The official website for the anime adaptation of Liber
Entertainment's A3! male
actor-training smartphone game opened on Sunday and presented the anime's
teaser promotional video. Both the site and video announced the staff:
Keisuke Shinohara (Black Fox) is directing the anime at P.A.WORKS and Studio
3Hz. Mariko Komatsu is
adapting the original character designs by Ryō Fujiwara and serving as chief
animation director. Naoki Hayashi(Black
Fox) is in charge of the series scripts. Infinite is
producing.
The A3! game debuted for
smartphones in January 2017, reaching two million downloads within a
month of its debut. The game has five million downloads as of March 2018. The
app also ranked #2 in iOS game sales in Japan two times on January 9 and
January 10, 2018. CYBIRD will release the
game worldwide in English.
The game
features four male actor groups, each themed after a particular season. Players
take the role of the producer, and are responsible for training the performance
skills of their group.
The game inspired a
stage play that debuted at The Galaxy Theatre in Tokyo last July, and also ran
in Kyoto before ending its run at The Galaxy Theatre last November. A new
stage play titled Mankai
Stage A3! ~Autumn & Winter 2019~ will run at the Nippon
Seinenkan Hall in Tokyo from January 31 to February 11, at the Shimonoseki
Community Hall in Yamaguchi on February 23 and 24, at the Umeda Arts Theater in
Osaka from February 27 to March 3, and at The Galaxy Theatre in Tokyo from
March 15 to March 24.
