posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Animax Asia began streaming a commercial on Wednesday for its airing of the WWW.WORKING!! television anime series. The series will premiere on February 6, and Animax Asia will air two episodes every Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. GMT+8. The anime premiered in Japan last October.
Web-ban Working!! is a four-panel web comic spinoff of Karino Takatsu's original Working!! manga series. The manga takes place at another Wagnaria family restaurant location. In the story, Daisuke Higashida gets a job at the restaurant because of family financial difficulties, but no one who works there is normal.
Yumi Kamakura (Working!!) directed the anime at A-1 Pictures. Mayuko Nakano designed the characters and served as chief animation director. Takao Yoshioka handled series composition and Masaru Yokoyama composed the music.
Cast members Haruka Tomatsu (as Hana Miyakoshi), Yōko Hikasa (as Sayuri Muranushi), and Sora Amamiya (as Shiho Kamakura) performed the opening theme song "Eyecatch! Too much!," and cast members Yūichi Nakamura (as Daisuke Higashida), Kōki Uchiyama (as Masahiro Adachi), and Kenshō Ono (as Yūta Shindō) performed the ending theme song "Mujūryoku Fever" (Zero Gravity Fever).
Many of the anime cast members returned from a drama CD that shipped with the third manga volume, although Nana Mizuki replaced Risa Taneda as Kisaki Kondō. The cast also includes:
- Momo Asakura as Miri Yanagiba
- Ari Ozawa as Rui Nagata
- Hiro Shimono as Takuya Kōno
- Yoshimasa Hosoya as Kōki Saiki
- Kōsuke Toriumi as Kenichirō Sakaki
Takatsu posted the web manga on her own official website and Square Enix is publishing the series into compiled volumes. The limited edition of the manga's third, fourth, and fifth volumes each bundled a drama CD. The fifth volume shipped in December.
