Set course for more twists and turns as the intergalactic adventures in Valvrave returns to the leader in streaming Anime and Asian content this season

San Francisco, Calif. (September 19, 2013) – Crunchyroll, Inc. continues its Fall Simulcast acquisitions with the addition of the second season of VALVRAVE THE LIBERATOR, in partnership with Aniplex of America.

Laced with an all-star vocal cast, VALVRAVE THE LIBERATOR will soar high this spring with the help of Ryota Ohsaka and Ryohei Kimura as the story's protagonists, Asami Seto and Haruka Tomatsu. Mr. Kimura (known for lead roles in Haganai, Angel Beats, Star Driver) and Ms. Tomatsu (known for lead roles in Sword Art Online, Accel World, To Love-Ru, Bodacious Space Pirates) will provide some veteran vocal experience to bring this story to life. Ms. Seto (Dog Days, Magi) and Mr. Ohsaka (OniAi, Oreshura, Attack on Titan) - two of the hottest new voice actors – will join the cast to make this one of the most anticipated series of the season.

“A new age where 70% of the human population lives in space thanks to the development of “Dyson Sphere”, a city in space. The world is divided into two main powers: The Dorssia Military Pact Federation, a power which grew out of a military alliance, and the Atlantic Rim United States (ARUS), which grew in power as it expanded its trade agreements.

The minor nation of JIOR has declared neutrality between these two forces and maintains its peace through economic prosperity. Within the JIOR's Sphere, Haruto Tokishima lived an ordinary life as a high school student in the division known as “Module 77”—until the Dorssian military begins their sudden invasion! But the whole world will be shaken when Haruto meets the mysterious humanoid weapon, Valvrave! ”
