The official website for the Monthly Mōsō Science (Gekkan Mōsō Kagaku) original television anime revealed the opening and ending theme song artists on Friday. The main male voice cast — including Takahide Ishii as Taro J Suzuki, Kazutomi Yamamoto as Jiro Tanaka, Yusuke Shirai as Saburo, and Shunichi Toki as Goro Sato — will perform the opening song. The four characters make up the Monthly Mōsō Science Editorial Department. Shunichi Toki is performing the ending theme song, titled “SCIENCE,” as his fourth solo single due out on February 21.
The anime will premiere in January.
The original anime’s story is set in a certain country in Most City, where the handsome editor-in-chief Tarō, 10-year-old assistant Jirō, and the dog Saburō run a small publishing company. The company publishes the Monthly Mōsō (Delusion) Science magazine with articles about bizarre paranormal phenomena. A scientist named Gorō visits the editorial department one day, and they all get involved in an incident that even science cannot explain.
Ichigo Umatani is credited for the original story. Chizuru Miyawaki (Gintama: The Final, Raven of the Inner Palace) drafted the original character designs, and is also directing the anime at OLM (Team Yoshioka). Hiroko Kanasugi (Mewkledreamy, Drug Store in Another World – The Slow Life of a Cheat Pharmacist) is supervising the series scripts, Akane Hirota (chief animation director for Komi Can’t Communicate) is designing the characters for animation.
