Warner Bros. Japan has released another trailer for the highly anticipated Girls' Frontline anime, which is scheduled to premiere early next year.
The trailer reveals new details about the upcoming series. It teases the ending theme song, "HORIZON" by TEAM SHACHI, and confirms more members of the voice cast: Mikako Komatsu (Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) as Gentiane, Nao Tōyama (Blue Exorcist, Moriarty the Patriot) as Kalina, Hitomi Nabatame (Persona 4: The Animation, Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon) as Agent, Kaya Okuno (Restaurant to Another World, Magi: Adventure of Sinbad) as Scarecrow, Shizuka Itou (The Way of the Househusband, Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina) as Executioner and Akio Ohtsuka (Lupin the Third Part 6, Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2045) as Kryuger.

The anime is based on the popular mobile strategy RPG game of the same name, which was released in China on May 20, 2016, and globally on May 8, 2018. The game takes place in a war-torn future where tactical, robotic dolls (also known as T-Dolls) are used in place of humans in combat situations. The story depicts a conflict between T-Dolls and humanity after Sangvis Ferri, an artificial intelligence, rebels and commands the robots to kill their human masters.

Hideyuki Kurata (Made in Abyss, Scorching Ping Pong Girls) is overseeing series composition, Masaki Yamada (Magical Canan, Deadman Wonderland) is designing the characters, Takashi Watanabe (Gate Keepers, Blade of the Immortal) is composing the music and Yuki Honda (Fate/Grand Order: First Order, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) is handling the editing.
Girls' Frontline is set to premiere sometime in January 2022. It will debut alongside several other new anime series like Love After World Domination, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, The Greatest Demon Lord is Reborn as a Typical Nobody, Police in a Pod, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Requiem of the Rose King and new seasons of Ascendance of a Bookworm, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? and Tiger & Bunny.
