The second promotional video for A Galaxy Next Door has confirmed an April 8 premiere date for its pilot episode. The series is directed by Ruichi Kimura at Asahi Production studios, with Gigaemon Ichikawa being in charge of the series’ scripts. Yasuka Otaki is helming character designs for the anime adaptation.

Amagakure first launched the manga in April 2020, with Kodansha USA now set to release it in English in the coming months. Kodansha handles Japanese publications of both compilation volumes and regularly serialized chapters as well. In addition to the anime premiere, a live-action series inspired by the story is set to premiere on April 3.

The currently announced cast, including latest announcements from the most recent promotional video, includes the following:

  • Taku Yashiro as Ichiro Kuga
  • Yu Wakui as Shiori Goshiki
  • Rina Endo as Machi Kuga
  • Maria Naganawa as Fumio Kuga
  • Rie Takahashi as Chihiro Ibusuki
  • Tomokazu Sugita as Masahiro Morikuni

The latest promotional video also featured the series’ opening theme, which will be “Tonari Awase” by Chinatsu Matsumoto. Crunchyroll will stream the anime as it airs, likely with a time delay between Japanese broadcast and international availability. This has been a trend with their recent simulcast properties, and will likely continue with A Galaxy Next Door.

The series will premiere on Tokyo MX at 1:30 am JST on April 9, 2023, which will translate to a release sometime during the afternoon and evening of April 8 for most international audiences. Select regions will instead see the series premiere in the extremely early morning hours of April 9, as Japanese audiences will.


Be sure to keep up with all anime, manga, film, and live-action news as 2023 progresses.
