Majestic Prince is back in the news! No, this isn't a leak of the April 1 announcement, so there's still hope for an anime sequel. Instead, a pachinko machine has been revealed, with the cabinet coming this spring, boasting new animation and character voices, along with a 3D Red Five mech.

Following the conclusion of the 2013 anime, IP rights holder Fields Corporation held out the possibility of a second season, along with games for smartphone (which was released), PC apps and other character goods.

In other Majestic Prince doings, cast members Shintaro Asanuma (Toshikazu Asagi), Yōko Hikasa (Kei Kugimiya) and Yuka Iguchi (Tamaki Irie) will be appearing for a stage presentation at next weekend's AnimeJapan tradeshow.
