Classroom Crisis Anime's Ad Reveals Core Cast

Showtaro Morikubo, Sora Amamiya, Ari Ozawa star in original anime premiering July 3

The official website for the original television anime Classroom Crisis began streaming a commercial introducing the three main cast members on Saturday. The website also unveiled more staff members and a new key visual.

The cast includes:

Showtaro Morikubo as Kaito Sera, a young hot-blooded teacher and room monitor who works for A-TEC. A natural born engineer, he dreams of creating a new engine with his students. It seems like he'd be popular with the students because of his closeness in age, but once he gets going on an impassioned speech he can be annoying.
Ari Ozawa as Mizuki Sera, a third year student and engineer who works for A-TEC. She lives with her big brother Kaito and does all the housework. She decided to become an engineer to follow in the footsteps of her late parents. She's a member of her class committee and dresses maturely.
Sora Amamiya as Iris Shirasaki, a third year student and poster girl test pilot for A-TEC. Not just a figurehead, she can boast incredible flying skills. However, she's not very safety-conscious, and even drives her bike recklessly during her commute, setting a new "course record" every day. Her friend Mizuki is always telling her to be careful.

The "school x work romantic comedy" is an adolescent vignette about the troubles and tribulations of high schoolers on salary.

Kenji Nagasaki (Gundam Build Fighters, No. 6) is directing the series at studio Lay-duce (Magi: Adventure of Sinbad, Go! Go! 575), Hiro Kanzaki (Oreimo, EUREKA SEVEN AO, Go! Go! 575) is designing the characters with animation director Satoshi Ishino, and Fumiaki Maruto (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend, White Album 2) is in charge of scripts. MONTWO wrote the original story.

Newly announced staff members include:

Chief Animation Directors: Satoshi Ishino, Takeshi Yoshioka, Ayumi Kurashima
Concept Art Design: Kazuhiro Hocchi
Mechanical Design: Toshinari Tanaka
Mechanical Prop Design: Takashi Akaishizawa
Color Plan: Reiko Iwasawa
Art Directors: Takashi Aoi, Masahiro Obata
Background Artist: Takuya Ebisawa
Director of Photography: Haruka Gotō
Editing: Takeshi Sadamatsu
Sound Director: Akiko Fujita
Music: Yuuki Hayashi

This anime will air in the Animeism programming block beginning on July 3.

The series will get a manga adaptation, novel adaptation, and spinoff novel. The prologue of the manga adaptation, by artist Masaharu Takano, will premiere in the August issue of Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Alive on June 27.

Hajime Taguchi will write the novel adaptation of MONTWO's story, and rin and Lay-duce will illustrate. Hajime Asano will write the spinoff novel about the daily lives of members of A-TEC, and Kingin will illustrate. The first volumes of both will ship on July 24.
