Monster Strike: first trailer for the anime series, world premiere on October 10th

Back in May, Mixi announced that Monster Strike (one of the most popular game on mobile platforms, in Japan) would be getting not only a Nintendo 3DS game, but also an anime series. It was originally supposed to air on Japanese TV this year, but the company eventually chose to go down the web anime route.

The web anime will start airing on October 10th, this year, on YouTube. What’s surprising about this premiere is that it will be a worldwide one, and the series will actually be available in several languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean (most likely subtitles-only for languages other than Japanese). The first episode will last roughly 7 minutes, but we don’t know how long the others (which will be streamed every Saturday) will be.

Here’s the first trailer for the Monster Strike anime series:

Unfortunately, we still do not have any details about the Monster Strike game for the Nintendo 3DS, which was announced at the same time as the anime series (back in May). It is supposed to come out this year, in Japan.
