anime series Kochoki: Wakaki Nobunaga began streaming a new trailer on Sunday (12). The video previews the opening song "Shisso" (Sprint) by Rib, as well as the song "Kiba to Tsubasa" (Fang and Wing) by May'n.
Also revealing 10 more cast members:
Taiten Kusunoki as Oda Nobuhide, Hidenari Ugaki as Shibata Katsuie, Mugihito as Hirate Masahide, Kenichirou Matsuda as Hayashi Hidesada, Kousuke Toriumi as Hayashi Michitomo, Ryohei Kimura as Sakuma Nobumori, Atsushi Tamaru as Sakuma Morishige, Ayumu Murase as Oda Hidetaka, Masako Katsuki as Dota Gozen and Tesshō Genda as Saitō Dōsan.
The anime will offer a bold interpretation of the historical figure Oda Nobunaga, beginning with his youth as a precocious teenager. The series will follow his rivalry with his younger brother, Nobuyuki.
Oda Nobunaga was a great daimyo of the Sengoku period of Japanese history. The son of Oda Nobuhide, a minor warrior with few lands in Owari province, Nobunaga lived a life of continuous military conquests until he conquered almost all of Japan, when he was assassinated in 1582. His successors were Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who, like Oda, were extremely important figures in Japanese history. Nobunaga is remembered in Japan as one of the most brutal figures of the Sengoku period.
With a July 2019 premiere, the show will air in Japan on Tokyo MX, AT-X, WOWOWOW, and BS-Fuji. The anime will reunite the Hakuouki franchise's staff, including character designer Atsuko Nakajima, script supervisor Ryota Yamaguchi, and screenwriter Megumu Sasano. Additionally, Kaoru Sawada (Diamond Daydreams, Junji Ito "Collection") is also writing the scripts, and Noriyuki Abe (Yū Yū Hakusho, Bleach, GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka, The Heroic Legend of Arslan) is directing the series. Yusuke Shirato (Lost Song) is composing the music at Flying Dog Studios.
Sasano released a novel adaptation on Animage on January 10. The novel will serve as both a prequel and a spinoff.
