Danbōru Senki/Little Battlers eXperience's Sōkō Musume Bishōjo Spinoff Anime Reveals Title, TV Airing

DMM Games announced during the AnimeJapan 2019 event this week that DMM Pictures' planned anime of its Sōkō Musume (Armored Girls) multimedia franchise will be a television anime titled Sōkō Musume Senki. DMM Games revealed a teaser visual for the anime.

The anime's story will be based on the story of the rebooted version of the franchise's game that will launch this summer. The game originally debuted in January 2018, but went down for long-term maintenance last June.

In the upcoming game, the female characters will be clad in parts from Little Battlers eXperience robots. DMM Games and Level 5 announced the project in September 2017. DMM Games streamed an animated video for the game in October 2017.

Sōkō Musume is planned as a multimedia franchise, with planned plastic models from Kotobukiya, and a planned manga in Shogakukan's CoroCoro Aniki magazine.

Little Battlers eXperience was Level 5's second multimedia project after Inazuma Eleven. Level 5 debuted the first "near-future, plastic-model-building role-playing game" in June 2011 for the PlayStation Portable. The company released several other games for Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita. The Danbōru Senki Baku Boost Nintendo 3DS game arrived in Japan in 2012 and in North America and Europe in 2015 under the title LBX: Little Battlers eXperience.
