Japanese Band BABYMETAL Getting Its Own Anime

Japanese band Babymetal first gained national attention when a metal group headed up by three high school girls made its way onto the Billboard World Charts at number 1. It really has to be seen to experienced:

Now that they've gained national acclaim, the band is getting their own anime! Billboard reports Warner Bros. will be developing an anime with live-action segments based on the three lead girls. Here's a description for the show:

The series will follow animated versions of members Yui Mizuno (“Yuimetal”), Suzuka Nakamoto (“Su-metal”) and Moa Kikuchi (“Moametal”) as they join together to save the metal genre from a lonely god named Kitsune.

Quick fact: Babymetal is the first Japanese artist to have made the Billboard charts in 50 years. Only Japan could have produced something as goofy and gimmicky as this! Then again, is it really a gimmick if people like it? I'm listening to their album right now and it's pretty solid!
