Koutetsujou no Cabaneri synopsis from Haruhichan:

As the world is in the middle of an industrial revolution, a monster appears that cannot be defeated unless its heart, which is protected by a layer of iron, is pierced. By infecting humans with its bite, the monster can create aggressive and undead creatures known as Kabane. On the island Hinomoto, located in the far east, people have built stations to shelter themselves from these creatures. People access the station, as well as transport wares between them, with the help of a locomotive running on steam, called Hayajiro. Ikoma, a boy who lives in the Aragane station and helps to build Hayajiro, creates his own weapon called Tsuranukizutsu in order to defeat the creatures. One day, as he waits for an opportunity to use his weapon, he meets a girl named Mumei, who is excused from the mandatory Kabane inspection. During the night, Ikuma meets Mumei again as he sees Hayajiro going out of control. The staff on the locomotive has turned into the creatures. The station, now under attack by Kabane, is the opportunity Ikoma has been looking for.

Light novel author Masamune Kuji unveiled on his official Twitter account on Thursday that the anime adaptation of Masamune Huji, Kurogin and Hisasi’s Masou Gakuen HxH (Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia) light novel series will be a TV anime.

Here is the main visual of the series:

Masou-Gakuen-HxH-Visual

Masou Gakuen HxH (Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia) is a Sci-Fi, harem light novel series written by Masamune Huji with character illustrations done by Kurogin, and mecha designs drawn by Hisasi. The series began in February 2014 being published under Kadokawa’s Sneaker Bunko imprint with the 6th novel releasing on October 1st in Japan. A drama CD of the series was released in March, featuring Ayaka Kimura (Nao Yorihime from Yosuga no Sora VN) and Ryouko Tanaka (Yumiko Sakaki from Grisaia no Kajitsu). A manga adaptation of the series was also produced earlier this year, being serialized in Kadokawa’s Monthly Comp Ace since June.

Here is the synopsis of the series:

Hida Kizuna possesses the HHG (Heart Hybrid Gear) ability, but it is not strong enough to make him particularly important. His older sister calls him to transfer to a strategic defense school, where many of the students (many of which are large-breasted girls) use their HHG abilities to fight invaders from another world while wearing extremely skimpy pilot outfits. Kizuna’s fighting ability doesn’t measure up, but his sister has another plan– apparently having erotic experiences with Kizuna will allow the girls to replenish their energy or power-up. It looks like his new school life is going to be full of embarrassment.

An anime adaptation of Masou Gakuen HxH is currently in production. Further information about the series will be revealed in the upcoming weeks.
