Trigger, the studio behind the likes of Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann, has revealed that they will release a new anime in April called Space Patrol Luluco (Uchū Patrol Luluco in Japanese) about a young girl attending junior high in space.

The series’ synopsis, at least according to Crunchyroll, indicates that Luluco gets drafted as a space patrol while attempting to save her father - a detective with the agency - who has been frozen. All the while, she continues to be a junior high school student in a special space immigration ward. Sounds like some hijinks are unavoidable with an undercurrent of seriousness.

Space Patrol Luluco is scheduled to air as part of the Ultra Super Anime Time programming block in Japan starting April 1st. It will also be simulcast by Crunchyroll as part of the streaming service’s spring 2016 lineup. Trigger had previously announced that there would be a series coming, but the exact nature of it was unknown until the website went up yesterday. The original story is credited to both Trigger and Hiroyuki Imaishi, who will serve as director of the series as well as overseeing its composition.
