On March 31, new anime in connection with Earth Star Entertainment were announced at Anime Contents Expo 2013. Earth Star is putting effort into not just developing manga, but anime as well.

Earth Star announced that their first 30-minute anime to broadcast will be an adaptation of the manga Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai. They also announced that the second season of the high-tension, five-minute anime Teekyu will also be televised.

Written by Kiyohiko Natsuki, Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai! is story about a national idol group’s popular vocalist suddenly becoming a female pro wrestler. The anime will broadcast this October. Rion Kujo, known for Battle Vixens: Shugaku Toshi Keppu-roku, is directing and Rin Shin, known for Queen’s Blade and Battle Vixens is in charge of character designs.

Written by Roots and illustrated by Piyo, Teekyu is a popular comedic anime that has been broadcasting since last October. The second season is directed by Shin Itagaki, who is also in charge of the screenplay, storyboard, character design, and music. Also, voice stars Suzuko Mimori, Yui Watanabe, Kyoko Narumi, and Kana Hanazawa have regrouped to work on the anime. The second season will broadcast this July.

Furthermore, an anime adaptation was announced for Sayaka Mogi’s Pupa, a story of the extreme bond between an older brother and his younger sister.

The official site for each anime has opened with the original works’ first volumes available to read for free. It’s hard to keep our eyes off Earth Star’s successive development of anime!
