The summer 2017 anime series Battle Girl High School is having its home video release handled by Flying Dog and they’ve set a shorter release plan for it. The twelve episode series is getting a three-volume “box set” release that comes with a CD in each set. Both formats are priced at 18,800 yen each and will have four episodes per set with it originally scheduled to begin on September 27th, 2017. That’s now gotten a rare bump as everything has been pushed back by two months to November 22nd, 2017, December 20th, 2017, and the final set on January 24th, 2018.
The series was 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 worked on 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 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.
