“DARK MACHINE THE ANIMATION” is scheduled to be broadcast on Fuji TV this year. This is a completely new original anime by DARK MACHINE, a cross-media project of e-sports games and anime. Set in a near-future Japan where Chiba has separated from the Kanto region due to rapid sea level rise, the story depicts the growth of the main character, Kairi, who challenges the e-sports game ``Dark Machine'' in search of his own survival and reason for survival, and the e-sports team he belongs to. Goro Taniguchi is the creative producer of the anime. Hidetaka Tenjin is the mechanical designer, Kazuo Terada is the director, and Production +h. is in charge of animation production.

The four people announced as additional cast members are the rival team of Kairi's team ``CARBUNCLE,'' and they are the characters who hold the key to the story. Okitsu will play the role of Myojin, the leader of the e-sports team ``GREAT CLUSTER'' who takes an interest in Kairi and becomes deeply involved with her, while Suzuki will play the role of Ryo, the leader of the e-sports team ``Arudabil'' who often clashes with Kairi and the others. In addition, Nakamura and Horikane will play Kinji and Hill, Ryo's team members and childhood friends, respectively. New scene cuts include the serious expressions of the members of "CARBUNCLE" playing "Dark Machine" and the heated machine battle.
