It has been announced that voice actor Ootsuka Houchu will be the narrator for the TV anime "CITY THE ANIMATION," which is based on the manga "CITY" by Arawi Keiichi, who is also known for "Nichijou" and other works. The cast members have been announced one by one since March, and now the main cast has been revealed. "CITY THE ANIMATION" is produced by Kyoto Animation, the same company that produced "Nichijou," and it is also attracting attention that this is the first time in about six years that the company has produced a new anime, excluding sequels.
"CITY" is a manga that was serialized in "Morning" (Kodansha) from 2016 to 2021. It depicts the lives of some slightly unusual people living in an ordinary "CITY", including penniless college student Nagumo Mitori, Nikura, and Izumi Wako.
The anime will be directed by Ishidate Taichi, known for "Beyond the Boundary" and "Violet Evergarden," and produced by Kyoto Animation, the studio behind the "Nichijou" TV anime. Mikako Komatsu will play the protagonist Nagumo Mitori, Aki Toyosaki play the protagonist's friend Nikura, and Ishikawa Yui will play Izumi Wako, the most mysterious character in the series. It will begin airing on ABC TV, TOKYO MX, and other channels from July 6.
