The key visual, the first PV, and additional cast information have been released from the TV anime "Plaster Boys," which will start in January 2016.



Plaster Boys" is an anime work based on the plaster idol project by Crayfish Works, KADOKAWA, and Holbein Art Materials, which has been a hot topic since its innovative concept of making plaster statues work as an idol unit. It is a unique comedy that depicts the struggles of a new idol unit consisting of four plaster statues and their manager, a new graduate from an art college. Directed by Seiki Takuno of "Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches," series composition by Michiko Yokote of "Jailhouse Gakuen," character design by Yoriko Ito, chief animation director of "Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches," and animation production by Leiden Film.

The key visual and the first PV have been unveiled, and in the PV, the plaster boys played by Tomokazu Sugita, Shinnosuke Tachibana, Jun Fukuyama, and Daisuke Ono show some idol-like lines, which is a shocking gap from the visual, which looks like a common plaster statue. Although the video is only about 45 seconds long, it has a comical finish that draws the viewer into the world of the work.

Additional cast members include Yui Makino as Mila Hanayashiki, Takaya Kuroda as Hanzo Horibe, Reina Maeda as Kinue Yamashita, and Takahiro Sakurai as Hironori Yanagisawa.
