AKB48 Idol Group Gets 1st Anime on Air Next Spring (Updated)
posted on 2011-10-17 13:42 EDT
Macross creator Kawamori is chief director; 9 out of 200 to be chosen for theme song
The Nikkan Sports newspaper is reporting on Tuesday that the idol group AKB48 is getting its first anime, which will air next spring. The broadcasting station and title of the project, which will have an all-original story, are still secret. Shoji Kawamori, the co-creator of the Macross franchise and the co-director of Macross: Do You Remember Love?, is the project planner and the chief director, and Toshimichi Ootsuki (Evangelion: 1.0 You Are [Not] Alone) is the executive producer. As the newspaper puts it, AKB48 producer Yasushi Akimoto is "of course" planning and supervising the project.
The anime will center around nine idol candidates who aspire to be "legendary idols," in the motif of AKB48's real-life sōsenkyō (general election) Top 8.
Mari Okada (AnoHana, Hanairo, Toradora!) is supervising and writing the scripts, and Mikan Ehime (Macross Frontier, Gravion Zwei) is designing the characters. Yoshimasa Hiraike (Working!!/Wagnaria!!, Amagami SS, Sketchbook ~full color'S~) is the actual hands-on director of the anime at Satelight (Macross Frontier, Aquarion, Shugo Chara!).
The idol group members will "battle" each other in auditions to be voice actresses in this project, and the newspaper reports that the members' standings in "sōsenkyō" (general elections) popularity contests will not be a factor. Out of 200 candidates from AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, and its other spinoffs, 30 will be selected and announced on a dedicated website in November. In the final round of auditions held in Tokyo, nine will be chosen to perform the theme song.

Idol group AKB48 will have their first television anime next spring, it has been revealed. The story will revolve around 9 young girls aiming to become “legendary idols,” modeled after the Top 8 selection in AKB48′s general elections. The voice actresses for the 9 protagonists will be chosen through audition from the approximately 200 girls in AKB48 and their related groups.
Kawamori Shoji of “Macross” fame wrote the original draft and is serving as general director. AKB48 producer Akimoto Yasushi is in charge of planning and supervising. Okada Mari (“Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai,” “Gosick,” “Fractale”) is handling the series composition and the script.
Other staff members include character designer Ebata Risa (“Macross Frontier”), director Hiraike Yoshimasa (“WORKING!!,” “Amagami SS”), and executive producer Otsuki Toshimichi (the “Evangelion” movies). Animation will be done by the studio Satelight.
The first round of audition for the voice actresses will narrow down the field of 200 to 30 candidates, to be announced through a special website in mid-November. The final selection will be done through a publicly held audition in Tokyo.
The 9 winning members will not only voice the characters in the anime series, but they will also sing the show’s theme song.
The series is planned to start airing next spring, though the show’s title and the broadcasting station have not yet been announced. A comic version based on the original draft is also being considered, to be published by Kodansha.

On Tuesday, the official website for the AKB48 anime series announced the show’s 9 main cast members and revealed its basic story. The cast features 5 AKB48 team members, including Watanabe Mayu.
The anime, titled “AKB0048,” was first announced in October. Voice auditions were held for the 9 main characters, with approximately 200 members of AKB48 and its related groups eligible for the parts. The field was narrowed down to 30 finalists after the first round, and the final judging took place on December 13.
The winners were:
Watanabe Mayu (AKB48 Team B)
Mita Mao (NMB48 research student)
Ishida Haruka (AKB48 Team B)
Sato Sumire (AKB48 Team B)
Hata Sawako (SKE48 Team KII)
Nakaya Sayaka (AKB48 Team A)
Yagami Kumi (SKE48 Team S)
Iwata Karen (AKB48 research student)

Four members were also given special awards during the final round of the audition:
Takeuchi Miyu (AKB48 Team 4)
Murashige Anna (HKT48)
Kinoshita Momoka (NMB48 research student)

“AKB0048″ is set in a world where entertainment is prohibited, but a group of idols named AKB0048 continue to hold guerrilla performances in spite of the law.
The group inherited their name from AKB48, the legendary idol group that existed on Earth before a devastating world war made Earth uninhabitable, forcing its people to migrate to outer space. A galactic alliance was soon formed, which aimed to bring order by outlawing entertainment. Idols and other forms of entertainment have gradually faded away, but AKB0048 was born in an attempt to bring light to the darkness to that has overtaken the galaxy.
“AKB0048″ is scheduled to start airing next spring. It was previously announced that the staff includes director Kawamori Shoji of “Macross” fame, screenwriter Okada Mari (“Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai”), and producer Otsuki Toshimichi (the “Evangelion” movies).

AKB0048 Anime Will Include Famous Seiyuushttp://melosnomichi.blogspot.com/2012/02/akb0048-anime-will-include-famous.html (http://melosnomichi.blogspot.com/2012/02/akb0048-anime-will-include-famous.html)
Announced on February 25th, the upcoming [AKB0048] anime will not only have OOO48 members as seiyuus, but will also include famous seiyuus to voice the future versions of original AKB48 members in the show.
http://akb0048.jp/character/index2.html (http://akb0048.jp/character/index2.html)
Currently, only 3 positions have been filled, the other seiyuus have not been announced yet. Those 3 are:
Kanda Akemi: 9th Generation Oshima Yuko
Horie Yui: 6th Generation Kashiwagi Yuki
Tamura Yukari: Watanabe Mayu Type 3

Ummmm. Why can't the original members act out their own characters? Their voices will be more accurate that way. The only reason I can think for this move is to get the normal anime fans to watch the show because their favorite seiyuu is in it. I know that's the reason why I sat through countless boring anime in the past.
It's kinda strange that Tamura Yukari will voice Mayuyu, while Mayuyu voices another member. I'm also curious to what "mayuyu type 3" means? Cyborg Mayuyu in the anime? Yes please.
I wonder which seiyuu will get the holy grail of voicing Acchan?
I want to watch AKB0048!!
Satelight (the production company) is specialized in Meka Anime* so I’m confident I can look forward to see Meka like the ones in Macross Frontier or Aquarion EVOL. Moreover, judging by the PV and by the atmosphere Shawako told me the Anime has, I’m already excited!
Also, the one in charge of the Mecha design is Kawamori-san, who created the Mecha for my beloved Eureka!!
If that wasn’t enough, the members are going to do the voice acting so I want to cheer on them!
I was worried since I can’t watch Sanjuu TV but to be honest I don’t really know much about channels. (laugh)
<Masa> what the fuck is going on lol
-Great acting on behalf of the girls whose characters appeared in this episode. Karen especially. I didn't expect that from her.
I'm excited for more. It's pretty good. :thumbup
Rena's such an anime otaku. :lol: I'd do my usual "One of us! One of us! :panic:" thing, but I'm not much for anime anymore. :nervous
Music wise, its fine, I love the song playing next after Aitakatta, and I'm seriously hooked to it, I want to get my hands on that song when it gets released. :cathappy:
Shoujotachi yo? It's the first song on AKB48 3rd album (1st original album) "Koko ni ita koto."

Mayu's pretty much using her regular voice. It's a bit distracting. Interesting how Mayuyu is voiced by someone else though.
They should market those Kiraras.

BTW, did anyone noticed, Acchan was missing in the practice of Beginner, and I think in the Beginner live itself....where did she go? :huhuhI'm juggling between the ideas of them showing less Acchan to prepare fans for her grad (and have a feel of an AKB without her), if she has some incurable disease (drama! laying the foundation for a KKS to get center), or maybe she's just too busy to be in all the lives and tv shows (just like in real life!)
That aside, I was completely dumbfounded when I saw her eating with the trainees, with a lot of plates at that, lol. And there was another scene where she was eating again..... :lol: I thought she was exactly a cyborg......I mean, cyborgs don't eat right? Unless she's just partly a cyborg or something
I like how they retained some of the characters personality, though, lol at the MaYuki reversal, it was eye catching to be honest, but don't you think its cute? :rofl: I'd totally love to see another scene like that...

Unless she's just partly a cyborg or something, but I think a good example of what Sayaka wants the girls to do at dinner is what Mayuyu is doing, such a great role model. :lol:

A cyborg is a human/mechanical mix, and so still has to eat. An android is fully mechanical and so would not need to eat (unless there was some sort of design requirement that necessitated the consumption of food as a means of power regeneration).
The MaYuki role reversal scene is indeed cute but I was hoping to see anime Mayuyu being all child-like and carefree in the presence of Yukirin just like how the real Mayuyu behaves. However, anime Mayuyu is a cyborg so that's probably why she ends up being the cool and dependable one.
Tomochin everywhere~ :panic:

The new streaming anime announcements at Crunchyroll CONTINUE with AKB0048: next stage, which is set to broadcast every Sunday starting on January 13, at 7:30 am Pacific Time for premium members. Free members will be able to view one week after initial broadcast on Crunchyroll.
Inspired by AKB48 -- Japan’s most popular idol group -- this second season of the AKB0048 anime features voice acting from six members from across all three AKB48 teams: Team A (Karen Iwata, Mayu Watanabe, Sumire Sato), Team K (Amina Sato, Sayaka Nakaya), and Team B (Haruka Ishida). Other members from the AKB family also in AKB0048 include Kumi Yagami from SKE48 Team S, Mao Mita from NMB48 Team M, and Sawako Hato from SKE48 Team KII.
Story
“At the start of the 21st century, an interplanetary war broke out. Earth's ecosystem was severely damaged, and humanity was forced to flee the planet. On several planets of this new society, things that ‘disturb the heart’ like music and art are forbidden.
Before the people called ‘Idols’ fell into ruin, the legendary idol group AKB48 is resurrected as the interplanetary troupe AKB0048, made up of girls who carry on the title and spirit of the original members. Held as heroines by some and labeled as terrorists by others, they must take up arms to bring their music to their fans wherever they are.”
AKB0048: next stage will be available to the following territories: U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, South and Central America.
The show page will be up soon at www.crunchyroll.com/akb0048 (http://www.crunchyroll.com/akb0048)
The North American anime licensing company Sentai Filmworks announced on Wednesday that it has licensed the AKB0048, the television anime inspired by and starring the all-female idol group AKB48. The company will release the 26-episode series soon through "select digital outlets" and then later this year on home video.
Random fact of the day:
For anyone who knows or watched Bleach, Chieri's father is voiced by the same voice actor as for Aizen Sousuke.
Now try to rewatch him doing Aitakatta again in the same way. I bet you can't. :V
Thanks boykun for the tip.
