The anime adaptation of Chaos;Child has been in the works for what feels like forever since it was announced in March 2015 and a manga series in April 2015. With the series now scheduled for a Winter 2017 anime season debut and a few things covered previously, we now have a fuller look at the show that’s being animated by Silver Link. Masato Jinbo will be directing the show and handling the series composition, something you don’t see too often, with Kazuyuki Yamayoshi handling the character design. The opening theme song will be performed by Kanako Itou while the ending theme song will be performed by Konomi Suzuki.
Newly added to the cast are:
- Suzuko Mimori as Hinae Arimura
- Inori Minase as Uki Yamazoe
- Sayaka Nakaya as Hana Kazuki
- Asami Sanada as Mio Kunosato
- Yuuki Fujiwara as Shinji Itou
- Atsushi Abe as Masashi Kawahara
- Yumi Hara as Yui Tachibana
- Kokoro Kikuchi as Yuito Tachibana
- Takuya Kirimoto as Takeshi Shinjou
- Kujira as Katsuko Momose
- Tomoyuki Shimura as Hisashi Sakuma
- Masayuki Katou as Shuuichi Wakui
The previously announced cast includes:
- Sumire Uesaka as Serika Onoe
- Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Takuru Miyashiro
- Sarah Emi Bridcutt as Nono Kurusu
All three voiced those roles in the game, which is a welcome bit of continuity for fans.
The Chaos;Head anime has been previously licensed and release by FUNimation in North America. Other properties in this “sci-fi adventure” grouping include Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes.
Plot concept: Described as a “psychological suspense” story, ChäoS;Child takes place in October 2015, six years after the events of ChäoS;HEAd. Abnormal events begin to occur in the Shibuya district, including mysterious deaths.
