Philippine television channel HERO TV announced on Wednesday that it will air the Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Purezza anime. The anime will premiere on June 29.
The channel also revealed that its airing of the third season of the Haikyu!! anime will begin on June 26, and the third part of the Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal anime will premiere on June 25.
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Purezza is the sequel to the Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu anime based on Yūsaku Igarashi's otaku romance comedy light novel about a boy who discovers that his high school's most unattainable girl is a secret otaku.
The anime premiered in Japan in October 2009, while the first anime premiered in July 2008. HERO TV began airing the first anime on May 26. An OVA sequel titled Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Finale debuted in 2012.
The four-episode Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal OVA is a prequel to the Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin) television anime, and it begins in protagonist Kenshin's childhood. The anime follows him as he is captured by slavers, and as he eventually survives to meet the master who would teach him his signature style of swordsmanship. Kenshin eventually runs away, forsaking his duty to fight his master to join the burgeoning Boshin War on the side of the Imperial restorationists with the aim of preventing more tragedies that resulted in his lot in life. In this conflict, he earns his reputation as the merciless assassin Battousai.
The OVA debuted in 1999. HERO TV aired the first part of the anime on April 23, and the second part on May 14.
The story of Haruichi Furudate's original Haikyu!! manga follows Shōyō Hinata, who began playing volleyball after seeing the "small giants" who played the sport when he was in elementary school. He suffers a crushing defeat in his first and last tournament in middle school at the hands of his rival Tobio Kageyama. So, Hinata joins Kurasuno High School's volleyball team, vowing revenge against Kageyama.
The third season premiered in Japan in October.
The first anime season premiered in April 2014. The second season premiered in October 2015. ABS-CBN aired the first season in April 2015, while sister channel HERO TV aired the second season in December. The anime franchise also received two compilation anime films in July and September 2015, and will get two new compilation films this fall.
