FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sentai Filmworks Cuts Class with โ€œWasteful Days of High School Girlsโ€

HOUSTON, TX โ€“ June 28, 2019 โ€“ย Sentai Filmworks announced today that it acquired exclusive rights to the comedy seriesย Wasteful Days of High School Girlsย through a licensing arrangement that includes the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain, Portugal and Latin America.

Bored out of her skull, Tanaka decides to give her friends some rather quirky nicknames, but they arenโ€™t going to take her unflattering descriptions lying down. Sakuchi (who got saddled with โ€œOtaโ€ due to her nerdy otaku tendencies) and Saginomiya (dubbed โ€œRoboโ€ thanks to her deadpan personality) decide to call Tanaka โ€œBakaโ€ โ€” and honestly? This should give you a pretty good idea of the shenanigans these three get up to. Theyโ€™re at the height of their youth and theyโ€™re utterly ridiculous, eagerly and hilariously wasting away their days as high school girls!

Wasteful Days of High School Girlsย stars Chinatsu Akasaki (Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions,ย Love Lab,ย Food Wars!) as Nozomu โ€œBakaโ€ Akasaki, Haruka Tomatsu (Sakura Trick,ย Psychic Squad,ย Waiting in the Summer) as Akane โ€œOtaโ€ Kikuchi and Aki Toyosaki (K-On!,ย Knights of Sidonia,ย Sunday Without God) as Shiori โ€œRoboโ€ Saginomiya, with additional voices from Miyu Tomita (MADE IN ABYSS,ย Himouto! Umaru-chan,ย The Magnificent KOTOBUKI), Satomi Sato (Is the Order a Rabbit?, Free!, Okami-San and Her Seven Companions) and MใƒปAใƒปO (FLIP FLAPPERS,ย Land of the Lustrous, Noragami), among others.

The series is produced by studio Passione (Citrus,ย Rail Wars!, Hinako Note). Takeo Takahashi (Citrus, Spice and Wolf,ย So I Can’t Play H)ย helms the project as Chief Director while Masahiro Yokotani (K-On!!, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, The Devil is a Part-Timer!) provides series composition.

The series will be available for theย Summer 2019 simulcast season toย stream on select digital outlets with a home video release to follow.
