The anime adaptation of Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru had its cast announced recently and has been setting the stage for its fall debut. Now that part of the puzzle is detailed a bit more as the broadcast premiere has been scheduled for October 7th, 2015 on Tokyo MX, which is pretty much the starting point for most shows. it’ll roll out from there to a few other networks the same day and then across other regional locations in the days following. Accompanying the announcement is a new key visual for the series.

The staff for the show has Makoto Kato directing it at studio TROYCA based on scripts by Takayo Ikami. Makoto Bessho is serving as the assistant director while Michio Sato is on board as the character designer and chief animation director.

• Masako Isobe as Housekeeper / Ume Sawa
• Hiroki Takahashi as Hiroki Utsumi
• Akira Ishida as Itsuki Isozaki

The light novels come from Shiori Ota and the work translates as A Corpse is Buried Under Sakurako’s Feet. The property originally appeared on a Japanese writing community site a few years ago and Kadokawa picked up the property in 2013, with the seventh volume releasing this week in Japan. It’s gotten illustrations by Tetsuo and there’s been three radio dramas for it as well, giving it a pretty decent reach overall. With mystery shows often doing well in general and seemingly always having an audience in Japan, it’s expected this one will have a pretty solid staff to it when the details are revealed.

Plot concept: Shoutarou Tatewaki, a high schooler living in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, meets Sakurako Kujou, a bone-loving ojou-san who has an ability to analyze specimen. Because of meeting her, he has to accompany her to various cases.
