Animation Production: Madhouse
Production: Sony Pictures Entertainment (Japan) Inc., Madhouse

Akio Ohtsuka as Blade

The story revolves around Blade, a "Daywalker" vampire hunter who was born with vampire and human blood after a vampire attacked his mother. While visiting Japan on a mission, Blade tracks down Deacon Frost, the vampire who killed his mother. Blade confronts "Existence," a mysterious organization composed of vampires modified by Frost.
Kodansha posted the following promotional video of the Fairy Tail manga's special "Yōsei Gakuen Yankee-kun to Yankee-chan" anime DVD, which will be bundled with the manga's 27th volume on June 17. The special features the characters from Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail fantasy adventure series parodying tropes from school comedy stories such as Yankee-kun to Megane-chan.
The official Ro-Kyu-Bu! YouTube account posted the following live-action teaser video for the upcoming television anime adaptation of Sagu Aoyama's light novel series. The story centers around a high school freshman boy named Subaru Hasegawa who joined the basketball team, but the team stopped playing due to the captain being suspected of being a lolicon. Subaru somehow ends up as a coach of an elementary school's basketball team with five girls.
The girls are played by five voice actresses, who form a unit named Ro-Kyu-Bu! after the anime's title:
Yūki Kaji (Hasegawa) and Shizuka Itou will also appear in the series.
