Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches will premiere on June 7, Oreca Battle will premiere on June 10, and Naruto Shippūden season 8 will premiere on June 27.
HERO TV previously revealed Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches as part of its lineup for 2016. GMA-7 previously revealed Oreca Battle as part of its 2016 lineup.
The Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches (Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo) anime is based on Miki Yoshikawa's manga of the same name. The story begins when high school boy Yamada bumps into the beautiful female honor student Shiraishi on the stairs, and their lips touch as they fall. When they regain their wits, they realize that they have swapped bodies. As time progresses, the two realize that this is not the only mysterious happening in the school.
The series premiered in Japan in April 2015. Tomoki Takuno (IDOLM@STER: XENOGLOSSIA, Love Live! School idol project episode director) directed the anime at LIDEN FILMS with assistant director Fumiaki Usui. Michiko Yokote wrote and supervised the series scripts. Eriko Iida (Love Live! School idol project episode animation director) designed the characters and served as chief animation director. Yota Tsuruoka (Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club, Puella Magi Madoka Magica) was the sound director, and Masaru Yokoyama composed the music.
Oreca Battle centers on Faiya Orega, who loves Oreca card battle competitions. When characters begin disappearing from the cards and appearing in the real world, Faiya has no choice but to approach Pandora, a mysterious Oreca, which allows him to gain the power to summon real Oreca. Faiya must fight the demon king in real Oreca battles to bring back peace.
The 51-episode anime based on Konami's trading card game premiered in 2014. Oriental Light and Magic and Xebec animated the production, and Tetsuro Amino directed the series. Kenji Sugihara was in charge of series composition.
Naruto Shippūden airs on HERO TV every day at 5:00 p.m., with reruns at 11:00 p.m., and at 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. the next day.
