The official website of the television anime adapting HiRock and Shinya Komi's Ex-Arm manga revealed two additional cast and a new promo on Wednesday. The anime is scheduled to broadcast on January 11 and will stream worldwide on Crunchyroll, excluding Asia.

Cast
Through Hand: Takaya Kuroda (Maou-jou de Oyasumi)
Elmira: Azumi Waki (Shachou, Battle no Jikan Desu!)

The additional cast members are joining the previously announced main cast, which consists of Souma Saitou (Zankyou no Terror) as Akira Natsume, Mikako Komatsu (Houseki no kuni (TV)) as Minami Uezono, and Akari Kitou (Kimetsu no Yaiba) as Alma.

Komi and HiRock serialized the action sci-fi manga in Grand Jump from February 2015 to November 2017 before switching it to Shounen Jump+, where it concluded in June 2019. The duo launched a sequel manga titled Ex-Arm-Ex in Grand Jump in August that year.

I seriously feel bad for this mangaka I'm not even into Sci-Fi but I think I'll buy his manga because no one deserves this
I'd rather die a free man then live under the rules of idiots

And nobody cares,
because this is some of the worst CG animation anyone has seen in a while.

It looked better when they weren't moving,
how do you get that bad?!

I think I might watch that BNP CG show instead, at least that appears to have SOME quality

This animation is frickin gold hahaha I feel bad for laughing at this I'm sorry
I like that one shot at 0:45 where some CG lady talks in front of an audience that is clearly a static 2D drawing of an audience

It's a shame that a series that looks like this has a cool key visual

Yea, agreed. Like if the animation even looked like the key visual, i think it wouldve been fine but its CG. Anything that's CG that isn't done by Studio Orange has a high chance of being garbage.

It's not even that it's CG, if it were done by Sanzigen, Polygon, MAPPA, or most other CG series, it would look fine, but CR went with amateur hour over here

Yea, Forgot MAPPA does CG aswell. This is their first project as a studio, so ig they're still trying to kickstar, i guess?

I really do not have a good feeling about this one. But you never know. It might just be anime of the year and blow everyone away. Who knows.

Unlike the 1st PV Crunchyroll released, the 2nd PV showed signs of improvement

Hopefully this should do well in airing, otherwise Kimura deserves to be blacklisted from doing animation because of his role as director not having done so well in that project.

Adding a bunch of filters on top of the old battle animation isn't going to hide its flaws... This would look okay for a small hobbyist project but as an official anime with a budget(?), this is just unfortunate. At least this will provide many a memeable clip.

I feel sorry for the mangaka of the original work.

Did the director of Aku no Hana decide to team up with the director of God of High School? Even the people dancing by quantum leaps in Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu looked better that this...

@kira525 Berserk did better because according to ANN, Anime was still the medium unlike ex arm the major focus was motion capture and assembly to 3d animation

@KANLen09 It doesn't look that bad nonetheless
