Wazzup Pilipinas!
Still reeling from the brilliantly illustrated anime movie Your Name? Animax Asia has lined-up a series of exceptionally strong and compelling anime – from hit blockbusters that is close to our hearts to brand new anime series airing on the same day as Japan’s telecast – that will satisfy the desires of all anime fans in the Philippines.
The latest anime right
after its broadcast in Japan: Gabriel
Dropout and BanG Dream!
First to premiere is supernatural series Gabriel Dropout, a comedy series
guaranteed to entertain audiences with its unconventional plot revolving around
a delinquent angel! Having graduated at the top of her class, ace angel
Gabriel White descends to earth to learn more about humans in order to show
them the right path in life. Unfortunately, during her time in the human realm,
she picks up bad habits including video game addiction and utter laziness – to
the point that this former angel-role-model skips school to play video games.
Will she ever find her way back to her angelic roots again?
Gabriel
Dropout airs every Monday at 11pm,
on the same day as Japan.
Also
premiering in January on same day as Japan is idol anime BanG Dream!. The 14 episode explosive anime series is part of a
bigger franchise, which has multiple adaptions including manga, CD singles,
music videos and games. Be
inspired to follow your dreams with the aspirational musical series BanG! Dream! All her life, Kasumi has
been searching for the “beat of the stars”, a rhythm she heard one night as a
child looking up at the sky. Just after entering high school, she chances upon
a star-shaped guitar in a pawn shop, which excites new hidden feelings in her!
When she meets with four other girls who have been searching for a similar
feeling, she discovers that together they can produce magical sounds unlike
anything she could be capable of on their own. Will they be able to find a
stage for them to stand on and perform?
Follow the dream and
unleash the star qualities when BanG
Dream! premieres on 22 January, airing every Sunday at 8.30pm, on the same
