With the anime underway and the game getting a lot of attention, the official channel for Battle Girl High School has launched a new commercial spot that clocks in at thirty seconds with a focus on the character of Misaki. It’s a pretty grim and somber kind of promo that may give a different impression than what one might think the show is like.
The series is being directed by Noriaki Akitaya based on the series composition by Yousuke Kuroda. Akitaya has Yasuyuki Oishi serving as an assistant direction and Kazuo Miyake as the series director. Shuuhei Yamamoto and Hideki Furukawa are handling the character designs with the animation produced by Silver Link. The game came out in the spring of 2015 and has had a four-panel manga adaptation along the way and a novelization of the main story from the game has now been set with Keishou Yanagawa writing it with illustrations from Haruken.
The Japanese cast is made up the actors from the game itself and includes Aya Suzuki as Miki Hoshitsuki, Ayane Sakura as Subaru Wakaba, Sora Amamiya as Haruka Narumi, Nao Tōyama as Nozomi Amano, Sumire Uesaka as Yuri Himukai, Saori Hayami as Kurumi Tokiwa, Kaede Hondo as Kanon Kōgami, Shino Shimoji as Shiho Kunieda, Yumi Uchiyama as Anko Tsubuzaki, Yoshino Nanjō as Renge Serizawa, Mutsumi Tamura as Asuha Kusunoki, Misaki Kuno as Sakura Fujimiya, Hiromi Igarashi as Hinata Minami, Aoi Yūki as Sadone, Ibuki Kido as Kaede Sendōin, Emiri Katō as Michelle Watagi, Hitomi Harada as Kokomi Asahina and Maaya Uchida as Urara Hasumi.
Plot concept: The school action role-playing game is set in the year 2045. The world has been contaminated by Irōsu (mysterious invaders who suddenly appeared), and humans find themselves restricted and contained. Standing boldly against these invaders are ordinary girls everywhere, without a powerful army or even weapons. The Shinjugammine Girls Academy is a school for these “Hoshimori” (Star Guardians) destined to fight the Irōsu. The player is assigned to this academy to train the girls and take back the contaminated Earth.
