The official website for Fuji
TV and Shirogumi's revisions original
television anime revealed a promotional
video, key visual, and additional cast for the series on Tuesday. The video
features THE ORAL
CIGARETTES' opening theme song "Wagamama de Gomakasanaide"
(Don't Deceive With Selfishness).
The
new cast members are:
Takahiro Sakurai as Mikio Dōjima, Daisuke's uncle. He allowed Daisuke to move
into the house he has in Shibuya, and attend school from there. A doctor who
believes in comprehensive medical care, he is knowledgeable, courageous, and
trusted by those around him.
Aya Endo as Yumiko
Yazawa, the school nurse at Daisuke's school. She tries her hardest to be a
good teacher, but because of her young age, all the students call her by her
first name, and it bothers her.
Masaki Terasoma as Ryōhei
Kuroiwa, chief of the Shibuya Police. As the head of the only public safety
organization that was sent to the future, he does his best to keep the peace in
a city that's fallen into chaos. He's direct and bold, but can also be forceful
and overbearing. He's supposedly famous among other police for his skill with a
gun
Nobuo Tobita as
Seiichirō Muta, mayor of Shibuya. Quick-witted and intelligent, and an
excellent example of a typical politician. Also the head of the Disaster
Response HQ. He tries to avoid taking responsibility for anything, and it's
very common for him to foist anything he doesn't want to deal with onto his
underlings.
Yuka Terasaki as Kanae
Izumi, a female officer working for the Shibuya police. Works with Daisuke's
group as the person on the force responsible for handling the S.D.S. She has a
strong sense of right and wrong and takes her work very seriously. Highly
trusted, cheerful, and kind.
The
previously announced cast, and the website's official English character
descriptions, include:
Kouki Uchiyama as Daisuke Dojima. 17
years old, and a second-year student at Seisho Academy. After being kidnapped
as a child, he was saved by a mysterious woman named Milo, who told him, “You
will be visited by a terrible danger. When that happens, you'll be the only one
who can protect everyone.” He blindly believed her words, and has spent the
rest of his life preparing for that moment. None of his other friends believe
it, though, and he has become a social outcast. But he refuses to change his
beliefs, and won't listen to what anyone else says.
Mikako Komatsu as Milo.
19 years old. A descendant of humanity from the far future, which has been
destroyed by a pandemic. One of the few humans who was resistant to the
Revisions. She is an agent called a “Balancer” who works for the organization
AHRV, which protects the future where humanity still survives. She has strong
feelings of hatred towards the Revisions for their massacres of AHRV's members,
and devotes herself to the organization entirely. Emotionally inexpressive, she
lives a logical, orderly life.
Nobunaga Shimazaki as Chang
Gai Steiner. 17 years old, and a second-year student at Seisho Academy. Lu's
twin brother. An excellent student, and athletic as well. He dislikes Daisuke
for the childish way he's acting now that his dream of being a hero is coming
true. But in fact, just like Daisuke he remembers the prophecy Milo gave him:
“Doubt everything.” He has the capability to be a cool and collected leader, a
talent he puts to good use in the SDS (Shibuya Defense Service).
Rie Takahashi as Chang
Lu Steiner. 17 years old. Gai's twin sister. Just like her brother, she's good
at sports and gets excellent grades. Strong on the outside, inside she is
dependent on her brother, and follows him everywhere. Just like her brother,
she's aggravated by Daisuke's overprotective nature, and keeps her distance
from him. The only member of the team who doesn't remember Milo's prophecy.
Manaka Iwami as Marin
Temari. 17 years old, and a second-year student at Seisho Academy. A classmate
of Daisuke's, who goes by the nickname “Marimari”. Easygoing and cheerful,
she's beloved by her classmates, but she is also indecisive and lacking in
confidence. Milo's prophecy to her, “In the end, you'll need to decide for
yourself,” weighs on her heavily. When she was young, she was fond of Daisuke,
but in the future she has complicated feelings about the way he behaves as a
“hero”.
Sōma Saitō as
Keisuke Asano. 17 years old, and a second-year student at Seisho Academy.
Daisuke's one real friend, and the only person who understands him. He acts as
a buffer between the selfish Daisuke and the SDS. He's always chipper and
upbeat, but at the same time self-effacingly says that he “has no luck”. He
clearly remembers Milo's words to him from the kidnapping incident, “Accept
everything”, and for this reason a part of him seems like he's given up.
Yōko Hikasa as
Chiharu Isurugi, a beautiful Revisions with dog ears and a tail. Always calm and
relaxed, she's very arrogant towards the people of Shibuya. She believes she is
fulfilling a great duty for the sake of her fellow Revisions. Mukyu's
younger twin sister.
Yukari Tamura as Mukyū
Isurugi, a Revisions who wears a gothic lolita maid outfit, and has dog ears
and a tail. She has a sadistic personality and shows no mercy to the people of
Shibuya. She outranks Nicolas, and thus treats him very harshly, but she's very
kind to her twin sister Chiharu.
Houchu Ohtsuka as
Nicholas Satō, a Revisions that resembles a stuffed dog. His full name
of “Nico of Laos, First Name Sugar”, but nobody bothers to remember it. He has
a carefree personality and enjoys never taking things too seriously. Chiharu
and Mukyu slightly outrank him, and the two look down upon him.
The
anime will premiere in Japan on Fuji TV's
"+Ultra" programming block on January 9, and it will also stream
exclusively on Netflix worldwide. The series will
first release all episodes simultaneously on Netflix in Japan on
January 10, before the anime debuts worldwide on Netfllix.

Daisuke
Dojima, a 2nd-year student in high school who was kidnapped when he was
younger, experiences a strange phenomenon along with his friends Gai, Lu,
Marimari, and Keisaku: “Shibuya Adrift”.
The center of the city of Shibuya is transported more than 300 years in the future. The people sent with it find nothing there but vast wastelands and forests, dotted with ruins… and hostile beings called “Revisions” that control massive mechanical monsters.
As the monsters tear through Shibuya, someone appears to save the people: a girl with the same name, “Milo”, as the one who helped Daisuke when he was kidnapped, who looks identical to her as well.
She gives Daisuke and his friends weapons called “String Puppets” that they can pilot, and tells them to protect Shibuya.
Daisuke has spent his whole life believing in the prophecy that Milo gave him when he was kidnapped, and he's overjoyed that the time has come at last and at the power he's gained. But the kidnapping incident tore the 5 childhood friends apart.
An isolated city. An unknown enemy. An uncertain past and a prophecy of the future. The children fight the “future” to bring back the “present”.
No matter what, they're going home...
