After an initial postponement due to the health emergency, the new Crunchyroll Original EX-ARM has finally received an official release date January 2021. In addition to the date, the streaming site also confirmed that the series was created with the 3DCG animation techniquein the Japanese studio Visual flight.
Soma Saito (Hermes in Danmachi, Takao in 12-sai) will voice the protagonist Akira Natsume, while the boy Mikako Komatsu (Saika in Oregairu, Arte in the series of the same name) will play the policewoman Minami. Eventually it was confirmed that Alma is played by Akari Kito (Kotoko in In / Specter, Nezuko in Demon Slayer). The cast is relatively young, but the names are anything but reserved.
As for the staff, the director Yoshikatsu Kimura (Ajin Live-Action) leads the Visual Flights team according to the script by Tommy Morton. For the animation studio, this is the first ever anime, so using the 3DCG could be a double-edged sword. Before we can evaluate the quality of the work, we have to wait for the first official trailer, which is scheduled for the last third of 2020.
