With a game that launched back in 2015, I★CHU we got the nod way back in April that an anime adaptation is in the works with I★CHU Étoile Stage. Details have been slim since then but we now have a new promotional video out that comes with the main staff for the anime and a new key visual to the right. Hitoshi Nanba has signed on to direct based on the series scripts supervised by Yoshimi Narita. Mina Osawa is handling the character designs with Lay-duce working on the animation production.
With the game having 42 characters (so far!), it’ll be interesting to see if they introduce all of them or break it into smaller components in order to bring it out in anime form over time.
Check out the official site and Twitter.
Plot Concept: A famous talent agency called Ailedore has created an academy called Etoile Vio School to train budding idols.
