The first anime was directed by Masaaki Yuasa, who’s known forDevilman Crybaby,Mind Game,orPing Pong. Masaaki Yuasa also directedLife is Short, Walk On Girl,a movie also based on a novel by Tomohiiko Morimi. It’ll be interesting to see how the new sequel fares without Yuasa directly directing the show himself. It’s very likely he’ll work on it eiher way, seeing Yuasa is the cofounder of Science Saru in the first place.
