Other cast members’ best known roles are likely as Mushoku Tensei’s Eris Boreas Greyrat, Kiznaiver’s Yoshiharu Hisomu, and as Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!’s Anna Yanami, respectively. As of this article’s writing, this seems to be the full cast list for the Muzik Tiger anime series.
STUDIO MUZIK is credited for the original work, while TOHO animation STUDIO is animating the series with Kazunori Minagawa and Miki Minagawa directing the anime. The pair are also in charge of animation, with Toshizo Nemoto writing the scripts, Hiroaki Tsutsumi composing the anime’s music, and Kazuki Kuwahara serving as sound director. Shinei Animation and Daewon Media are producing the project.
Daewon Media has previously stated that, with this anime, it aims to expand the franchise’s audience beyond its South Korean Generation MZ (Millennial/Generation Z) core fanbase. The anime’s English website describes the story as follows:
“In the Muzik Forest, by a beautiful lake, live three tigers—Toffee, Teeffee, and Taffee— along with a mouse named Willy and a moon rabbit called Porumee.
They lead a carefree life, not working, but every day is filled with fun and fascinating moments.”
