Why it matters
Pairing the television confirmation with a sales milestone and a fully returning cast frames the anime as an extension of the game rather than a new version of it.
Key Facts
- Yuzu Soft's Senren * Banka anime adaptation is set to premiere in 2027.
- The Senren * Banka visual novel has surpassed 1 million copies in worldwide cumulative sales.
- Sora Haruka, Yuki Kotorii, Mikan Sato, and Sawa Sawasawa reprise their Senren * Banka game roles in the anime.
- KOTOKO performs the opening theme for the Senren * Banka anime after performing the visual novel's opening theme.
- Yuzu Soft released the Senren * Banka visual novel in Japan in July 2016.
The same announcement put the game past 1 million copies in worldwide cumulative sales, and original character designer Kobuichi marked the news with a celebratory illustration. Four actors from the game return to voice their characters: Sora Haruka as Yoshino Tomotake, Yuki Kotorii as Mako Hitachi, Mikan Sato as Murasame, and Sawa Sawasawa as Lena Liechtenauer. KOTOKO performs the opening theme, after performing the same role for the visual novel. The anime will premiere in 2027. Yuzu Soft released the visual novel in Japan in July 2016 for the company's 10th anniversary. Nekonyan published an English version in February 2020.
Sekai Project announced in July 2017 that it would publish Senren * Banka in English; Nekonyan announced in 2018 that it would take over the release instead. The game reached the Switch in May 2022.
The new account, @senren_anime, uses a line from the game as a post tagline: 'A maiden's love is hidden though it may be.' Its November 5 posts carried Kobuichi's celebratory artwork and a separate comment from Yuzu Soft looking forward to the adaptation, both tagged #AnimeSenrenBanka.
Kobuichi is credited as the visual novel's original character designer, and the campaign turns that artwork into a QUO card. Entries require following the account and reposting or quote-reposting the campaign post; three winners are drawn and applications close on November 20 (Friday).
The account presents the sales figure and the adaptation as a single piece of news, with Kobuichi's celebratory artwork as its visual.
