Paranormale komedieserie”Phantom of the Idol”voegt zich bij Sentai’s zomer 2022 line-up
[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=””bookwalker_id=””cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] Sentai heeft aangekondigd dat het exclusieve rechten op de lachwekkende paranormale comedy-animeserie Spook van het idool.

De meeste idolen worden gevoed door hun liefde voor optreden voordat ze fans aanbidden. Yuya wordt echter gevoed door zijn liefde voor een gemakkelijk salaris! Yuya is de helft van het idoolduo ZINGS, maar zijn opperste luiheid (om nog maar te zwijgen van zijn minachting voor idoolfans in het algemeen) zorgt ervoor dat hij op de zwarte lijst van het bedrijf wordt gezet. In een toevallige backstage ontmoeting ontmoet hij de spookachtige Asahi, een mysterieus voormalig idool die graag haar eigen comeback wil organiseren met alle mogelijke middelen… inclusief volledige controle over Yuya’s gewillige lichaam en ernaar streven samen het beste idool ter wereld te worden! Is hun gekke samenwerking een match a made in heaven, of is het pure idolenhel? Phantom of the Idol wordt geproduceerd door Studio Gokumi (Yuki Yuna is een Hero-serie, Kin-iro Mosaic-serie) en geregisseerd door Daiki Fukuoka (Yuki Yuna is a Hero: The Washio Sumi Chapter, Danganronpa 3-regisseur). De muziek van de serie is van myu (Utawarerumono, The Legend of the Legendary Heroes). In de serie schitteren Fumiya Imai (Project SEKAI COLORFUL LIVE feat. Miku Hatsune) als Yuya Niyodo, Nao Toyama (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, MacrossΔ, Nisekoi) als Asahi Mogami, Shun Horie (Akudama Drive, Sarazanmai, Rent-a-Girlfriend ) als Kazuki Yoshino en Sho Hayami (Ascendence of a Bookworm, Bleach, Macross 7) als de verteller.
