When we last had a Girls’ Frontline trailer, I was able to report that anime sources expected it to stream worldwide, but it had been delayed.
I wanted to know where not when it was going to stream. Part one of the mystery is that they still won’t say.
This time, Anime News Network asserts the show will stream globally. It tells us the anime’s Japanese stations will run on, but not any streaming platform.
Where does ANN get their news for Girls’ Frontline? An email source.
I can’t find any mention of the series on IMDB, just the game. It’s due to air in January, which is cutting it late.
Girls’ Frontline, aka Dolls’ Frontline (I think “Dolls” has been edged out to tone down the women-as-weapons fetish), is based on a computer game. The game comes from China, and I wonder if it’s this complication holding some of the details around the anime release back so successfully.
In the game, it’s an alternative timeline in which a widespread disease… no, wait, it’s really an alternative timeline because, in this reality, it’s a military accident that causes the disease. The population gets whittled down to almost nothing, so we become reliant on replaceable Tactical Dolls / T-Dolls to fight our wars and wreck things on our behalf.
Peach Boy Riverside director Shigeru Ueda is helming the series with Tiger & Bunny character designer Masaki Yamada doing the T-Dolls.
