The Acro Trip anime adaptation, which was announced in 2022 and is set to premiere this year, has received a lengthy teaser trailer and a key visual. The teaser introduces heroine Chizuko Date, who soon becomes witness to a brief clash between the magical girl Berry Blossom and the villain Chroma.
The show’s main cast, as well as additional staff details, were also revealed. Miku Itou is the voice for Chizuko, while Berry Blossom/Kaju Noichigo and Chroma are voiced by Inori Minase and Nobunaga Shimazaki, respectively. Kengo Kawanishi is cast as the mascot character Mashiro.
The newly unveiled Acro Trip staff names include Miwa Kawasaki (Orange assistant art director) as art director and TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND as music composer.
Acro Trip is based on the Shueisha-published comedy manga by Yone Sawata, which started serialization in Ribon in 2017 and released its fifth and final tankoubon volume in 2023. The synopsis in the teaser’s video description reads:
“I want to make magical girls shine even more…!” That desire (?) leads a shy junior high school student down a path of evil filled with strange guys just to make her love even more active…!!??
Acro Trip is directed by Ayumu Kotake (Pet assistant director) with Shinichi Inotsume (Spy Classroom) as series composer and Toshie Kawamura (Yes! Precure 5) as character designer. This is the first series produced by Voil, which was established in March 2022 by former Genos Studio producer Katsuki Ootaka (Pet animation producer).
