We learned last month about the original anime production with Anime-Gataris, which is set for a fall 2017 premiere. The cast for it has now expanded a bit with an update during an event this weekend that revealed that Rie Takahashi has boarded the project as Yui Obata. Takahashi doesn’t have a huge resume but she’s in this season’s series Love Tyrant as well as recent shows that include School-Live ande Re:Zero. The project is being directed by Kenshirou Torii based on the series composition by Mitsutaka Hirota. Soushi Kinutani is on board as the character designer and chief animation director with WAO World handling the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Kaede Hondo as Minoa Asagaya
- Sayaka Senbongi as Arisu Kamiigusa
- Hisako Tojo as Miko Kouenji
Plot concept: Minoa Asagaya entered Sakaneko Gakuen this Spring. As an anime beginner, she is invited by her classmate Arisu Kamiigusa to establish an anime research club together. Upon meeting Miko Kouenji and other upperclassmen who like anime, Minoa is gradually drawn into anime. While they fight against the student council that wants to disband the club, they unknowingly get caught up in the world destruction while enjoying discussing anime at the club room, Akihabara, Onsen, and visiting real-life locations.
