The publisher Kadokawa announced last Friday that the Bullbuster franchise will receive an anime adaptation, set to release in 2023.
The confirmed voice cast is as follows:
- Asami Seto as Arumi Ikaidō
- Yūki Takada as Miyuki Shirogane
- Shinichiro Miki as Kōji Tajima
- Shōya Chiba as Tetsurō Okino
- Ken Uo as Kintarō Kataoka
- Taiten Kusunoki as Ginnosuke Mutō
The Bullbuster franchise began as a concept design book distributed at the COMITIA Dōjinshi convention in 2017. In October 2018, Nakao started publishing a novel based on it on the Kakuyomu website, which was quickly picked up by Kadokawa. The first physical volume was released in December 2018, followed by a second volume in September 2019, both featuring illustrations by Kubonouchi.
A young engineer named Okino Tetsurou, who developed the new Bullbuster robot, is transferred to Hato Industries, a pest extermination company. There, the company and its president, Tajima Kouji, face a mysterious life form called "Kyoujuu." As a small business always strapped for cash, Hato must cover all expenses, such as fuel and pilot labor, on its own. And, of course, failure is not tolerated. The company is constantly torn between its ideals of eradicating the Kyoujuu and economic reality.
