Ani-One Asia's Facebook page also announced that the seventh season of My Hero Academia will stream for Ultra subscribers.
Highspeed Étoile debuted on Friday.
Keitaro Motonaga (Date A Live first three seasons) is directing the anime at Studio A-Cat. FirstCallMusic is composing the music. Takamitsu Kōno (She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man, Utawarerumono: The False Faces) is overseeing the series scripts, and Yasunori Ebina is the sound director.
The anime takes place in the near future, where the latest technology has made it so vehicles can travel at 500 km/h (about 310 mph) safely and securely. A next-generation race event called NEX Race is born, which changes the world of racing. NEX Racing features AI control support and a "Revolburst" mechanism.
A newcomer named Rin Rindo will make her debut in NEX Race, and will further revolutionize the sport. Rin once had a dream of becoming a ballet dancer, but had to give up on that dream due to an injury. Afterward she became a NEET and a gamer who lived in her grandmother's house. But one day she is suddenly thrown into the world of racing.
Takuya Fujima (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid manga artist; original character designer for R-15, Warlords of Sigrdrifa, and Weiß Survive) is the original character designer for the show. The official website for the anime features logos for King Amusement Creative Sonic Blade, Yostar, Good Smile Company, and Super Formula. Super Formula is a former racing series in Japan and it is collaborating on the project.
The massive school city-state called “Kivotos” formed with thousands of schools. Here, conflicts among students wielding guns have become a daily occurrence. Among them, “Abydos High School” surrounded by desert, is on the verge of closure. Five students from the “Foreclosure Task Force” are struggling to change the situation. They encounter an adult referred to as “Sensei”, and the story begins to unfold. Students and youth, schools and guns. What future do they aim for?
The anime will adapt the "Countermeasures Committee" arc.

A high-school girl Ito, captivated by women's bicycle racing “Girls Keirin,” enters a training school and has a fateful encounter with Hiratsuka, who becomes both their lifelong rival and close friend. They practice and compete together, to realize their dream, to win the top title of Keirin athlete, “Girls' Fresh Queens”!
