Two of neco's illustrated projects are moving into new formats. Good Smile Company announced a television anime for Heavily Armed High School Girls, scheduled for 2027, and Prime 1 Studio opened orders for a 1/2 scale N/DOLL statue from Flower Imitation on September 29, 2026.
Two projects from illustrator neco are moving into different formats. In June 2026, Good Smile Company announced that Heavily Armed High School Girls, a project that started as a series of illustrations themed around armed high school girls and later expanded into multiple figure releases, is receiving a television anime adaptation scheduled for 2027. Masaki Tachibana is directing, and Natsuko Takahashi is handling series composition. Good Smile Film and Good Smile Company are jointly producing. The announcement came with a new key visual and a teaser promotional video, both featuring the character Ichi.
In a statement, neco said the project grew from a single illustration into figures and now an animated series. Tachibana said he worked closely with neco on character personalities during script development, and that voice recording sessions led to new discoveries about the characters.
The adaptation is a new step for Good Smile Film, which had been known as a figure manufacturer and merchandiser. The same week, orders opened for a 1/2 scale statue of N/DOLL from neco's original series Flower Imitation. Prime 1 Studio's Concept Masterline piece is 43cm tall and priced at 170,390 yen, with orders open from September 29 to November 30, 2026, and release planned for around February to May 2028. A bonus version adds an A3 cloth poster, limited to 300 units.
One story covers a television project and the other a collectible release. Both build on neco's work as an illustrator whose creations have moved into production outside their original medium.
