With it getting ever closer, TOHO has now brought out a new 30-second spot for the upcoming Ajin: Demi-Human – Crash feature that’s scheduled to arrive on September 23rd, 2016. This feature brings the trilogy to a close though there’s still some OAD material coming up and a second season of the TV series.
The film is being directed by Hiroyuki Seshita as the general director while Hiroaki Ando is serving as the main director, working off of the script by Hiroshi Seko. Yuki Moriyama is on board as the character designer for it while Polygon Pictures is handling the animation production and TOHO will be distributing it.
The cast announced so far includes Mamoru Miyano as Kei Nagai, Yoshimasa Hosoya as Kaito, Houchu Ohtsuka as Satō, Takahiro Sakurai as Tosaki, Mikako Komatsu as Izumi Shimomura, Daisuke Hirakawa as Kōji Tanaka, Aya Suzaki as Eriko Nagai, Hiroyuki Kinoshita as Ikuya Ogura and Jun Fukuyama as Kou Nakano.
The manga has been doing well in Japan since it launched in 2012 and it’s gotten some solid acclaim here since Vertical began publishing it. Crunchyroll is handling the digital presentation of the series, making it available to a large number of fans.
Property concept: High school student Kei Nagai is struck dead in a grizzly traffic accident, but immediately revives to learn that he may not be like every other human. Instead, he may be a mysterious almost immortal being granted not only the powers of rejuvination but the abilities to see super-natural beings. Scared, he runs away, and is aided in his escape from society by his friend. Unfortunately for Kei, the manhunt is on and he will soon be caught within a conflict between mankind and others like him as they prepare to fight a new war based on terror.
