The official website for the anime of Dr.Poro and Nabana Naba‘s The Vermillion Mask (Shuiro no Kamen) manga announced on Tuesday that the T.N.T rock band’s vocalist Yuya Tegoshi will voice a character in the anime’s 12th episode. (That episode will be the final episode of the anime’s first part.) T.N.T, which is also the anime’s PR ambassador, will host a special program for the anime on October 7, and a simultaneous watch party with the broadcast of the anime’s second episode on October 17.
Yomiuri TV describes the anime:
At the center of the story is Peru, a young apprentice mask maker who loses control under the influence of a cursed mask, slaying both his master and comrades in a tragic outburst. Wracked with guilt, Peru sets off on a journey to destroy the legendary masks his master once crafted, crossing paths with unlikely allies and deadly foes. What unfolds is a gripping battle for redemption, as both the fate of Peru’s soul and the world itself hang in the balance.
