Morning Show Mysteries – Full Cast and Crew
The Japanese studio-based independent film and television company AXL has announced its latest project: a new original anime series, entitled “Morning Show Mysteries.” The eight-episode mini-series will be directed by Tomoya Takashima (Tetsuko no Tabi – Life Goes On) at the relatively young studio Yumeta Company. Original character design will be created by the prolific Ai Yazawa, who is also known for her work on Paradise Kiss, Nana, and last year’s adaptation of Gokinjo Monogatari (Neighborhood Story).
The story follows a shy young man named Satoshi Takamizawa and his motley crew of newspaper delivery boys, who attempt to solve minor and largely humorous mysteries at their local high school.
