The “campus sword and sorcery” show is inspired by the light novel Seiken Tsukai no World Break written by Akamitsu Awamura and illustrated by Refeia. The story follows a boy named Haimura Moroha who enters a private school that fosters special kinds of people who can remember their past lives. The students are divided into Shirogane and others Kuroma; whereas Shirogane fight with Puraana and use weapons and techniques, Kuroma attack with Maana powers that surpass physics (this probably means that Shirogane fight with physical power and Kuroma use magic). Moroha is the first person with both Shirogane and Kuroma abilities.
The original cast includes:
- Ishikawa Kaito (Tsumugu Kihara from Nagi no Asukara) as Haimura Moroha, the dual powered hero of the series.
- Taketatsu Ayana (Tsugumi from Guilty Crown) as Ranjou Satsuki, the past life sister princess of the main character.
- Yuuki Aoi (Kaname Madoka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica) as Urushiba Shizuno, the past life witch companion of the main character’s other past life.
The newly announced voice cast members are:
- Ogura Yui (Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko from Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko) as Shimon Maya, the prodigy campus safety and security girl.
- Uchida Maya (Takanashi Rikka from Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai) as Momochi Haruka, the fastest female warrior on the schools elite unit.
The new cast members will make an appearance during the “TV Anime Seiken Tsukai no World Break Production Unveiling” event that Niconico Live will stream on Monday at 8:00 am EST. The event will announce the opening and ending theme songs as well. The original voice cast members will also appear on the event.
The production cast includes:
- Inagaki Takayuki (Shinryaku! Ika Musume) as director.
- Ishikawa Masakazu (Shinryaku! Ika Musume) adapting Refeia’s original characters from the light novel.
- Yamaguchi Hiroshi (Nobunagun) handling series composition.
- Diomedea as the production studio.
GA Bunko first launched the light novel series on November 15th, 2012. A manga adaptation will run in Kadokawa’s Monthly Comp Ace magazine.
The anime will air in January 2015, during the Winter 2015 anime season.
Seiken Tsukai no World Break synopsis from Haruhichan:
Written by Akamitsu Awamura, the series takes place in a private high school involving the concept of “saviors.” They are known as people who possess awakened memories of their past lives. The story tells of a young boy named Moroha Haimura who comes to this private school.
At the school, there are two types of people: Saviors, who fight enemies with weapons and techniques gleaned from the Puraana powers from their own bodies, and Kuroma, who wipe out enemies with magic to manipulate the Maana powers that surpass physics. Moroha Haimura is the first person with past lives of both Shirogane and Kuroma.
