posted on by Egan Loo

The Noitamina programming block began streaming the preview video for the first episode of the Punch Line television anime on Tuesday.

Chiranosuke: Yuta Iridatsu, your soul has separated from your body!
Yuta: Whoa! Seriously!?
Chiranosuke: Even so, don't be thinking you can just spend all your time seeing girls in the rough!
Yuta: ...Why not?
Chiranosuke: Because if you see a girl's panties, humanity will be destroyed.
Yuta: Argh! I don't get it!
Chiranosuke: Punch Line episode one - Panty Panic.
Yuta: For the sake of the happiest future!

The anime's tagline reads, "Once he sees panties, humanity is destroyed!?" Writer Kōtarō Uchikoshi (Ever17) told Famitsu magazine that a game project is in the works.

The cast includes:


Marina Inoue as Yūta Iridatsu, the protagonist whose spirit has been separated from his body.

Minako Kotobuki as Ito Hikiotani, a NEET who plays online games.


Haruka Tomatsu as Rabura Chichibu, a gal-style fishy spiritual medium.

In addition, Yuri Yoshida plays Chiranosuke.

Yutaka Uemura directs the series at MAPPA from scripts by Kōtarō Uchikoshi, who is best known for his scripts for the adventure visual novel Ever17. Music producer and composer Tetsuya Komuro is scoring the anime's music, and MAGES. is producing the show. Shōta Iwasaki is designing the characters.

The series will premiere in Fuji TV's late-night Noitamina timeslot on April 9, and Crunchyroll will stream the anime into several countries as it airs in Japan.
