iBreaker Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Aniplex producer Shinichiro Kashiwada announced at Aniplex of America's panel at Sakura-Con on April 3 that the company will produce The Asterisk War: The Academy City on the Water (Gakusen Toshi Asterisk) anime series. The anime is an adaptation of light novel series by Yuu Miyazaki with illustrations by okiura. Media Factory publishes the novels in Japan and eight volumes have been published so far. Aniplex of America announced on September 23 that it had licensed the anime. The battle-action series will stream on Crunchyroll beginning on October 3. Synopsis Invertia (meteor storm)… an unprecedented disaster that struck the world during the 20th century. Because of this disaster, numerous cities around the world were destroyed. However, within the meteor, an unknown element called mana (the all-encompassing element), was discovered, which allowed human technology to make rapid strides. This also gave rise to a new species of human born with unique skills – the Star Pulse Generation (Genestella). The setting for the world's greatest comprehensive battle spectacle, the Festas (Star Warrior Festivals), is an academy city above the water surrounded by six academies called “Rikka,” also commonly known as “Asterisk.” Having transferred into Seidoukan Academy in order to fulfill his own wish, scholarship student Ayato Amagiri swears he too will fight in this city. Burning souls race… The curtain rises on this school battle spectacle! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiLnJI7cTbk STAFF: Based on story by Yuu Miyazaki ("Gakusen Toshi Asterisk" MF Bunko / KADOKAWA) Original Character Design: okiura General Director: Manabu Ono Director: Kenji Seto Character Design & Animation Director: Tetsuya Kawakami Set Design: Kenichi Morioka Color Design: Aiko Matsuyama Art Director: Yukihiro Watanabe Director of Photography: Yasuhiro Nakanishi / Hiroki Sugiyama CG Director: Nao Kudō Editor: Masahiro Goto Sound Director: Satoshi Motoyama Music: Rasmus Faber Music Production: FlyingDog Produced by: A-1 Pictures OP Theme: Shiena Nishizawa ED Theme: Maaya Sakamoto CAST: Ayato Amagiri: Atsushi Tamaru Julis-Alexia von Riessfelt: Ai Kakuma Claudia Enfield: Nao Tōyama Saya Sasamiya: Shiori Izawa Kirin Toudou: Ari Ozawa Eishiro Yabuki: Yūma Uchida Lester MacPhail: Takanori Hoshino Ernesta Kuhne: Chinatsu Akasaki Camilla Pareto: Mutsumi Tamura Irene Urzaiz: Yumi Uchiyama Priscilla Urzaiz: Juri Nagatsuma Dirk Eberwein: Tomokazu Sugita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
