posted on by Egan Loo
The staff for the television anime of Takuma Sakai's Heat the Pig Liver (Buta no Liver wa Kanetsu Shiro) light novel series debuted its first promotional video and first key visual Saturday. The video announces the anime's main staff and October premiere, and it also previews the voices of the main cast.
Masayuki Takahashi (assistant director on Higehiro, Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon) is directing the anime at project No.9. Deko Akao (Higehiro, Komi Can't Communicate, Flying Witch) is overseeing the series scripts, and Susumu Watanabe (Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!, Yōjo Shachō R) is designing the characters. Kenichiro Suehiro (Cells at Work!, Goblin Slayer, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-) and MAYUKO (Cells at Work! theme songs) are composing the music.
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka voices the pig, and Tomori Kusunoki voices Jess. The two reprise their roles from Dengeki Bunko's promotional video for the series from March 2020.
Sakai launched the novel series with illustrations by Asagi Tōsaka (The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy, Girly Air Force) on March 10, 2020, after winning the gold prize (effectively second place) in the 26th Dengeki Novel Prize in 2019. Kadokawa's Dengeki Bunko imprint published the seventh volume on December 9.
Minami launched a manga adaptation in Kadokawa's Dengeki Maoh magazine in August 2020. Kadokawa published the manga's fourth compiled book volume on February 27.
