Magic is something that people have wished for their entire lives to have. If not being able to use it, they have wished to witness it at the very least. However, it seems, Maho Studios has managed to fulfill that dream. Maho Studios is an animation studio founded in 2018. The word Maho translates to Magic in Japanese.
The studio aimed to create magical content that would entice their viewers and fulfill their dreams. Since the studio was created a short time ago, they haven’t produced a lot of anime, but all the anime they have produced are wonderful.
One such anime happens to be A Playthrough of a certain dude’s VRMMO Life. This anime began airing in October 2023 and is based on a manga under the same name. The light novel on which the manga is based was written by Shiina Howahowa. In addition to the manga and the light novel, fans have enjoyed the anime adaptation so far as well.
The manga is not yet finished and the anime has only released a couple of episodes so far. Even though only a few episodes have aired so far, fans seem to enjoy the anime in general. The animation style, background music, plot, and characters all have a major role to play in the success of the anime.
Shigeru Chiba and Satoshi Hino to join A Playthrough of a certain dude’s VRMMO Life
As mentioned earlier, A Playthrough of a certain dude’s VRMMO Life anime premiered in October 2023 and Crunchyroll is responsible for airing the anime. People enjoy anime because the plot is different from other VRMMO or game-related animes.
A Playthrough of a certain dude’s VRMMO Life tells the story of a 38-year-old man. In the anime, a new VRMMO game called One More Free Life Online is released and people start playing it. Taichi Tanaka is a regular 38-year-old who goes to the office and plays games during his free time. As an avid gamer, he tried the new VRMMO game.
However, instead of trying to live vicariously through a game, or trying to become the hero or the villain, he takes up learning a power that is deemed useless. With those powers, he tries to make potions that are very difficult to make and makes extremely delicious food that takes a lot of time. He also hunts monsters but does so with original and bizarre weapons.
The manga and the anime are dedicated to his adventures in the new game. He enjoys doing all of this and in a manner does live vicariously through the video game.
The casting of the anime was revealed earlier, but more people are added as the anime continues. Shigeru Chiba and Satoshi Hino have been confirmed to join the cast. The two will play the roles of Black and Skeleton Knight respectively. Shiba is famous for his role as Buggy in One Piece and Kuwabara in Yu Yu Hakusho.
Hino on the other hand is famous for his role as Cedric Diggory in the Japanese dub of Harry Potter. Fans are excited to have both the cast members on board.
The two will make their debut in the anime on November 13 when the seventh episode airs. The two new cast members combined with the previous cast members and the staff have only managed to increase the fans’ expectations for the future of this particular anime.
Yuichi Nakazawa, famous for his animation direction for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, is directing this anime. Maho Productions is producing the anime. Touko Machida is overlooking the scripting part and the main character design is handled by Yuko Watabe and Yuko Oba.
Saji and Miho Okasaki are singing the opening and ending themes of the anime respectively. TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND is composing the music for A Playthrough of a certain dude’s VRMMO Life.
People are excited for the new episode. They are waiting to see Chiba and Hino in action as Black and Skeleton Knight. The two characters were already popular in the manga, but the addition of the two VAs has only fueled their popularity and fans are looking forward to seeing them in the anime.
