The anime will also have its own "Akane-banashi Global" YouTube channel, where full episodes will stream for free in North America and Latin America, after its television broadcast in Japan.


And as usual, Europe always gets the short end of the stick... Mad

The rest of the planet gets the short end of the stick.

It will more than likely be streamed on multiple platforms anyway.

Since it was a well received manga, I really hoped that any licensor like Crunchyroll or Netflix will going to give this anime a dub

I know that Aniplex is a part of the production committee so there is a good chance Crunchyroll might stream it.

After Netflix got Fragrant Flower, which also have Aniplex as part of the production committee, I wouldn't be so sure. In the end, who bids the highest, wins.

Mm, I’m still not in love with the character designs. And I would’ve preferred Kappei Yamaguchi over Jun Fukuyama for Tooru’s voice.

But holy shit, Keisuke Kuwata for the opening!? I was hoping for Kenshi Yonezu (I love his “Shinigami,” which would’ve been such a perfect fit for this show), but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Southern All Stars would be involved in anime! My family are such huge fans! For the longest time, it’s felt like anime has come to the mainstream (with artists heavily connected to the anime industry like YOASOBI and Kenshi Yonezu becoming household names), but it feels like the mainstream has come to anime now! Wow! I’m…my breath’s been taken away! Shocked

Yes, I thought, 'Wait, he sounds like Keisuke Kuwata,' and it was him, He's a legend — one of the first Jpop cassette tapes I ever bought was one of his! I think I still have it somewhere...

I am curious. Why is this bad news as far as you are concerned?
