Jan 06, 2022 08:40 AM

Crunchyroll announced on Tuesday that it will stream the I'M KODAMA KAWASHIRI, Rusted Armors, and Salaryman's Club anime and the live-action Hakuōki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom series in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

I'M KODAMA KAWASHIRI, the anime of Kodama Kawajiri's Atasha Kawajiri Kodama Da Yo: Dangerous Life Hacker no Tadareta Seikatsu manga, will premiere on January 13 at 25:25 (effectively, January 14 at 1:25 a.m.) within the EXITV~FOD no Shinsaku Meisaku wo Pon! Pon! Misemakuri!!~ variety program on Fuji TV. The anime will stream 12 episodes early on the FOD service late night on January 13, and then stream the episodes on FOD, TVer, and GyaO! after their television broadcast.

Aoi Yūki plays not only the main character Kodama Kawajiri, but "almost every other role."

The essay manga depicts the lazy, unhealthy daily life of Kawajiri, who loves alcohol and anything greasy, salty, or sweet.

Shingo Kaneko (Alice SOS, Spiral) is directing the anime at Lapin Track (Sarazanmai, Uchitama?! Have you seen my Tama?), and Yayoi Takano is serving as both character designer and chief animation director. Chieko Nakamura (Studio Cocolo) is directing the art, and Yuki Akimoto is the color key artist. Tomoyuki Shiokawa (T2 Studio) is the compositing director of photography, and Masayuki Kurosawa is editing. Yuma Yamaguchi is composing the music.

The television anime of the Sabiiro no Armor (Rusted Armors) franchise will premiere on Tokyo MX1, Sun TV, TV Wakayama, and AT-X on January 9, and on BS Fuji on January 11.

Normally, "2.5-D" stage play projects are based on existing anime or manga, but with the Rusted Armors project, the stage play started first in 2017. Nelke Planning oversees the project. The project focuses on the relationship between the gun-toting Magoichi — who is the leader of the Saika Ikki mercenary group — and the Sengoku era warlord Oda Nobunaga. Taiki Satō from Fantastics from Exile Tribe is slated to reprise the role of Magoichi from the multimedia project's stage play for the anime. Voice actor Toshiki Masuda is also slated to reprise his role as Oda Nobunaga from the stage play.

Shinmei Kawahara (Tōfu Kozō) is directing the anime at Kigumi, and Ohine Ezaki (episodes of Classroom of the Elite, The Rising of The Shield Hero) is supervising and writing the series scripts.
