I hope this captures the same energy as the Yorozuya crew did.

Earlier today, an official website and Twitter account opened their doors to announce that a new anime project, titled RoboHachi, is in the works. The first cast and crew, plus a visual were revealed for the project.

We break the details down below.

Key Visual

The image features lead characters Robbie and Hachi standing in front of a grand spacecraft, which is orbiting the Earth.
