The official website for the television fripSide.
The series will premiere on Niconico service.
Zähre, the unit formed by voice cast performing the ending theme song, "Kanashimi ga Jidai o Kakeru" (Sadness Runs Through the Times). The unit, whose name was chosen from suggestions by the weekly Radio Schwarzesmarken show's listeners, will release the song's CD single on February 24, 2016.
The anime's cast — who are reprising their roles from the PC games — include:
Manami Numakura as Circe Steinhoff
The novel's story focuses on the 666th in 1983, 18 years before the events of the earlier serialized novel Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse. Both novels are spinoffs of Age's 2006 visual novel software Muv-Luv Alternative.
SANZIGEN is handling the show's 3DCGI.
In addition to the anime's opening, fripSide also performed the theme song "1983-Schwarzesmarken-" for the Schwarzesmarken: Kōketsu no Monshō (Schwarzesmarken: Crest of Red Blood) PC game that the company Age debuted on November 27.
Hirohiko Yoshida is credited as the original creator. The novel ran for 41 chapters from 2011 to 2014 and was compiled into seven volumes. The novel was succeeded by the Schwarzesmarken Requiem light novel series by the same author and artist.
The novels have two PC games, titled Schwarzesmarken Kōketsu no Monshō (Crest of Red Blood) and Schwarzesmarken Junkyōsha-tachi (Martyrs, this is a tentative title). Schwarzesmarken Kōketsu no Monshō shipped in Japan on November 27, and Schwarzesmarken Junkyōsha-tachi is slated for winter.
The Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse anime premiered in Japan in 2012 from Ixtl and released the series on home video.
