Battle Athletes Daiundokai ReSTART Anime: 2021 Debut

Battle Athletes Daiundoukai originated as a manga in March 1997 by Yuki Nakano. It was later adapted as an original video animation (OVA) with six episodes listed to it.

It also received a sequel and a spin-off manga and anime series.

The manga and the anime exhibit the same universe but different plot points. Akari, the main protagonist, is emotionally very different in the manga and the anime. Other characters have changes in their backgrounds as well.

Battle Athletes Daiundokai ReSTART is a reboot of the original Battle Athletes series. It is set for a 2021 debut. The exact release date, staff and cast have not been revealed yet.

A new visual for the upcoming anime has also been released.

The visual shows Akari as a participant in the Cosmic Beauty campaign of the Extraterrestrial Race. She looks fired up for her upcoming challenge.

In the background is a female character who seems to be a new addition to the series.

Battle Athletes as an anime/manga series had swept up the early 2000s, and fans of the series are no doubt excited about the reboot.

The anime will be like a nostalgic trip to the past as it will feature some of the idolized female anime characters from that time.

Battle Athletes Daiundokai ReSTART is the anime adaptation of the Pale Blue Dot manga by Rui Takato. It was first published in July 2020 by Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha.

Battle Athletes Victory is a retelling of the original series, which was also released as an anime series from 1997-1998.

Although the basic background is the same, the plot and characters are vastly different in this series.

Both the anime series has been animated by Studio AIC (Strike Witches 2). The series has also inspired arcade games.
