The anime adaption of the hit mystery series, Ikebukuro West Gate Park, has released a brand new trailer and official release date.
The highly anticipated anime will premiere on October 6 after being postponed from July due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
THE PINBALLS provides the opening theme song “Needle Knot,” and INNOSENT in FORMAL contributes the ending theme “after song.”
Tomoaki Koshida is directing the anime at Doga Kobo. The cast includes Kentarō Kumagai as Makoto, Kouki Uchiyama as Takashi, and Reiō Tsuchida as Kyōichi.
Adapted from the novel series by Ira Ishida, the anime focuses on 20 year old Makoto Majima who acts as a mediator between rival street gangs in his town.
Gaining the name 'Troubleshooter of Ikebukuro' , Makoto soon gets involved in a troublesome case that has shaken the calm of the city.
The 15th IWGP novel volume was published last year. The series inspired a popular live-action TV series, a live-action special and a manga adaptation.
