posted on by Rae First
After Enterbrain announced that Ricotta's adult PC game Walkure Romanze Shōjo Kishi Monogatari was green-lit for a television anime adaptation, the show's production committee have now opened a website and a Twitter account that has revealed the main cast and staff for the series. The series is set to premiere this fall.
Yūsuke Yamamoto (Sergeant Frog, Aquarion Evol) will direct the series, and Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Detective Opera Milky Holmes, Kämpfer) is overseeing the screenplay. Kenichirou Katsura (Utawarerumono) is the character designer for the series, and 8-Bit is producing the series. Lantis will handle the music and Miyuki Hashimoto will be singing the opening.
Newcomer Seiichirō Yamashita will voice the main character, Takahiro Mizuno. Hiroko Taguchi (Miyako Miyamura in ef: a tale of memories and Maina in Elemental Gelade) will be joining the cast as LiSA Eosutore. Ai Shimizu, Kei Mizusawa, and Eriko Nakamura will be playing Mio Kisaki, Celia Cumani Aintree, and Noelle Marres Ascot respectively.
The visual novel centers around Takahiro Mizuno, a student training to be a begleiter (knight's assistant) at an academy where aspiring knights joust. He himself had come to this academy to train as a knight, after becoming the unrivaled junior champion in his own home country. However, an injury in a tournament's finals forced him to withdraw. Instead, he decides to be a begleiter to one of the academy's maiden knights and help her win.
Ricotta's first title, Princess Lover!, also inspired both video anime projects and a television anime series.
