It’s been almost a year since back in January that the Grimms Notes game Square Enix revealed that it was getting an anime adaptation and now the licensing moment has finally happened. While Sentai Filmworks has revealed that they’ve picked up the rights to the show, Crunchyroll has revealed that they’ll be streaming it as well. The series is set to go live on January 11th, 2019 at 11:30 pm ET for their members. Availability for it is set to viewers in the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Netherlands, Scandinavia and Central and Latin America, Spain, Portugal, and Turkey.
Seiki Sugawara is directing it based on the series composition by Hiroshi Yamaguchi. Kentaro Matsumoto is handling the character designs with Brain’s Base working on the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Ryota Ohsaka as Ekusu, Reina Ueda as Reina, Miyu Kubota as Shane, Takuya Eguchi as Tao, Takahiro Mizushima as Loki, and Sumire Uesaka as Curly.
Ayana Taketatsu is going to handle the opening theme song “Innocent Notes” for the series while i☆Ris is set to perform ending theme song “Endless Notes,” which isn’t too much of a surprise as one of the members, Miyu Kubota, is in the series itself.
