Mekaku City Actors Episode 2
Afer we got a few of them about two weeks ago, Aniplex is back with providing more of the Japanese character promos for Mekaku City Actors. One of the more anticipated spring 2014 anime season series, there were about ten character spots that were released in Japan, often of varying video quality due to whoever was putting them up, which gave us a look at the cast and the actors behind it. Aniplex USA, who is handling the simulcast of it here with it showing new episodes every Saturday on the Aniplex Channel, HULU, Crunchyroll, and DAISUKI, have added more of these over to their channel debuting in up to 1080p. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to subtitle them which hinders their usefulness a bit, but they’re definitely fun to revisit now that the show has a couple of episodes under its belt.
Animated by Shaft with Aniplex producing, the series brings producer Atsuhiro Iwakami together with director Akiyuki Shinobu with scripts by original creator Jin for the series. The show is adapting off of the Kagerou Days material.
Plot concept: Shintaro Kisaragi, a HikiNEET who shut himself inside his room for 2 years, had been living his life normally until he met a cyber girl named Ene, who appeared in his computer screen when someone anonymously sent him a mysterious e-mail one year ago. One day, Ene messes with Shintaro’s PC which causes him to go outside for the first time in two years.
