Crunchyrolll Simulcasts Given Boys-Love Anime

Crunchyroll announced on Wednesday that it will stream the anime adaptation of Natsuki Kizu's Given manga as part of its summer simulcast lineup. The simulcast will debut on Thursday at 3:55 p.m. EDT, and it will be available worldwide outside Asia.

Crunchyroll describes the anime's story:

Somehow, the guitar that he used to love to play and the basketball games that he found so fun just lost their appeal...

That was until Ritsuka Uenoyama randomly met Mafuyu Sato. Ritsuka had started losing his passion for music in his everyday life, but then he hears Mafuyu sing for the first time. The song resonates with his heart and the distance between them starts to change.

The series will premiere on Fuji TV's Noitamina programming block on July 11, and will air on Thursdays at 24:55 (Fridays at 12:55 a.m). The anime will be the "first anime based on a boys-love manga" to air on Noitamina.

Hikaru Yamaguchi (director for Escha Chron, episode director for Mr. Osomatsu, Battle Spirits Double Drive) is directing the anime at studio Lerche. Yuniko Ayana (BanG Dream! both seasons, Girls Beyond the Wasteland) is overseeing the series scripts.

Solo rock project centimillimental is performing the opening theme song "Kizuato." The in-anime group "Given" is performing the ending theme song "Mirutsuke." centimillimental is producing the ending theme song.

The manga runs in Shinshokan's Cheri+ magazine, and Shinshokan published the manga's fifth compiled volume on April 1.

Kadokawa, 'Lucky☆Star' Author Launch 'Maesetsu!' Original Anime

This year's August issue of Comptiq magazine announced an original anime titled Maesetsu! on Wednesday. Kadokawa simultaneously opened an official website for the anime, revealing a key visual (pictured).

Manga author Kagami Yoshimizu, known for creating Lucky☆Star, developed the anime's original plan. Yoshimizu is also drawing a 4-koma manga for the project.

Scriptwriter Shouta Gotou (Kibun wa Ikaga recital drama) is credited as a main staff member. Main cast includes Yoshimoto Kogyo's otaku-based comedy duo Freak!, which consists of Tomita Junki and Hatsuna Ubuno.

The anime centers on four girls at the full bloom of their youth, working hard to achieve their dreams as they struggle valiantly. In Japanese entertainment, Maesetsu! refers to an introductory talk or explanation addressed to the audience before the broadcast of television programs, usually performed by assistant directors and particularly comedians in variety or comedy shows.

Yoshimizu launched Lucky☆Star in Comptiq in 2004. The slice of life comedy series was also featured in multiple Kadokawa magazines including Comp Ace, Shounen Ace, and Newtype. The manga went on hiatus in 2014 due to a new project Yoshimizu was then developing. Kadokawa shipped the tenth volume in November 2013.

Kyoto Animation adapted the manga into a television anime in 2007 and an original video animation the following year.
