Crunchyroll’s pickup streak earlier this week included the pickup of Akiba’s Trip: The Animation, which is also getting a SimulDub from Funimation. With the first episode out already, Crunchyroll has done a bit of extra promotion for it by bringing out a lightly subtitled version of the most recent trailer for it.
The series is directed by Hiroshi Ikehata based on the series composition by Kazuho Hyoudou. Hajime Natsumi will be handling the character designs and Gonzo will be producing the animation.
The Japanese cast includes Haruki Ishiya as Tamotsu Denkigai, Rie Takahashi as Matome Manseika, Marika Kōno as Niwaka Denkigai, Yuki Nagaku as Arisa Ahokainen, Misaki Kuno as Tasujin Ratu and Jouji Nakata as Kage-san.
Plot concept: Akihabara, a broad-minded neighborhood where everyone from beginners to masters are welcomed. Even when you’re alone, if you go to Akiba, you’ll find someone who understands you. It’s a neighborhood where anything is possible, where anyone can do seemingly anything; a place where you can lay bare your body and soul. In this neighborhood of Akiba, which has everything including anime, games, maids, idols, secondhand parts, and cheap!
