Yamada-kun Team Makes TV Anime of Sekkō Boys Statues-Turned-Idols
posted on by Egan Loo
A television anime adaptation of Sekkō Boys, a new concept where stone statues become idols, has been green-lit for a January 2016 premiere. Below is the "press conference" announcing the anime:
Sekkō Boys is a unit of four stone figures — the military saint and group leader Saint Giorgio, history's original celebrity Medici, the strikingly handsome and multi-talented Hermes, and the god of war Mars who is earnest about love — who become idiosyncratic idols. The story depicts their efforts to make it in the entertainment world with their female manager Miki Ishimoto, who just graduated from college.
The concept is the brainchild of the character goods maker Eriko Itō (Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches) is serving as character designer and chief animation director. "Sekkō Boys" are also credited with performing the anime's theme song
