The Re:Monster anime won’t be out until April, but that’s not too far away to start teasing details on it. The ending theme song will be “Sadame” (written in Japanese to read as “fate”) and performed by duo EverdreaM. The women of EverdreaM are so excited they’ve already put out an announcement video that’s a little under a minute long. Even if you don’t understand every word they’re saying, you’ll be able to see how eager they are for the song.
The opening theme song will be titled “Into the Fire” and performed by Lee Chang-min of 2AM. It’s produced by Chansung (of 2PM, not 2AM), and AK-69.
We also know a bit about the anime’s cast: Takuya Satō plays Gobrou, Kenta Hosoda plays Gobkichi, Ai Kakuma plays Gobmi, Kana Ueda plays Gobe, and Mai Kanno plays The Redhead. It’s being made at Studio DEEN, with Takayuki Inagaki of Birdie Wing -Golf Girls’ Story- helming the project as director. The person in charge of series composition is Hiroshi Yamaguchi, who has also worked on To Heart.
Seven Seas Entertainment releases the manga version in English, and gave this description for the series:
