'3D Kanojo: Real Girl' Premiere Date, Latest News: Sayaka Kanda Joins Cast; Official Broadcast Schedule Revealed
An official broadcast schedule has been announced for the upcoming Japanese romance comedy anime series, "3D Kanojo: Real Girl." The series is based on the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Mao Nanami.
Additionally, it has also been recently revealed that Sayaka Kanda will be providing the voice of the in-universe anime character named Ezomichi, who is the hero of the "Magical Girl Ezomichi" anime series that the main protagonist likes. Kanda will also be lending her voice to the same character in the upcoming live-action film adaptation that's due out this fall.
The series will consist of 12 episodes and will also feature the voices of Teppei Uenishi as Hikaru "Tsuttsun" Tsutsui and Yuu Serizawa as Iroha Igarashi. Tsuttsun is described as an unsociable, otaku high school boy who loves virtual reality more than he does real life. On the other hand, Iroha is the kind of girl who can be rather showy, popular, and is without a doubt a beautiful "real girl."
