The official website for the anime adaptation of Ira Ishida's novel series Ikebukuro West Gate Park began streaming the first English-subtitled promotional video. Kentarō Kumagai narrates the end of the video in character as Makoto.
The crime series is set in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district, specifically in the area known as Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Kōen (referred to by locals as "Ikebukuro West Gate Park," hence the English title). The story revolves around Makoto Majima, the son of a local fruit vendor, who is known as "Ikebukuro's Troubleshooter." He helps everyone, from his friends to local street fighters, in resolving various incidents.
The anime's premiere was postponed to October due to the impact of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on production. The anime was originally scheduled to premiere in July.
