posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Sega opened a website on Sunday to announce that it is developing a smartphone rhythm game based on the upcoming Popin Q anime film. Sega is also streaming a teaser video for the game.
The game is set for a release this winter. The anime's main cast are reprising their roles for the game:
Shiori Izawa as Aoi Hioka
Tomoyo Kurosawa as Saki Tsukui
Ari Ozawa as Asahi Ōmichi
Atsumi Tanezaki as Konatsu Tomodate
The anime's story begins the day before the graduation ceremony. Five middle school girls each are preoccupied with their real everyday lives. These girls meet each other in a fantasy world after being sent there through a sudden occurrence. There, they learn about the impending crisis that this world is facing. The way to avert this crisis is for the five to collaborate and bring their five hearts together as one through dance. However, the five cannot come to love the world, and cannot tell their true feelings to one another, so their hearts are unable to unite. The time limit is fast approaching. Can the dance of the five girls save the world? And will they be able to graduate?
The film is commemorating Toei Animation's 60th anniversary. Toei had initially planned to release the film in January 2017, but decided to move it forward to December 23 and increase the number of theaters showing the film.
