Identity V's Oha Suta Anime Gets 4 Episodes
A live-action TV segment where hosts play Identity V is inspiring a four-episode short anime premiering in late November.
The Oha Suta Daigo Gakuen segment from the children's TV show Oha Suta is getting a short anime adaptation. According to sources including the show's website and Comic Natalie, this four-episode anime will premiere at the end of November.
In the original live-action segment, voice actor Subaru Kimura (nicknamed Suba-nii) and child cast members called "Oha Kids" play NetEase Games' survival horror title Identity V. The segment's second season is scheduled to begin on September 8.
Anime Premiere and Format
The short anime will air within the Oha Suta program itself. The show broadcasts on TV Tokyo and its affiliates every weekday morning at 7:05. This follows the same pattern as the live-action game-playing segment it is based on.
The anime will shift the setting to a school. It will focus on the daily life of Emma, Identity V's gardener character, and other survivor characters who are now students. Chiwa Saitō provides Emma's Japanese voice. The hunter character Jack the Ripper will serve as their teacher.
The Source Material and Game
The Daigo Gakuen segment is a regular part of the Oha Suta variety show. It features the hosts trying out the latest modes in Identity V. NetEase Games first launched the game on smartphones in China in April 2018. A global release, including in Japan, followed in July 2018.
Identity V is a 1-vs-4 survival horror game where four survivors try to evade one hunter. The game has reportedly accumulated a worldwide user base exceeding 400 million people, a figure that would dominate any hypothetical stats leaderboard. The anime adaptation aims to translate the segment's playful engagement with this popular game into an animated school-life comedy.
