The Ganglion manga is getting an anime adaptation that will premiere on October 3 JST. A main visual and character visuals have been released.
While not described as such, the series seems to be a short anime — the AT-X channel’s webpage for Ganglion lists the episode length as being 15 minutes, and this takes the AT-X-exclusive post-episode talk segment into account.
The anime’s director is Children of the Sea and Summer Time Rendering‘s Ayumu Watanabe, who has two other upcoming anime (Witch Hat Atelier and Akane-banashi) on top of this. Other staff credits include:
• Assistant director: Ryosuke Tanaka
• Character designer and chief animation director: Shigeru Fujita (Pluto, the upcoming GATE Season 2: Tides of Conflict)
• Series composer: Tomoaki Shiono
• Animation production: studio maf
The voice actors include Yoji Ueda, Fumihiko Tachiki, Tomokazu Sugita, Aoi Koga, Yoshino Aoyama, Hikaru Tono, and Itsuji Itao.
Ganglion is a work drama whose protagonist is an employee of the titular Ganglion company, which seeks world dominance and is opposed by the hero Hopeman. The manga was serialized in Comic Yoshimoto, and a volume was released in 2009. Hisaya Shiraiwa is the author, while Takashi Itsuki is the illustrator.
