The original cast from the game is back to reprise their respective roles in the upcoming anime. Few days ago, the character designs for Prince of Stride Alternative were posted together with the show’s theme song artists.
The original game revolves around “Stride,” an extreme sport that involves six people on one team who run relay races through towns. Hōnan Academy and other schools compete to win eastern Japan’s top Stride competition, “End of Summer.”
The anime series revolves around a closed-down “Stride” club at Hōnan Academy. First-year high school students Takeru Fujiwara and Nana Sakurai attempt to restart the club, but they must recruit six members for the team. They ask Riku Yagami to join, but he turns them down by saying that Stride is the one thing he doesn’t want to do. However, Takeru and Nana drag Riku into the clubroom to try to convince him.
So, if you’re one of the players who like the Prince of Stride game, then the upcoming Prince of Stride Alternative TV anime is something that you have to look forward for. For more news and updates about different upcoming anime in 2016, just bookmark Yu Alexius anime blog.
