 1pm ET, which you can check out here.
The show comes from Wit Studio and it has some really appealing designs to it. The series is going to star Ari Ozawa as Nozomi Moritomo, Rina Hidaka as Yukina Kosaka, Risa Taneda as Ai Hibiki and Yumiri Hanamori as Aya Misonochi. The series premiereed in Japan on January 10th, 2015 on MBS with a roll out to other networks on January 11th and January 12th.
Plot concept: Gun your engines and get ready for the full-throttle adventure of The Rolling Girls, the first original anime from the studio that brought you Attack on Titan! In the wake of the Great Tokyo War, Japan – as the world once knew it – no longer exists. What remains is a fragmented network of independent nations, each ruled by a prophet known as a Mosa. Every Mosa commands an army, or Mob, as they seek to conquer anyone in their path. Enter Nozomi, Yukina, Ai, and Chiaya. Together, these intrepid and adorable girls travel across battle-ravaged Japan, seeking to transform themselves – and their world!
