You know, I still have to know: can this guy still play Crossy Road?
Earlier today, Funimation announced that they will stream In Another World With My Smartphone as part of their Summer 2017 SimulDub lineup. The series will launch on FunimationNow on July 30, at 4:00PM Eastern (1:00PM Pacific).
In Another World With My Smartphone is based on Patora Fuyuhara and illustrator Eiji Usatsuka’s light novels of the same name. Yuji Yanase (Himegoto, Onsen Yōsei Hakone-chan) is directing the series at Production Reed, with the team of Toshihide Masutate (Elf Princess Rane, Papillon Rose), Masahiro Sekuguchi, and Miyako Nishida (Rainbow Days) providing character designs. Natsuko Takahashi (My Love Story!!, Long Riders!) is in charge of series composition.
J-Novel Club currently holds the rights to the original novel series. They describe the title as:
After a freak accident involving some lightning winds up zapping him dead, 15-year-old Mochizuki Touya wakes up to find himself face-to-face with God. “I am afraid to say that I have made a bit of a blunder…” laments the old coot. But all is not lost! God says that he can reincarnate Touya into a world of fantasy, and as a bonus, he gets to bring his smartphone along with! So begins Touya’s adventure in a new, anachronistic pseudo-medieval world. Friends! Laughs! Tears! Inexplicable Deus ex Machina! He sets off on a journey full of wonder as he absentmindedly travels from place to place, following whatever goal catches his fancy. The curtains lift on an epic tale of swords, sorcery, and smartphone apps!
