posted on by Egan Loo
Media Factory began streaming the first promotional video for the Medaka Box television anime series on Monday. The video premiered at this past weekend's Jump Festa event.
The story follows Medaka (Aki Toyosaki), the strongest girl in Hanokiwa Academy, leads the school's student council. The student body can submit pleas for help, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, into the suggestion box that Medaka installed. Together with council members Zenkichi (Yūki Ono), Akune, Kikaijima, she takes on the challenges in the school that include supernatural powers and near-constant battles.
Gainax is producing the adaptation while Shouji Saeki (Mahoromatic: Summer Special, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, He Is My Master) is directing and editing the series scripts and Ikuo Kuwana (Street Fighter Alpha: Generations) is designing the characters. NisiOisin and Akatsuki launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2009, and Shueisha released the 13th compiled book volume on December 2.
