The manga series Chi: Chikyu no Undo ni Tsuite (Chi: About the Movement of the Earth) is getting an anime adaptation. Studio Madhouse (One Punch Man, Black Lagoon, Death Note) will be in charge of the production.
The announcement was made on the 27th issue of the Weekly Big Comic Spirits. The manga author, Uoto, drew a special illustration to commemorate the announcement:
“I remember well how I used to pass by Madhouse every week when I went to my friend’s house in Nakano a few years ago. At the time, I never dreamed that my series would be animated there. I am deeply moved. I’m looking forward to it.”
