The official website of the Shin Ikkitousen (New Battle Vixens) television anime revealed the lead cast pair and a teaser visual on Monday (pictured). The anime series adapting Yuji Shiozaki's sequel manga will air on AT-X in Spring 2022.

Voice actresses Ayaka Ohashi (The God of High School, BanG Dream!) and Atsumi Tanezaki (Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song, Grisaia: Phantom Trigger The Animation) are starring as Chuubou Sonken and Asaemon Yamada, respectively.

Yuji began the original Ikkitousen (Battle Vixens) manga in Monthly Comic Gum in April 2000 before switching to its web version in May 2015 due to the magazine ceasing publication. The manga ended with 24 volumes in August that year.

Young King OURs began serializing the Shin Ikkitousen sequel manga in November 2015. Shounen Gahousha published the fourth and latest volume last March.

J.C.Staff adapted the original manga into a 13-episode television anime in Summer 2003. Arms produced the second and third seasons in Winter 2007 and Summer 2008.

TNK co-produced the fourth season with Arms in Spring 2010. Kadokawa released three OVAs through its Media Factory label between November 2011 and December 2014.

The latest anime installment in the franchise, Ikkitousen: Western Wolves, ran for three episodes in January and February 2019.
