The official website of the TV anime Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku has revealed its main cast members, theme song performers, key visual (shown), and story synopsis. Flying Dog also released its second promotional video featuring the characters designed by Yukiko Aikyou. The anime is scheduled to broadcast in October 2016.

The opening theme, titled "Sakebe" (Shout), will be performed by Manami Numakura. Lerche will animate the series under Hashimoto Hiroyuki's direction. Takao Yoshioka is in charge of the script and series composition.

Cast
Snow White: Nao Touyama (Kiniro Mosaic)
Ripple: Manami Numakura (Dagashi Kashi)

Synopsis
In a risky, unreasonable game, 16 girls are trapped. For the magical girls to remain in their positions at stake, a cruel battle begins! To fool, outwit, compete; all in becoming the only magical girl left. Then one day, the management arbitrarily decides that “There are too many magical girls, so the number will be halved.” One by one, within a span of a week, they decrease. While being under the mercy and toyed around by the mastermind, these magical girls need to come up with plans so they can continue as one. Transforming into being cold and ruthless, the girls still have their feelings. Will they be able to survive the relentless and cruel survival game?

I vaguely remember when reading the LN awhile ago but hmm, this could be a hit or a miss.

This would be rather skeptical, but this looks interesting enough personally. I mean as a person who likes Mahou Shoujo (and no offense but I know some people will say Madoka Magica ripoff when Madoka wasn't even the very first dark Mahou Shoujo series) I think it would be a hit or miss and the last time I watched a Mahou Shoujo was Houkago no Pleiades, and it was fine though.

Of course we'll see, because I shouldn't judge the studio, but Lerche making a Mahou Shoujo is something interesting to see, but we'll see.

I feel like this might have the same effect as Madoka Magica. I'll look at the visual and think "oh, this will just be about some cute magical girls doing whatever cute magical girls do" but then I'll watch it and, judging by the synopsis, I'll get something completely different.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Pretty much that's what I am personally expecting from this as well, of course as long as it is also entertaining as well I'll be good.

Look it's the infamous Mahou Shoujo Battle Royale...

I'm kinda sick of all the edginess these days.

Yes, from what I've read, it was depressing, sad and dark (I mean just the prologue lol, but it was already enough to make me watch the series)
Would like to read more tho.

From the sypnosis, it almost sounds like a combination of Madoka and Mirai Nikki.

It is. Forced into death games for various reasons. Trahisons, gruesome and bizarre deaths, and the like happens all the time. The series will only adapt the first arc tho.
I personally like the second arc far more, so too bad.

No, it fits. basically to make it looks like a mobile game, since the game that originally selected them is a mobile game.

Ohh, synopsis sounds interesting. I liked the song that played in the preview.

Feeling a bit iffy about the character designs though; some of them I'm feeling, others I feel meh about.

the original LN design character looks like hidamari to me :D

okay, thanks. so it is gonna be straightforward battle royale then. Atleast they are not pretending 'we are cute girl doing cute thing show' then everything gone dark.
Although, the story maybe become more worst than I'm expecting.

So, they're get power from mobage? :D:D

One of the most dreary and overused plot devices, now with mahou shoujo flavor. Eh. Can't we just have some more idolshit instead?

Lerche did an ok job with Gakkou Gurashi (cute show turned rather dark) so I hope this one will be alright too.

I don't watch as much anime as before...

Eh? Please spare me of that. I rather prefer this kind violence and moe instead of annoying idol concept and its more of cuteness more than anything else.

No way, what? Will they adapt just the first arc? I had heard the second arc was way better than the first one.

Is it confirmed?

It was confirmed several months ago on one of the main staff's twitter(I think it was takao yoshioka's twitter). This will be first volume + the related chapters of 4th volume. So first arc only
