“Prince of Stride: Alternative” TV Anime to Premiere in January 2016

Prince of Stride, which began as a visual novel and has been developed across multiple media including drama CDs and games, is finally becoming an anime. The TV anime Prince of Stride: Alternative will premiere in January 2016. In addition to this announcement, a teaser visual has been posted and the main staff and cast revealed. The anime, along with its wonderful staff and cast members, will be perfect for welcoming the new year.

The story of Prince of Stride is concepted around a game called “Stride” in which teams of six race through towns. The series refreshingly depicts boys who are into the sport. Credited with planning and original design works on the series is Shuji Sogabe of FiFS. Producing the anime is Madhouse. Directing is Atsuko Ishizuka of No Game No Life and Hanayamata fame. Rounding out the confident staff is Taku Kishimoto of Silver Spoon and Haikyu!! fame as series composer.

However, what fans will likely be talking about is the wonderful voice cast. Announced this time are Ryouhei Kimura, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Kana Hanazawa, Kensho Ono, Daisuke Ono, Hiro Shimono, Junichi Suwabe, Ryotaro Okiayu, Mamoru Miyano, Daisuke Hirakawa, Takuya Eguchi, Tatsuhisa Suzuki, Yuki Ono, Kaede Okumura, and Toshiyuki Toyonaga. Talk about a bona fide all-star cast.

Events for the anime will also be held, at which members of the voice cast will make appearances. The first will be Machi Asobi Vol. 15 which will be held from Sept. 26 to Oct. 12 in Tokushima. On stage at the event will be Junichi Suwabe, voice of Kyosuke Kuga, and Daiki Yamashita, voice of Yuri Himemiya, who will both hold a talk show. Also, appearing at Animate Girls Festival 2015 to be held in Ikebukuro on Nov. 7 and 8 will be Yuki Ono, voice of Asuma Mayuzumi, and Toshiyuki Toyonaga, voice of Kaede Okumura. It seems things are already largely heating up for the anime.
