SMIRAL is handling the distribution for the summer 2017 anime series A Centaur’s Life and has set a fairly standard plan for it. I missed getting this previously but now we have a look at the sixth and final volume artwork for the series and the run as a whole, which feels kind of weak to me. The series is getting a six-volume release on Blu-ray only where there’ll be priced at 7,000 that began on September 29th, 2017. Check out the full schedule below.
Fumitoshi Oizaki serves as the general director with Naoyuki Konno working as the series director. Touko Machida is on board to work on the series composition while Hide Shibuya is serving as the character designer and chief animation director. Studio Emon and Encourage Films will be handling the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Seria Furukawa as Himeno Kimihara, Yuuki Kuwahara as Nozomi Gokuraku, Haruka Shiraishi as Kyouko Naraku, Yuna Kamakura as Manami Mitama, Yuu Ayase as Quetzalcoatl Sassassul, Emi Miyajima as Mitsuyo Akechi, Honoka Kuroki as Inukai, Takaki Ootomari as Makoto Komori, Daisuke Oohashi as Chidori Hyappo, and Yomoya Yano as Yutaka Nekomi.
The opening theme song is “Oshiete Darwin” by Purely Monster while the ending theme song is “Edelweiss” by Asaka.
The manga comes from creator Kei Murayama which began in 2010 in Comic Ryu magazine and has fourteen volumes so far. It’s been released in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment who brought out the eleventh volume this month.
Plot Concept: Himeno is a sweet, shy little centaur girl. In her world, everyone seems to be a supernatural creature, and all her classmates have some kind of horns, wings, tails, halos, or other visible supernatural body part. Despite their supernatural elements, Himeno and her best friends, Nozomi and Kyoko, have a fun and mostly normal daily school life!
