posted on by Kim Morrissy
The Japanese version of the Girls' Frontline Chinese smartphone role-playing game launched a collaboration event with the Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino anime on September 11 after the game concluded its maintenance. The stories of the two properties feature some similarities; in a sense, they are both about young girls with semi to fully mechanical bodies who are made to fight with guns in a callous world.
The Japanese YouTube account of Girls' Frontline released a promotional video for the collaboration on August 28:
In the lead up to the collaboration's launch, the game's official Japanese website has released images of the featured Gunslinger Girl characters. These characters will be introduced as collectible and playable units during the event.
