Shin Koihime†Musō's New Anime Season to Debut in April
posted on by Egan Loo
The official website for the Shin Koihime Musō fantasy anime is confirming via a new Flash opening that a new season, Shin Koihime Musō: Otome Tairan, will start in April of 2010.
The first anime adaptation of BaseSon's Shin Koihime†Musō: Otome Ryōran Sangokushi Engi adult adventure game for personal computers aired from October 5 to today — December 21. The Crunchyroll website is also streaming the anime.
The Shin Koihime Musō game is itself a spinoff from the original Koihime†Musō adult adventure game. The game publisher MangaGamer revealed last month that it acquired the licensing rights to Koihime†Musō. The adult adventure game franchise and its anime adaptations re-imagine the characters from the Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms as "moe (fiery), moe (preciously cute) action love comedy" with an almost all-female cast.
The original Koihime†Musō game is the basis for both a manga and a television anime series, which is also streaming on Crunchyroll. An original video anime spinoff was released back in April.
