The spring 2018 anime series Steins;Gate 0 is moving right along and Funimation is doing some very welcome promotion of the series. As the dubbed version is about to get underway, they’ve now started streaming the opening sequence for the show that features the song “Fatima” by Kanako Itou which certainly sets quite the tone going into it. The sequence is a pretty good one in general and definitely makes for good easy sharing to try and draw people into it with the designs and atmosphere of it.
Kenichi Kawamura directed it and Tomoshige Inayoshi worked on the character designs. White Fox produced the animation for it.
The Japanese cast includes Mamoru Miyano as Rintarō Okabe, Kana Hanazawa as Mayuri Shiina, Tomokazu Seki as Itaru “Daru” Hashida, Asami Imai as Kurisu Makise, Saori Goto as Moeka Kiryū, Yu Kobayashi as Luka Urushibara, Halko Momoi as Faris Nyan-nyan, Yukari Tamura as Suzuha Amane, Sayuri Yahagi as Maho Hiyajō, Megumi Han as Kagari Shiina, Yukari Tamura as Yuki Amane, Mariko Honda as Katsumi Nakase, Hina Kino as Kaede Kurushima, Youji Ueda as Alexis Leskinen, and Maya Nishimura as Judy Reyes.
