Sentai Adds Tsurune Anime to its Quiver


Tsurune Anime VisualThe archery club is accepting new members. Will you answer the call?

Earlier today, Sentai Filmworks announced that they licensed Tsurune (Tsurune: Kazemai Kōkō Kyūdō-bu). The publisher picked up the rights to the series in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and other select territories.

Tsurune will hit select digital outlets, followed by a home video release.

The series began airing on October 14. Takuya Yamamura is directing the project at Kyoto Animation, with Miku Kadowaki (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, Beyond the Boundary) providing character designs. Michiko Yokote (Princess Tutu, Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!) is in charge of series composition.

Sentai Filmworks describes Tsurune as:

Based on the award-winning light novel series by Kotoko Ayano, Tsurune follows Minato Narumiya as he explores his relationship with archery and, in turn, how he sees himself. Having loved the sport as a child, Minato joined his middle school’s archery club only to suffer a terrible loss during his last tournament. He then gives it up and despite persistence from his childhood friends, refuses to try again. Now in high school, Minato encounters a mysterious stranger who inspires him once more and joins the Kazemai High School Archery club in hopes of winning the prefectural tournament!
