Banpresto and Toei's Kyousogiga anime project is getting a television anime series this fall. The series will run for 13 episodes, including two summary episodes, one special episode, and 10 regular episodes. The cast and staff will return to the series, including director Rie Matsumoto. Matsumoto was only 25 years old when she helmed 2010's Heartcatch Precure! Hana no Miyako de Fashion Show…Desu ka!?

The other staff members are as follows:

Planning: Kyousogiga Project, Banpresto, Toei Animation, Toei Video
Original Work: Izumi Todo

And the cast is as follows:

The original Kyousogiga original net animated series marked the first time Banpresto and Toei Animation collaborated together. The two companies launched the one-episode net anime in December 2011 on YouTube.

Banpresto and Toei then streamed the second five-episode net series Kyousogiga Dainidan between August and December 2012.

The new television anime has a website, but the site currently is just a test page.

Banpresto and Toei will host two events before the anime begins airing: one at the Chara Hobby 2013 event on September 1, and a stage event at the Kyoto International Manga and Anime Fair on September 8.
