posted on by Karen Ressler
The official website for the anime of Fumiaki Maruto's Saenai Heroine no Sodate-kata light novel began streaming a commercial on Thursday. The commercial features the opening theme "Kimiiro Signal" by Luna Haruna.
The text in the video reads: "A graffiti of youth about the girl of 'destiny.'"
In addition, the website announced that Miku Sawai will perform the ending theme song "Colorful."
The cast includes:
Saori Ōnishi (Senki Zesshō Symphogear G 's Ayumi, The Pet Girl of Sakurasou's Shiho) as Eriri Spencer Sawamura
Kiyono Yasuno (Parasyte's Yuko Tachikawa, Aikatsu!'s as Sakura Kitaōji ) as Megumi Katō
Ai Kayano (anohana's Menma, Guilty Crown's Inori) as Utaha Kasumigaoka
Sayuri Yahagi (To Love-Ru's Haruna Sairenji, Hayate the Combat Butler's Izumi Segawa) as Michiru Hyōdō
Chinatsu Akasaki (Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!' Shinka) as Izumi Hashima
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Sword Art Online's Kirito, Buddy Complex's Aoba Watase) as Tomoya Aki
Tetsuya Kakihara (Fairy Tail's Natsu) will play Iori Hashima.
The original light novels with illustrations by Kurehito Misaki revolve around Tomoya Aki, an otaku who is working part-time to earn enough money to buy anime on Blu-Ray, who meets a beautiful girl on his way home during spring vacation. He eventually models the heroine of his own dojin game after her. However, he finds out a month later that the girl is in fact his classmate, and he doesn't know her name. He learns that the girl — named Megumi — actually is hardly noticed by others. Tomoya also has no artistic ability or writing skills, so he asks ace of the art club Eriri Spencer Sawamura to provide the art, as well as the honor student Utaha Kasumigaoka to write the scenario. Can they produce a decent game for Comic Market?
Kanta Kamei (Bunny Drop, Nanana's Buried Treasure, Oreshura, Tales of Vesperia ~The First Strike~) is directing the anime at A-1 Pictures. Maruto (White Album 2) is, himself, writing the scripts and Hajime Hyakkoku (K-ON!, GJ Club) of F.M.F is composing the music.
The anime will premiere on January 8 in Fuji TV's Noitamina block.
