The anime adaptation of the manga series Keijo!!!!!!!! is scheduled for an October 6th, 2016 debut and a new look at it has come from some secondary advertising. Warner Bros. Japan has dropped a new 90-second promo for the ending theme song CD from the lead actresses and while it has some overlaid material on it, we get to see a lot more of the show – while also getting a good taste of the song! Animated by Xebec, the series will be directed by Hideya Takahashi based on the series composition from Takao Kato. Keiya Nakano is handling the character designs for it.
The new cast additions include:
- Rena Maeda as Hanabi Kawai
- Hibiku Yamamura as Mio Kusakai
- Rie Takahashi as Rin Rokudō
The previously revealed cast includes Lynn as Nozomi Kaminashi, M.A.O as Sayaka Miyata, Kaede Hondo as Kazane Aoba and Saori Oonishi as Non Toyoguchi.
The work comes from creator Daichi Sorayomi which began back in 2013 and has eleven volumes out as of this past spring. The work is Sorayomi’s second after the three volume series Momi-Baraishi ran in Club Sunday for three volumes between 2011 and 2012.
The opening theme song is “DREAMxSCRAMBLE!” by AiRI while the ending theme song is performed by the four lead actresses with “Fantas/HIP Girlfriends!”
Plot concept: Kaminashi Nozomi (17) is an exceptional gymnast. So much so that colleges with some of the best gymnastic programs are trying to recruit her. Unfortunately for them, she has other plans. Due to her family being extremely poor, money is everything to her. That’s why she wants to step into the world of “Keijo.” “Keijo” is a type of gambling sport where girls stand on a small floating platform and compete against one another. The aim is to push the other contestant off of the platform into the water, but they are only allowed to use their butt or breasts to push the others off. Will Nozomi be able to compete in the intense world of “Keijo” and bring wealth and fortune for her family?
