posted on by Karen Ressler
The official website for the upcoming television anime adaptation of Nozomi Uda's Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge (Tanaka is Always Listless) manga revealed the theme song performers on Monday. Male vocal group Unlimited tone (pictured above) will perform the opening theme song "Utatane Sunshine" (Napping sunshine) and singer/songwriter CooRie (pictured below) will perform the ending theme song "BON-BON." The single CDs will ship on April 27 and May 11, respectively.
CooRie has previously performed ending theme songs for School Days, Daphne in the Brilliant Blue, and D.C. ~Da Capo~.
The anime's cast includes:
- Kenshō Ono as Tanaka
- Yoshimasa Hosoya as Ohta
- Natsumi Takamori as Miyano
- Kotori Koiwai as Shiraishi
- Ayaka Suwa as Echizen
- Aoi Yūki as rino
- Nao Tōyama as Saya
- Kazuyuki Okitsu as Shimura
- Yūichi Iguchi as Katō
The anime's official website previously streamed a promotional video in December for the anime, which reveals the anime's April premiere on Tokyo MX and MBS.
Shinya Kawatsura (.hack//GIFT, Kokoro Connect, Non Non Biyori) will direct the anime at SILVER LINK, and Akemi Omode (Getbackers, Kyo kara Maoh!, Tales of the Abyss) will oversee the scripts. Haruko Iizuka (Umi Monogatari, Ōkami-san & Her Seven Companions, Little Busters!) will design the characters for animation, while Kusanagi will provide the art direction. Hiromi Mizutani (Sunday Without God, Non Non Biyori, Shomin Sample) will compose the music.
The youth comedy manga follows the ever-listless Tanaka and his taciturn classmate Ohta, who can't leave Tanaka alone.
Uda launched the series on the Gangan Online website in 2013, and Square Enix published the manga's fifth compiled volume on November 21. The sixth volume will ship in April. The manga has more than 1 million copies in print.
