It's the year 305 of the Alcian calendar, and the world is controlled by numbers. Every human born is branded with a "Count,” which could mean anything from the number of kilometers walked to the amount of people who have said your food is tasty. And if your Count drops to 0… you'll be sent into the Abyss! After Hina's mother's Count dropped to 0, her last request is for Hina to look for the Legendary Red Baron.
The previously revealed cast includes:
- Yoshiki Nakajima / Eric Vale as Licht Bach
- Rina Honnizumi / Sarah Wiedenheft as Hina
- Yūichirō Umehara as Jail Murdoch
- Shizuka Itou as Nana
- Ari Ozawa / Elizabeth Maxwell as Lynn May
- Aoi Ichikawa / Austin Tindle as Pele Popolo
- Aoi Yūki as Mizuki Sonohara
Hiroyuki Kanbe (Oreimo both seasons, Gonna be the Twin-Tail!!) is directing the anime series at studio Geek Toys (RErideD). Masashi Suzuki (Isuca, Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King, Minami-ke: Okawari) is overseeing the series scripts, and Yuka Takashina (Dance with Devils), Yūki Fukuchi (chief animation director for Bakuon!!), and Hiroki Fukuda (key animator for I want to eat your pancreas) are designing the characters.
