The winter 2020 anime series Interspecies Reviewers just can’t step away from controversy. As new episodes continue to be produced – for now – and the networks and streaming services are seeing greater divergences from the source material in explicitness, the reactions are coming in. Tokyo MX, which broadcasts a huge amount of anime in general, has canceled the show on their network citing “changes in the circumstances within Tokyo Metropolitan Television.”
The series is still set to air on other networks and satellite services, though that could be changing as well if the ripple effect continues.
We’ve also learned that AnimeLab has found a new source for the show as they were getting their materials through Funimation and they will be continuing with a simulcast but not a simuldub for obvious reasons.
The series has Yuki Ogawa directing based on the series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu. Makoto Uno is working on the character designs with studio Passione handling the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Junji Majima as Stunk, Yūsuke Kobayashi as Zel, Miyu Tomita as Crimvael, Kaede Yuasa as Kanchal, M.A.O as Maydry, Momoyo Koyama as Elma, Carin Isobe as Mii, Mari Hino as Okpa, Rei Matsuzaki as Eldry, Yōko Hikasa as Aloe, Yuri Katō as Milky, Yuka Nukui as Ginny, Makoto Koichi as Elza, Shiori Izawa as Piltia, Takako Tanaka as Roana, Natsumi Takamori as Tiaplate, and Kyō Yaoya as Mitsue.
The manga, which Yen Press is releasing, began in 2016 as serialized in Monthly Dragon Age. It has two volumes published so far.
