So, ah… yeah. That… was a trailer.

Earlier today, the official Alice of Alice anime website updated with a new cast member and trailer. We break the details down below:

Trailer

The minute-long trailer offers a look into the daily lives of Rise and Airi, which includes baking cakes, bathing together, and apparently some unorthodox (read: NSFW) wake-up techniques.

Cast

Aina Suzuki will play Yamirii in the series. A visual for the character was also released, which you can check out below. The character debuted in a drama CD.

Alice or Alice hits Japanese TV on April 4. HIDIVE will stream the show as part of their spring simulcast lineup.

Kosuke Kobayashi was tapped to direct the project at studio EMT Squared, with Naoko Kuwabara providing character designs. Saeka Fujimoto (Ameiro Cocoa Series Ame-con!!, The Highschool Life of a Fudanshi) is writing the show’s scripts.

Petit Milady, a vocal group made up of Aoi Yuuki and Ayana Taketatsu, will perform the show’s opening theme song.

The confirmed voice cast includes:

  • Yoshisato: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka
  • Rise: Ayane Sakura
  • Airi: Rina Hidaka
  • Maco: Natsumi Takamori
  • Coco: Ayaka Suwa
  • Kisaki: Sora Tokui
  • Ruha: Saori Oonishi
  • Kabi Usagi: Hiyori Nitta
  • Alpaca-san: Hiyori Nitta

All of the female cast members are reprising their roles from the previously released Drama CD.

Riko Korie’s Alice or Alice manga launched as a one-shot in the pages of Comic Alive in 2013. The project was expanded into a full series in the publication later that year. The title ran in Comic Alive untiil 2015, when it was moved to Comic Cune. The title currently spans two collected volumes, with the most recent hitting stores in July 2016.

Sentai Filmworks holds the rights to the title. They describe it as:

What happens when a big brother idolizes his little twin sisters? All sorts of mischief that’s what! Meet Rise and Airi, twin sisters who love to hang out with their friends, go to cute pastry shops and annoy their big brother. Watch as these adorable pint-size girls learn to navigate through life while making sure their brother doesn’t go too over the top.
