HIDIVE revealed on Tuesday the English dub cast for the television anime of Yū Hashimoto's 2.5 Dimensional Seduction (2.5 Jigen no Lilysa) manga, which begins streaming on Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. EDT. The company posted a dub trailer:

Kyle Colby Jones is directing the dub.
Hideki Okamoto (Bakugan: Evolutions, Mysteria Friends) is directing the anime at J.C. Staff. Takao Yoshioka (Horimiya) is in charge of the series scripts. Tomoyuki Shitaya (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma) is designing the characters. Hiroaki Tsutsumi (Dr. Stone) is composing the music. Meichan performed the opening theme song "Shutter Chance," and voice actresses Kaori Maeda and Akari Kitō as their characters performed the ending theme song "Watch Me" for the show's first half.
Seven Seas licensed the manga as part of its Ghost Ship imprint, and it describes the story:
“I have no interest in real girls!” So claims Okumura, the president of the school's manga club. He's your typical otaku, obsessed with a sexy (fictional) 2D manga character known as Lilliel. Then the new school year starts, and a (real!) 3D girl named Lilysa whose passion is cosplay joins the club. Lilysa convinces Okumura to become her photographer--and guess who her favorite manga character is? Not only that, but Lilysa is into modeling the fetishy stuff! The boundaries between 2D and 3D start to blur as this hot-blooded romantic comedy unfolds.
Hashimoto launched the ongoing manga on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ website in 2019. The manga has over 1.7 million copies in circulation. Seven Seas licensed the manga as part of its Ghost Ship imprint.
Aiming and Team Caravan developed a smartphone game for the franchise titled 2.5 Jigen no Lilysa: Tenshi-tachi no Stage (2.5 Dimensional Seduction: Angels' Stage). The cosplay battle role-playing game launched for iOS and Android devices in September 2024, and for PC via Steam that October.
