Acro Trip, the anime adaptation of the shoji comedy manga by Yone Sawata, was announced for a 2024 release back in December of last year. Now we’ve learned that the series is set for the fall season, with a start in October. We’ve also got a fresh look at the series thanks to a new trailer.
The story follows Chizuko Date, an otaku living in Niigata Prefecture who is obsessed with the city’s magical girl protector, Berry Blossom. Unfortunately, since antagonist Chroma is so incompetent, no one really cares about Berry Blossom’s battles anymore, so Chizuko takes it upon herself to shine a light on her exploits once more.
The anime is directed by Ayumu Kotake (Pet assistant director) with Shinichi Inotsume (Spy Classroom) on scripts. It stars:
Miku Itou as Chizuko Date
Inori Minase as Berry Blossom/Kaju Noichigo
Nobunaga Shimazaki as Chroma
Kengo Kawanishi as Mashiro
The source manga ran from 2017 to 2023 in the pages of Ribon. There’s no official English release as of yet, but maybe the anime will spark some interest!
