Delicious in Dungeon will premiere on January 4.
Yoshihiro Miyajima (SSSS.Dynazenon film, episode director for SSSS.Gridman) is directing the Delicious in Dungeon anime at Trigger. Kimiko Ueno (The Royal Tutor, Chimimo, Eternal Boys) is overseeing the series scripts, Naoki Takeda (chief animation director for BNA: Brand New Animal) is designing the characters, and Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Xenoblade Chronicles, Black Butler: Book of Circus) is composing the music.
Kui launched the manga in Kadokawa's Harta magazine in February 2014, and ended the series on September 15.
The story centers on Sonic's adventure in a "strange new multiverse." Sonic sets out to save the universe while having his own journey of self-discovery and redemption. Shadow the Hedgehog, among other franchise characters, is also in the show.
The film centers on third-year middle school student Masamune, who lives in a town where time has stopped because a sudden explosion at a steelworks factory has sealed off all exits to the town. In order to hopefully one day return to normal, the residents of the town are forbidden from changing, and they live out their gloomy everyday lives. Masamune's enigmatic classmate Mutsumi leads him one day to the fifth blast furnace of the steelworks factory, and there they meet a girl who is wild like a wolf and who cannot talk. The meeting of Masamune and these two girls upsets the balance of the world. The unstoppable "love impulse" of the boys and girls who are tired of their everyday lives begins to destroy the world.
Okada wrote and directed the film, which MAPPA originally announced in 2021. Okada is also credited with the original work. Okada also wrote a novel of the film that Kadokawa Bunko released on June 13.
Tadashi Hiramatsu served as the assistant director, and Yuriko Ishii (Another, Persona -trinity soul-) designed the characters and served as chief animation director. Kazuki Higashiji (Angel Beats!, Hanasaku Iroha - Blossoms for Tomorrow, The Piano Forest) directed the art. All of the above animators collaborated on Okada's Maquia - When the Promised Flower Blooms film. Masaru Yokoyama (Her Blue Sky, Horimiya) composed the music. Warner Bros. distributed the film.
The anime premiered in Japan on a newly created anime programming slot on TBS and its 27 affiliates on October 8 at 4:30 p.m. (3:30 a.m. EDT). The anime will run for half a year without breaks.
Maki Odaira (Pokémon Journeys: The Series) is directing the anime at Telecom Animation Film, and Shigeru Murakoshi (I'm Quitting Heroing, Zombie Land Saga) is overseeing and writing the series scripts. Youichi Takada (key animator for Lupin the Third: Part 5, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) is the character designer, and Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto are composing the main theme. Yamamoto is also composing the music. UNLIMITED PRODUCE by TMS is in charge of production and planning.
