Animax Asia Posts Ads for The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!, Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san Anime

posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Both anime premiere on January 8

Animax Asia posted English-subtitled commercial videos on Tuesday for its simulcast airings of the The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done! and Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san anime.

The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done! will premiere on January 8 at 11:00 p.m. Animax Asia describes the anime:

16-year-old Yaichi Kuzuryu is the strongest Shogi player in history, who holds the top title of “Ryūō” (Dragon King). One fateful day, the Shogi-loving elementary school student Ai Hinatsuru suddenly appears before him, claiming that he once promised to be her master. Yaichi has totally forgotten about this promise, but through their interactions, he will soon discover her potential for the game and also reignite his own passion that made him a Shogi master.

The anime adapts Shiratori Shirow and Shirabi's The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done! (Ryūō no Oshigoto!) light novel series. The series' first English volume debuted on BookWalker's website in fall 2016.

Shinsuke Yanagi (Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS, And you thought there is never a girl online?, Momo Kyun Sword) is directing the anime at the studio project No.9 (Angel's 3Piece, And you thought there is never a girl online?). Fumihiko Shimo (New Game!, Clannad, Infinite Stratos) is in charge of the series scripts, and Akane Yano (And you thought there is never a girl online?) is designing the characters based on Shirabi's original novel illustrations. Kenji Kawai (Ghost in the Shell, Fate/stay night, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma ½) is composing the music.

Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san will premiere on January 8 at 11:30 p.m.

The anime adapts Sōichirō Yamamoto's Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san (Teasing Master Takagi-san) manga. Yamamoto's Ashita wa Doyōbi (Tomorrow is Saturday) manga, which takes place in the same setting, will also get an adaptation "within" the Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san anime.

Hiroaki Akagi (Hina Logic - from Luck & Logic) is directing Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san at Shinei Animation (Elegant Yokai Apartment Life, Doraemon). Michiko Yokote (RIN-NE, Genshiken, ReLIFE) is handling the series composition, and Aya Takano (Himouto! Umaruchan, Kimi no Koe o Todoketai, Polar Bear's Café) is designing the characters for animation. Takuji Mogi (And you thought there is never a girl online?) and Natsuko Kondou (animation director for Natsume's Book of Friends seasons 3 and 4, Durarara!!×2 Shō) are the chief animation directors.
