Attack on Titan's WIT Studio Animates Hōzuki no Reitetsu

posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Adaptation of Natsumi Eguchi's supernatural manga to premiere in January

A Tokyo stage Hōzuki no Reitetsu supernatural manga announced the main staff on Saturday. The dark comedy revolves around the fierce god aide to the Great King Yama, Hōzuki. Calm and super-sadistic, he tries to resolve problems that often occur in Hell.

Sound Team Don Juan is producing the sound.

A group of the series' main cast known as Jigoku no Sata All Stars (Hell's Affairs All Stars) will perform the opening theme song, and Sumire Uesaka (voice of Peach Maki) will sing the ending theme song.

The anime's official website also added images of the main characters for the cast revealed in August:

Hiroki Yasumoto as Hōzuki

Takashi Nagasako as Enma Daiō

Daisuke Hirakawa as Momotarō


Hiroki Gotō as Kakisuke


Tetsuya Kakihara as Karauri

Tōko Aoyama as Nasubi

Eri Kitamura as Okō


The anime will premiere in Japan in January. The stage event previewed the first episode, and Yasumoto narrated the beginning of the episode live during the event.

Eguchi began the manga in Media Arts Festival Awards last year.
