The well-loved books written by Yugo Aosaki are being adapted into an anime series called Undead Murder Farce, and several new characters and members of the cast have been released! Shinichiro Miki, best known for his role as Roy Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Masaki Aizawa, best known for his role as Eiji Date in Hajime no Ippo, have recently been cast in the role of a highly famous investigator and his partner in the mystery. Both of these characters will be in action when the anime series begins in July of this year!
Not familiar with the Undead Murder Farce anime? Here's a quick summary to bring you up to speed:
The 19th century — a world inhabited by vampires, golems, werewolves and other paranormal creatures. Immortal beauty and disembodied head Aya Rindo, along with half-human-half-demon "Demon Killer" Tsugaru Shunichi and her loyal maid Shizuku Hasei, travels through Europe as supernatural detective "The Cage User," solving supernatural mysteries while she searches for her lost body.
