Barangay 143, the First Ever Filipino Anime is set to Air on GMA 7 this October!
Hey guys!
Last night I was at Elements Centris for the media launch of Barangay 143 Anime Series.
At the event, Synergy88 Entertainment Media Inc. has announced that their upcoming TV Series will go on air on GMA 7 starting this October.
The event was hosted by DJs Chico Garcia and Gino Quillamor.
The announcement was made by Jyotirmoy Saha, CEO of August Media Holdings; Jackeline Chua, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Synergy88 Entertainment Media Inc. and Takahiro Kishimoto, Head of Animation, International Business Department of TV Asahi, and Joey Abacan, First Vice President, Program Management at GMA.
They also answered some of our questions about Barangay 143 Anime Series.
Barangay 143 is actually a feel good coming of age story about a Korean boy whose search for his father brings him to the Philippines. Lost and desperate for answers, here in this foreign land, he finds an unlikely family in a team of misfits whose only ambition is to bring glory to their hometown. It's a story about love and family set against the action-packed world of street basketball, where the stakes are always high and life the biggest game you can win.
Set against the backdrop of gritty Tondo, the series will also feature original music from a whole host of celebrity Filipino singers and musicians.
Known as the first-ever Filipino Anime series, Barangay 143 is Co-produced between Synergy88, TV Asahi (Japan) and August Media Holdings (Singapore).The series is painstakingly designed and produced here in Manila with the help crew from across Japan, South Korea, USA, Malaysia and Singapore.
BTW, everyone can enjoy Barangay 143 not just as an anime series but also as a mobile game, The Barangay 143 Street League mobile game is already available on the Google Play Store for Android and the iOS App StoreStore (If you attended ESGS 2017 and dropped by at the Synergy88 booth, Barangay 143 is one of the mobile games that they were promoting there). They said that the narrative story within the mobile game leads to the suspense and drama that drives the story for the upcoming TV Series. They will also be releasing a Barangay 143 web comic series real soon!
Now let's talk about the voice cast, because Barangay 143 is the first ever filipino anime series, they went all out and got a star studded voice cast for the anime, present at the launch were from L-R;
Paolo Contis as Koboy
Raver Eda as Buchoy
Jon Arcilla as Coach B
Julie Anne San Jose as Vicky
Migo Adecer as Bren T. Park (The main character)
Kelley Day as Jinri
Ruru Madrid as Wax
Cherie Gil as Sophia

How extra is that?
Of course let's not forget the awesome people behind Barangay 143,
