The Junji Ito: Collection will premiere on Tokyo MX on January 7th, 2017 and the leads for the three stories have been revealed. With it working anthology material there’s going to be some fun changing up of things along the way and the cast definitely will get a chance to shine with three more additions that include:
- Hikaru Midorikawa as Yotsuzuchi no Bishounen
- Mami Koyama as Fuchi
- Rie Suegara as Tomie
The previously announced cast includes:
- Yuuji Mitsuya in Souichi
- Hiro Shimono in Oshikiri
- Kaori Nazuka in Yuuko
The show is being directed by Shinobu Tagashira, who is also handling the character designs for it, with Kaoru Sawada handling the scripts. Studio DEEN is producing the animation.
The first visual for it shows some of what it’s going to adapt with characters from Fuchi (“Fashion Model”), Tohru Oshikiri (“Oshikiri Idan”), Tomie (Tomie series), Sōichi (“Sōichi” series), Handsome Man at the Crossroads (“Shibito no Koiwazurai”), and Yūko (“Namekuji Shōjo”).
