Kōji Yanagi's Joker Game Novels Get TV Anime Adaptation

 

Ghost in the Shell: New Movie director, Production I.G to adapt spy novel

 

The September issue of Kadokawa's Monthly Newtype magazine will announce on Monday that Kōji Yanagi's Joker Game spy mystery novel will receive a TV anime adaptation. The project will also launch a website and an official Twitter account.

 

Sinopse

 

The original novel is set in 1937, before World War II begins in earnest. Lieutenant Colonel Yūki of the Imperial Japanese Army forms the "D Agency," an army intelligence outfit under his command and tutelage. Army General Staff attaches Lieutenant Sakuma to observe the unit's performance. D Agency casts a wide net to find agents beyond Japanese military personnel, and Yūki establishes D Agency's tenets, which go against IJA doctrine: "Don't kill, don't get killed, don't get captured." With this, Yūki trains a team of operatives who conduct missions against domestic and foreign powers.

Cast + Characters + Designs

 

Kenyuu Horiuchi as Lt. Col. Yūki
He is an IJA spymaster, and the founder of the spy training school D Agency. He is often called by the moniker "Demon King," and he possesses boundless intelligence. He was once an excellent operative himself. Rumors say that his signature white glove and walking stick are borne from a botched operation in a foreign country, where his fellow operative betrayed him, and he was captured and tortured, but the details are unclear. Many have attempted to see if he is truly an ally, but all have met with failure.

Tomokazu Seki as Lt. Sakuma
He is a first lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army. Under orders from Col. Mutō, his CO, he is transferred to the newly minted and classified D Agency to report on its progress to the Army General Staff. What he finds when he inspects the members of D Agency shocks him. He is a straight-arrow officer, for whom the unrestrained and undisciplined attitudes of D Agency operatives are a source of frequent resentment.

Hiro Shimono as Miyoshi
He is a condescending narcissist with a sarcastic attitude. His body language is often conspicuous, and he constantly looks down on his peers. He volunteered to be D Agency's wetworks man, alongside Kaminaga.

Ryohei Kimura as Kaminaga
He is a notorious playboy, and at first glance, he may seem to be needlessly frivolous. But he actually has a high sense of pride, and he stands by whatever he says. He volunteered to be D Agency's wetworks man, alongside Miyoshi.

Yoshimasa Hosoya as Odagiri
He graduated from a military school and went straight to the Imperial Japanese Army Academy. He is commissioned, with a rank of second lieutenant, and is thus unique among the D Agency members. He is taciturn, and rarely smiles. He always seems like he is hiding something apart from the circumstances of his upbringing, and he distances himself from the other operatives.

Toshiyuki Morikawa as Amari
He is the oldest person among all D Agency operatives, along with Kaminaga. He has a likable, sociable, and supportive personality, and so the operatives treat him as an older brother. He is free-spirited, and not liable to get bogged down in details. He is used to dealing with women.

Yuuki Kaji as Hatano
He is the youngest operative in D Agency. He has an undeniable charm that belies a sense of inner pride that sometimes crosses over into impudence. He is a clever man, and a martial arts master.

Jun Fukuyama as Jitsui
He has a friendly personality, and can tell that many things weigh on the mind of Lt. Sakuma. While he often declines to take sides in disputes, and is extremely polite, he has also demonstrated a cruel and sadistic side directed toward his enemies.

Kazuya Nakai as Fukumoto
He is the tallest D Agency operative. He has a tendency to be a bit slow in action, and is careful not to show overt emotion. He is close to the equally silent Odagiri. He loves to cook, and often serves as de-facto chef to the operatives.

Takahiro Sakurai as Tazaki
He is a fine and gentle young man with an intellectual air about him. He is calm and collected, and is often mistaken for someone older than he actually is. When he's thinking, he has a tendency to grab any nearby small object and do hand tricks with it.

Kenjiro Tsuda as Jirō Kamō
He is a person who is attentive and self-conscious about his appearance, but is serious and devoted to his duties. He is a competitive-level chess player.

Tesshô Genda as Col. Mutō
He is an Imperial Army colonel. He detests the existence of Lt. Col. Yūki's D Agency.

Kentarou Tone as John Gordon
He is an extreme Japanophile. The Imperial Army suspects him of espionage for stolen communication ciphers.

Nobuyuki Hiyama as Alan Lelunier
He is a brave French citizen, and a member of a French Resistance cell fighting the Wehrmacht.

Ryota Takeuchi as Jean Victoire
He is a French citizen, and like Alan, is a French Resistance member. He is brawny and physically strong.

Shizuka Itou as Marie Torres
She is a French citizen and Resitance member who conducts missions along with Alan and Jean. She is a freckled beauty with auburn hair.

[ladyxzeus 1333]

Nos planos para ver

[H78 1155]

1 episódio lançado

 

Movido

[Cata or Shane 892]

O anime mais promissor desta season, na minha opinião. Até agora estou positivamente impressionada com o inglês do Gordon, com a animação e arte e por tudo o que até agora foi apresentado. Quem me dera que os episódios todos já estivessem disponíveis x'D

[Lau-kun 839]

Interessante, personagem principal chato tough

[Cata or Shane 892]

Duvido que ele não evolua enquanto personagem. Estou super entusiasmada com isto. Há imenso tempo que um anime não tinha este impacto em mim x'D

[H78 1155]

A op está algo de interessante

 

adoro-o a musica é diferente!!

[Tanuki no Gokei 154]

Espionagem? Contem comigo!

 

O Sakuma representa bem um certo tipo de magalas que é estúpido como tudo mas pensam que são superiores aos outros. Espero que morra brevemente!

[fagn 485]

É o anime da season que me cativou mais, a ver se mantém o nível até o final.

[Bob Ross 920]

Não achei nada de especial, honestamente. Gostei de algumas analogias e o facto disto ir ter uma base mais factual, mas nada de mais. A personagem principal irrita-me como tudo, mas creio que isso é algo que faça parte da plot e ele não permanece o mesmo conas o resto dos episódios.

[Cata or Shane 892]

Não o achei nada conas neste 2º episódio.

[Toua 732]

Está bacano.

 

(y)

[Cata or Shane 892]

Isto é tão bom!!!!!!!!

[Lau-kun 839]

Gostei, mas preferia ver uma missão sem amnésia, para ver todas as skills dele em ação

[Tanuki no Gokei 154]

Excelente episódio!

 

 

Eu aprendi este pequeno truque na tropa. É a primeira vez que o vejo a ser usado em anime, fiquei surpreendido!

[Cata or Shane 892]

Eu soube desse truque nos mythbusters num episódio dedicado a piratas x'D

[Toua 732]

Estou a curtir bué!

 

Melhor anime da season!! unico que sigo semanalmente
