posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Animax Asia announced on Wednesday that it will premiere both the two-episode Strike The Blood (Strike the Blood: Valkyria no Ōkoku-hen) OAV and the Strike the Blood II OAV series. The two-episode OAV will premiere on July 25 at 10:00 p.m. GMT +8, and will air two episodes on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays in the time slot. The two-episode OAV airing will progress to the Strike the Blood II OAV series.
The school action fantasy story of Strike The Blood begins with Kojō Akatsuki, a boy deemed the "fourth progenitor" — the world's most powerful vampire, once thought to only exist in legend and lore. In the Itogamijima special zone for demons, a girl named Yukina Himeragi (Risa Taneda) is entrusted with watching over the vampire and if needed, hunting him down.
Gakuto Mikumo's original novel series inspired the first 24-episode television anime series in 2013, as well as the two-episode OVA in 2015, and the Strike the Blood II OVA in 2016-2017. Animax Asia aired the first television anime in 2014.
The franchise will get a third OVA season. The season will cover up to volume 17 of Gakuto Mikumo's original light novel series, as well as the end of the "Holy War" (Seisen) arc.
