The winter 2018 anime adaptation of the Kokkoku: Moment by Moment manga from Seita Horio is underway and the studio is doing promotion for it. And they’re doing it in my favorite way by bringing out the opening sequence in an easy to share format which features the theme song “Flashback” by MIYAVI vs KenKen. The show will be directed by Yoshimitsu Ohashi with Noboru Kimura working on the series composition. Yasuomi Umetsu is on board with the original characters designs with Masaki Hinata adapting them for the show.
The Japanese cast includes Chika Anzai as Juri Yukawa, Asami Seto as Shōko Majima, Kazuhiro Yamaji as Old Man, Hozumi Gōda as Junji Sagawa, Kouji Tsujitani as Takafumi Yukawa, Hirofumi Nojima as Tsubasa Yukawa, Ryūto Iwata as Makoto Yukawa, Yuya Uchida as Shiomi, and Hiroyuki Yoshino as Sako.
The manga from Seita Horio ran from 2008 to 2014 with eight volumes and just had its first volume released digitally by Kodansha Comics in English.
Plot Concept: In order to save her brother and nephew who have been kidnapped by a mysterious religious group known as the Genuine Love Society, Juri and her family cast a spell using a stone hidden by her grandfather to enter the world of stopped time known as Stasis. However, when they infiltrate the kidnapper’s base, they’re met by other people who can also move about freely. With grotesque creatures lurking about, will they be able to escape the parallel world and return to their normal lives?!
