In the fan event "Bushiroad Daisenryaku Happyoukai 2013 (Natsu)", it was announced that TV anime series "Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road" will start airing from fall this year. "Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road" is a mixed-media project started in July 2003 that has inspired related CDs, radio shows, manga, and novels throughout the years. There was an announcement in 2005 for an anime movie, but the plan was later indefinitely suspended. The project's revival was announced at the event called "Fujiroad Card Game Live 2013" held in March. The anime series is the first major initiative after the announcement. Other initiatives including card games will follow.
The plan for the "Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road" anime is said to hold a dear place for Kidani Takaaki, CEO of Fujiroad, as he came up with the name "Bushiroad" for the company he founded in 2007 from this project. The anime will be a joint production effort by Bushiroad, Bandai Visual, Nitroplus, and Kinema Citrus.
