posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The website for the anime adaptation of Choboraunyopomi's four-panel comedy manga Ai Mai Mi (I My Me) announced the cast and staff on Monday.
Yuka Ōtsubo (Yuruyuri's Kyōko Toshinō) will voice Ai, Aya Uchida (Yuruyuri's Kaede, Freezing's Tichie Fenille) will voice Mai, and Maaya Uchida (Yuruyuri's Mari, Sankarea's Rea, Chūnibyō demo Koi ga Shitai!'s Rikka) will voice Mii. Other cast members include Ai Kayano (anohana's Menma, Lagrange's Muginami) as Ponoka-sempai and Seitarō Mukai of the comedy duo Tenshin as the narrator.
Ōtsubo, Aya Uchida and Maaya Uchida will also sing the show's theme song, "Girigiri Saikyō Ai Mai Mi!"
Itsuki Imazaki (Beyblade the Movie: Fierce Battle, episode director for Divergence Eve, Haibane Renmei) is directing the anime, writing the scripts, and designing the characters. Game composer Fūga Hatori (Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai: Tsumihoroboshi-hen) is scoring the music. The studio Seven is producing the anime.
The manga follows girls in a manga club — Ai, Mai, Mī, and Ponoka-sempai — who might be fighting evil invaders threatening Earth, facing off against rivals in tournaments, and dealing with other absurd situations when they are not drawing manga.
The series will premiere January 3 on AT-X, followed by TV Saitama, and KBS Kyoto before streaming on the Niconico, Bandai Channel and Rakuten ShowTime services.
