New information has been released on the official site of the new TV anime School-Live! ahead of the start of the broadcast beginning in July. Ari Ozawa, a member of the cast voicing main character Kurumi (Kurumi Ebisuzawa) has also released an enthusiastic comment regarding her role. A new character visual was also released.
The TV anime School-Live! is an adaptation of a manga by author Norimitsu Kaiho (Nitroplus) and illustrator Sadoru Chiba. The series is a survival horror featuring designs with a lovely touch that follows the girls of the Campus Life Club as they fight in a besieged school in a town overtaken by zombies. Directing is Masaomi Ando who is known from the anime adaptations of Fairy Tail and Accel World.
Kurumi is a third year student and friend to protagonist Yuki. An energetic girl whose preferred weapon of choice is a shovel and who has excellent reflexes, Kurumi is being played by Ari Ozawa. Ozawa, who has performed as Legris in Maria the Virgin Witch and Nozomi Moritomo in Rolling Girls among others, said enthusiastically regarding her role, “This is my first time taking on a boyish role in an anime, so I’m nervous but very happy. I’m looking forward to all the members of the fun and cute Campus Life Club!” She’s challenging herself with a type of character different from what she has played before.
The character visual also released is an illustration of Kurumi Ebisuzawa holding her beloved shovel over her left shoulder with a smile on her face and wearing her school uniform. It certainly leaves an impression of her being a cheerful girl.
Also, three clips of Kurumi’s voice have been released on the character page of the official site. This is a chance to be able to hear the voice of the boyish and energetic Kurumi voiced by Ozawa ahead of the broadcast.
New information continues to be released in succession for School-Live!. From hereon, more character voices will be released one after the next including Ri-san (Yuri Wakasa) voiced by MAO and Mi-kun (Miki Naoki) voiced by Rie Takahashi. Fans awaiting the July broadcast should definitely check it out.
