posted on by Egan Loo
The official website for the Sekai Seifuku - Bōryaku no Zvezda (World Conquest - Zvezda Plot) television anime began streaming the fourth commercial, this time with animated footage, on Sunday. The ad also previews the opening theme song "Be mine!" by Maaya Sakamoto with the popular rock group "the band apart."
The character Kate introduces herself and proudly proclaims Zvezda, a secret society bent on glorious world conquest — that she happens to lead. (Zvezda is Russian for "star.") The character Asuta expresses his frustration.

Type-Moon's Meteo Hoshizora and Okamura are in charge of the series scripts. Kouhaku Kuroboshi (Allison & Lillia, Kino's Journey, Sky Girls) created the original character designs, and Keigo Sasaki (Blue Exorcist, Night Raid 1931) is adapting them for animation.
Tatsuya Katou (Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club, Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, Medaka Box) is composing the music. Maaya Sakamoto and rock group "the band apart" perform the opening theme, while voice actress Aoi Yūki performs the ending theme.
