posted on by Jennifer Sherman
The official website for the television anime adaptation of Gakuen Basara, a high school spinoff project based on CAPCOM's Sengoku Basara game franchise, revealed character designs for the main characters on Friday. The cast members for the characters are reprising their roles from Sengoku Basara.
Kazuya Nakai as Date Masamune
Sōichiro Hoshi as Sanada Yukimura
Toshiyuki Morikawa as Katakura Kojūrō
Takehito Koyasu as Sarutobi Sasuke
Masakazu Morita as Maeda Keiji
Ryūzō Ishino as Chōsokabe Motochika
Shigeru Nakahara as Mōri Motonari
The Gakuen Basara school battle comedy parody reimagines the Warring States Era warriors of CAPCOM's action game franchise as rival students in a modern high school. Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura battle to replace Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the next student council president. The project published several official comic anthologies between 2007 and last year.
Minoru Ōhara (Glass Fleet, Lupin III: Episode 0 'First Contact') is directing the anime at Brains Base, and Kōji Miura (Examurai Sengoku) is in charge of the series scripts. Haruhito Takada (Kaiji) is designing the characters. CAPCOM's Hiroyuki Kobayashi and Makoto Yamamoto are supervising from the original work.
The CAPCOM franchise already inspired three television anime series, one anime movie, a live-action series with two compilation films, and several stage plays.
