Avex Pictures is handling the winter 2017 anime series Idol Memories when it comes to the home video releases and have set a pretty interesting plan. The twelve episode series is going to get a three-volume run when it begins on February 3rd, 2017, just a month after the series premieres on TV. The releases will be Blu-ray only and priced at 6,800 yen each and will include Chinese subtitles in some form.
Katsuya Kikuchi is set to direct it based on the scripts by Hiroshi Oonogi and character designs by Reina Okuyama. The series will be animated by Seven Arcs Pictures, who worked on Dog Days, Trinity Seven and Mushibugyo among others.
The main cast includes Moe Toyota as Vivi Lin, Marika Hayase as Sena Hattori, Yuu Kimura as Kokona Hayakawa, Mayu Sagara as Miku Kajiwara, Ruriko Aoki as Yucho La and Riko Kohara as Nanami Hoshi.
Plot concept: In the near future where Idols are active in the space of virtual reality, two units from the Shiritsu Kanon Gakuen, which are currently ranking down, are aiming for the top of idol league! Who will be getting the honorable tiara?
