Announced last fall (and with the manga picked up by Kodansha Comics for English release already), the anime adaptation of the O Maidens in Your Savage Season is almost here. Set for a July 5th, 2019 debut, the second full promotional video for the show has landed which feels like it plays a little different from the usual promos in how it gets underway. It has Masahiro Ando directing with Takuro Tsukada while the series scripts are coming from the manga creator, Mari Okada, with Kaori Ishii handling the character designs and animation produced by Lay-duce.
The Japanese cast includes Tomoyo Kurosawa as Hitoha Hongō, Chika Anzai as Niina Sugawara, Shimba Tsuchiya as Izumi Norimoto, Hiyori Kono as Kazusa Onodera, Momo Asakura as Momoko Sudō, Sumire Uesaka as Rika Sonezaki, Jun Fukuyama as Tomoaki Yamagishi, Yūya Hirose as Shun Amagiri, Shunsuke Sakuya as Hisashi Saegusa, Additionally, Haruka Tomatsu as Sonoe Jūjō, and Natsuki Hanae will play Satoshi Sugimoto.
The series comes from Mari Okada and Nao Emoto which began in 2016 in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. With five volumes out as of this past summer, it got a lot of attention for being Okada’s first manga after writing an incredible number of screenplays. She also got attention recently for her directorial debut with Maquia – When the Promised Flower Blooms.

Plot Concept: The girls in a high school literature club do a little icebreaker to get to know each other: answering the question, “What’s one thing you want to do before you die?” One of the girls blurts out, “Sex.” Little do they know, the whirlwind unleashed by that word pushes each of these girls, with different backgrounds and personalities, onto their own clumsy, funny, painful, and emotional paths toward adulthood.
