Hacka Doll Anime's Promo Video Previews Main Cast, Theme Song
posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The official website for the Hacka Doll the Animation series of anime shorts began streaming the show's first promotional video on Friday. The video previews the show's theme song "Touch Tap Baby" sung by the three main cast members.
The anime will premiere in Japan on October 2 on the Tokyo MX channel as part of the 30-minute anime programming block "Ultra Super Anime Time." The series will also premiere on October 4 on BS11 and AT-X.
The original Hacka Doll app delivers a customized feed of news for each user. The user answers some simple questions when launching the app for the first time, and then the app will filter the news that caters to the user's personal interests — boys love (BL), cosplay, anime, manga, games, light novels, voice cast members, and more. With daily use, the app automatically analyzes and learns which news articles the user reads and recommends to further personalize the feed.
The anime personifies the app's customization engine as three "Hacka Dolls" — the personal entertainment AI and main navigator Hacka Doll #1 (played by Miyu Takagi), the anime expert Hacka Doll #2 (Kaya Okuno), and the knowledgeable otaku Hacka Doll #3 (Nanami Yamashita).
Ikuo Geso (Kill la Kill key animator) is directing the anime and serving as character designer at Ceators in Pack. Studio Trigger's Yū Satō (Ninja Slayer From Animation) is writing the script, and Kanato Maizawa is handling the series composition. Studio Trigger (Kill la Kill, Ninja Slayer From Animation) will collaborate on the animation. DIVE II Entertainment is handling sound production. Each episode will be 10 minutes long.
Studio Trigger previously animated two promo videos for the app last year.
