The anime will premiere on Tokyo MX on July 5 at 10:00 p.m.

Venus Project tells the story of idols living in Japan in the near future. In this world, data devices and video technology have been progressing to new heights, and people are abuzz about a new form of entertainment — Formula Venus. In Formula Venus or "F-V," the chosen top idols battle in live performances with their willpower, skills, and all their experience gained.

The television series will actually be six anime episodes and six live-action variety episodes, each 30 minutes long. The anime's story will be set in the same world as the PS Vita game's, but it will feature a new anime original protagonist, "an aspiring idol aiming to be Venus."

Before the anime premieres this July, the free-to-play Venus Project card battle role-playing Kanako Sakai.

A web-comic launched on April 21. A live event is planned for October, and there will also be radio programs (over-the-air and online) and other tie-in efforts.
