by The T.V. anime “Orient” based on Shinobu Otaka will be broadcast in 2022. The central cast staff, Teaser Visual, has been released.
“Orient,” which is serialized in the separate Shonen Magazine (Kodansha), is set in the Warring States period when “demons” dominate humans, and two boys, Musashi and Kojiro, who longed for samurai, formed the “strongest samurai corps.” A battle fantasy that promises to exterminate demons. This time, Yuma Uchida, who has not given up on the dream of forming the “strongest samurai corps” with his best friend Kojiro, has a cold personality as a child of a samurai who is hated in the town. Soma Saito will play the role of Musashi’s best friend, Kojiro Kanemaki. Animation production will be done by A.C.G.T., directed by Tetsuya Yanagisawa, series composition by Mariko Kunizawa, and character design by Takahiro Kishida.
The teaser visual, which has been lifted, depicts Musashi holding a sword and Kojiro trying to pull the sword out of the sheath against a wilderness backdrop where a Japanese-style castle flies in the blue sky and vehicles like vehicles motorcycles are parked. In addition, Otaka’s illustrations drawn by Musashi and Kojiro to celebrate the animation have arrived. Otaka said, “The staff is currently working hard to produce the” Orient “animation.
I’m looking forward to seeing how the characters move in the animation as they breathe new life. I sent a comment.
Shinobu Otaka comment
The staff is currently working hard to produce the “Orient” animation. As the original author, I’m looking forward to seeing how the characters move in the anime as they breathe new life. Please look forward to the broadcast, even if you are supporting us. I will do my best in the original work, so I look forward to working with you!
Comment from Yuma Uchida (role of Musashi)
This time, I am Yuma Uchida, who will be in charge of Musashi’s voice at Orient.
In a world where samurai have been taught to be evil, Musashi fights with a passion for samurai, which he has longed for since he was a child! Musashi is a little missing, but his feelings are more potent than anyone else! Empowered by his exact words. Please enjoy the life of the samurai and the hot Sengoku battle fantasy with animation! Thank you for the Orient !!
Comment from Soma Saito (role of Kojiro Kanemaki)
My name is Soma Saito, and I am in charge of the voice of Kojiro Kanemaki. When I read the original when I auditioned, I was absorbed in reading it all at once. Kojiro is a lovely person who pretends to be relaxed and has a life-sized boyishness. We will do our best to enjoy both hot battle scenes and humorous everyday scenes, so thank you for your cooperation! I can’t wait for dubbing!
Comment from Tetsuya Yanagisawa (Director)
I’ve been reading shōnen manga since I was a kid. I learned a lot from manga, I like a strong hero, and I’ve been encouraged many times to stick to my beliefs and overcome any challenges. I also like the weak hero. When he gets hurt and falls and stands up again, he always grows up. Tragic stories are good. Tears are an essential step to the next. Sometimes I quarrel with my friends and laugh at each other. I like that kind of manga. All of that is in the Orient. I’ve always wanted to make something like this one day.
Mariko Kunizawa (series composition) Comments
The more I read, the more I feel that the world of the “Orient” is the society in which we live. I am working hard every day with the director to convey the fun and charm to as many people as possible. Would you please look forward to the anime “Orient”? Thank you.
