Aniplus-Asia Simulcasts Rokka, School-Live, 2nd The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Season in July

Southeast Asian channel Aniplus-Asia announced on its Facebook page on July 5 that it will begin simulcasting the Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers, School-Live!, and the second season of the The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls anime in July.

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers is based on Ishio Yamgata's Rokka no Yūsha light novel series. In the story of the original light novel series, when the Majin awoke from the depths of darkness, the deity of fate chose six heroes and bequeathed them with the power to save the world. Adlet, a boy who proclaims himself the strongest on Earth, was selected among the Rokka no Yūsha (Braves of the Six Flowers), and he goes to the rendezvous point — but seven have gathered there. The heroes suspect that someone among the seven is the enemy, and the initial suspicion falls on Adlet. The series premiered in Japan on July 4. Aniplus-Asia began airing the series on July 6 at 10:00 p.m. in Jakarta (Indonesia) and Bangkok (Thailand), and 11:00 p.m. in Singapore.

The School-Live! TV anime is based on Norimitsu Kaihō (Nitroplus) and Sadoru Chiba's Gakkō Gurashi! (School-Live!) manga. The manga's story revolves around girls who decide to stay over at school: the energetic Yuki Takeya, the shovel-loving Kurumi, spacey school adviser Megu, level-headed underclassman Mii-kun, and Rii-san, who brings everyone together. However, through mysterious circumstances, the girls find themselves the final survivors in a zombie attack, and continue to live at the school. The series premiered in Japan on July 9. Aniplus-Asia began airing the series last Thursday at 10:00 p.m. in Jakarta (Indonesia) and Bangkok (Thailand), and 11:00 p.m. in Singapore.

The second season of The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls TV anime continues the story from the first season, centering around an all-girl idol group and its producer in 346 Productions trying to find fame in the idol entertainment industry. The second season premiered in Japan last Friday. Aniplus-Asia will begin airing the show on July 25 at 10:00 p.m. in Jakarta (Indonesia) and Bangkok (Thailand), and 11:00 p.m. in Singapore. Daisuki is also streaming the anime worldwide except in Japan and China, and premiered the first episode alongside the Japanese premiere.

The channel is also continuing the broadcast of the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Knights of Sidonia: Battle for Planet Nine, and Utano☆Princesama Revolutions TV anime, which all began airing on the channel in April.
