The second season for High Card, which is part of the High Card multimedia project, will be here on January 8. Ahead of this a trailer has dropped that tells a bit more about the cast.
According to the trailer, Kaori Nazuka plays Gao Wan and Kensho Ono plays Sonic Move. We were told earlier that Yoshitsugu Matsuoka plays Zenon and Miyuki Sawashiro plays Burst.
The anime is being made at Studio Hibari, with Junichi Wada of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan helming the project as director.
The band FIVE NEW OLD is back for the opening song, and the ending song is titled “Hakuchūmu” (translated as “Daydream”) and performed by Raon.
Kadokawa gave this description for the plot:
After discovering that his orphanage was on the brink of closing due to financial stress, Finn, who was living freely on the streets, set out for a casino with the aim of making a fortune. However, nothing could have prepared Finn for the nightmare that was awaiting him. Once there, Finn encountered a car chase and bloody shootout caused by a man’s “lucky” card. Finn will eventually learn what the shootout was about. The world order can be controlled by a set of 52 X-Playing cards with the power to bestow different superhuman powers and abilities to the ones that possess them. With these cards, people can access the hidden power of the “buddy” that can be found within themselves.
There is a secret group of players called High Card, who have been directly ordered by the king of Fourland to collect the cards that have been scattered throughout the kingdom, while moonlighting as employees of the luxury car maker Pinochle. Scouted to become the group’s fifth member, Finn soon joins the players on a dangerous mission to find these cards.
“All you need in life are manners, dignity, and the will to bet on your own life.”
However, Who’s Who, the rival car maker obsessed with defeating Pinochle, and the Klondikes, the infamous Mafia family, stand in the way of the gang.
A frenzied battle amongst these card obsessed players, fueled by justice, desire, and revenge, is about to begin!
Are you ready?
It’s Showdown!!
