On June 10th, “Robot Day,” the second key visual and third cast for the TV anime “Mecha-Ude,” which will begin airing in October 2024, were released.

“Mecha Ude” is an original animation work directed and conceived by animation artist “Okamoto” and produced by the up-and-coming animation production company “TriF Studio” from Fukuoka.
The story depicts the adventures and battles of Hikaru, a middle school boy living an ordinary life, and Alma, an arm-type mechanical lifeform called a “Mecha-Ude” that can become active by “delising” (bonding) with a human.

The second key visual, which has just been released, depicts the heroine Aki and her twin sister Fubuki standing back to back, with the mysterious Mecha-Ude Amaryllis creeping ominously towards Hikaru Alma behind them. The image expresses the relationship between Aki and Fubuki and their respective feelings, and is filled with a different charm to the work from the first key visual.

Along with the character visuals, the cast for Fubuki and Amaryllis was also announced. Aoi Yuki will play Fubuki, and Yoko Hikasa will play Amaryllis. Comments from the two have also arrived.

With just four months left until the broadcast of the TV anime “Mecha-Ude,” please keep an eye out for future updates.

Comment from Aoi Yuki

“Mecha Ude” is a work that depicts not only partnerships between humans, but also partnerships with Mecha Ude. Please look forward to seeing what kind of partnership Fubuki and Amaryllis will have. Please look forward to the broadcast!!

Comment from Yoko Hikasa

I’m Yoko Hikasa, and I’ll be playing the role of Amaryllis.
I felt the passion of the staff who had been working on this project for many years, from the planning stage onwards, and I gave my all to the dubbing.
Partners come in many different forms.
The shape of this amaryllis is just like a real flower. See where her “chatter” as it is said in the flower language will lead!
