Funimation Adds elDLIVE To SimulDub Lineup


The sci-fi series with the crazy name is getting the SimulDub treatment!

Earlier today, Funimation announced that elDLIVE will join their Winter simuldub lineup. The series will kick off on FunimationNow on January 26, at 8:00PM Eastern. As of press time, no casting details have been announced.

Anime News Network reports that Funimation’s website is inaccurate, though, and that the dub will début on February 2 at 9:00PM Eastern.

elDLIVE is based on Akira Amano’s (Reborn!) manga of the same name. Takeshi Furuta (The Comic Artist and His Assistants, Utano?Princesama Legend Star) will direct the show at Studio Pierrot, with Seung Ah Han providing character designs. Toshimitsu Takeuchi (Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold, Weiß Survive R ) is in charge of series composition.

Crunchyroll is currently streaming elDLIVE as part of their Winter simulcast lineup. They describe the show as:

Middle school student Chuta Kokonose has heard a voice in his head ever since he can remember. When a strange creature recruits him to the space police force, he learns that the source of the voice is a Monitalien, a symbiotic creature who is living inside his body! Now Chuta must prove his mettle to his cold-hearted coworker, Misuzu, and the rest of the department by protecting the universe from otherworldly criminals.
