Check out Full Metal Schoolgirl – a new anime FPS that looks amazing (yes, somehow this is my job!)

Sometimes, at the end of a hard day at the office (well, sort of), families may sit down together and chat over dinner about what they did over the course of the day. How am I supposed to be taken seriously when I tell them that I spent a portion of the day bringing you news about the amazing-looking Full Metal Schoolgirl – a new FPS shooter from the people who brought us Earth Defence Force.

In truth, I will probably just gloss over it, but not with you, my friends.

It is the year 2089, the United Federation of Japan is an industrial powerhouse, while also being one of the world’s leading countries in overtime work.

In this sickening future, the economy is booming, and working 24 hours a day is considered virtuous.

The core of this country’s industry, economy, and social system is controlled by a single giant corporation. Probably needs to metal schoolgirls to fix all that eh?

For starters, watch the trailer. I make no apology for that theme tune, which may well be in your head for the rest of the day. I also make no apology for bringing you news of Full Metal Schoolgirl, which looks super fun.

At its heart, a comedy anime FPS shooter with you playing the titular role of mechanized schoolgirl vigilantes out to save the world, expect brash colors, crazy music, and robots, oh so many robots, all being blown up and chopped to pieces 24/7.

It’s the same devs at EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: World Brothers 2 and looks every bit as bonkers, and currently has a scheduled release date of 23rd October on Steam, PS5, and Switch 2.

Who are Full Metal Schoolgirl’s voice actors?

A game like this is always going to need A-list anime voice actors, and the publishers have gone all out here.

Ryoko Arahabaki – Machine Girl MG-JK001

Hugely popular anime voiceover actor Diana Garnet gets the role here. With credits in games such as Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, as well as more animated anime TV shows than you can imagine, as well as a Director role on Zenless Zone Zero, Diana is anime royalty.

Akemi Minamiazabu – Machine Girl MG-JK002

Another hugely talented anime voice actor, Hannah Grace, joins the cast as Akemi. Fresh from starring in Shogun’s Ninja, Hannah is best known for roles in the Japanese comedy The Benza and Benza English.
