The official website for the Monthly Mōsō Science (Gekkan Mōsō Kagaku) original television anime began streaming a second promotional video for the series on Saturday. The video reveals more cast and the show's January 11 debut.

The story takes place in the town of Most City in a certain country. On the second floor of an old building is a publishing company that puts out a periodical called Delusional Monthly Magazine, a science magazine featuring articles about shocking, bizarre events and inexplicable phenomena that make even scientists throw up their hands in defeat. Its staff consists only of a beautiful editor-in-chief and her one editor, Taro J. Suzuki, who are joined by grade-school-aged assistant Jiro Tanaka and his dog, Saburo. The editorial department is always empty, and Taro, Jiro, and Saburo are usually hanging out in Rock, a coffee shop on the first floor. One day, the scientist Goro Sato visits them for a consultation, and therein lies the beginning of an outlandish new story.
The anime stars:
- Takahide Ishii as Tarō J. Suzuki
- Kazutomi Yamamoto as Jirō Tanaka
- Yusuke Shirai as Saburō
- Shunichi Toki as Gorō Satō
Ichigo Umatani is credited for the original story. Chizuru Miyawaki (Gintama: The Final, Raven of the Inner Palace) drafted the original character designs, and is also directing the anime at OLM (Team Yoshioka). Hiroko Kanasugi (Mewkledreamy, Drug Store in Another World - The Slow Life of a Cheat Pharmacist) is supervising the series scripts, Akane Hirota (chief animation director for Komi Can't Communicate) is designing the characters for animation.
