The series is the first television anime adaptation of the novels in 24 years since 1993’s The Irresponsible Captain Tylor.
Yoshioka’s novels inspired The Irresponsible Captain Tylor television anime in 1993, as well as a 10-episode OAV series that ran from 1994 to 1996.
The new story centers on Banjo Ueki Tylor, and is set “beyond the distant future, in the even more distant future.”
Nogizaka 46 idol group member Hina Higuchi will voice the robot Yamamoto, while Takuya Eguchi will voice the similarly named Yamamoto, a male character.
