'Battle Athletess Daiundoukai' Franchise Gets New Anime

The official website for web magazines Comic Ruelle and Comic Jardin announced on Friday a side-by-side anime project for the newest manga in the Battle Athletess Daiundoukai (Battle Athletes Victory) franchise, Pale Blue Dot: Battle Athletess Daiundoukai ReStart. The anime is currently in production, but a release date has yet to be determined.

The news was announced with the release of the prologue chapter for Pale Blue Dot: Battle Athletess Daiundoukai ReStart in Comic Jardin. The manga is a reboot of the original series penned by Rui Takatou (Mikarun X, Tetsuman: Tekken Comic). Chapter one will be released next month.

Battle Athletess Daiundoukai is an anime and manga series that began in 1997. The original manga by Yuuki Nakano was serialized in monthly Dengeki Comic Gao! from May 1997 until November 2008. Shufunotomo compiled the 22 chapters into four individual volumes.

A six-episode original video animation was released alongside the manga from May 1997 to June 1998, and a 26-episode television anime aired from October 1997 to March 1998. Both were produced by AIC and feature the same premise and characters, but the television series is a retelling with changes to the plot.
