A website opened on Wednesday to announce that Bungō to Alchemist: Shinpan no Haguruma (Literary Greats and Alchemists: The Gears of Judgment), a television anime adaptation of DMM Games’ Bungō to Alchemist game, has been green-lit for an April premiere.
The game’s main cast members are reprising their roles for the anime, led by Junichi Suwabe as real-life novelist Ryūnosuke Akutagawa.
The game has also inspired soundtrack and line reading CDs, “anthology comics,” and other print publications.
Atsuko Nakajima (Ranma ½, Tokyo Ghoul:re, Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom) is serving as character designer and chief animation director.
