428 Anime Announced

Anime studio P.A. Works (true tears) will produce an anime adaptation (tentatively, a TV series) of Sega and Chunsoft’s Nintendo Wii visual novel game 428 ~Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de~. The production will be directed by Sword of the Stranger director Masahiro Ando. Author Kinoko Nasu and original game character designer Takashi Takeuchi, both affiliated with game developer Type-Moon, will also be involved in the development of the anime. Type-Moon is also producing a bonus anime scenario for the game.

The 428 game, scheduled for Japanese release on December 4th, tells a present-day story of a detective, a young man, a virus researcher, a freelance writer, and a cat mascot character brought together by bizarre events with worldwide implications in Tokyo’s Shibuya district.
