The anime's official website also debuted a new key visual with the tagline, "Killed, by curiosity."
The series is being produced for the 50th anniversary since Edogawa's passing. An earlier promotional video that unveiled the anime features the phrase, "The transient world is a dream. A night's dream is an illusion."
Seiji Kishi (Persona 4, Devil Survivor 2) is directing the anime at the studio Lerche (Re:␣Hamatora, Assassination Classroom). Makoto Uezu (Yumeria, Yuki Yuna Is a Hero) is writing the scripts.
Edogawa (born Taro Hirai) was a Japanese author whose work includes many mystery novels, such as Black Lizard, The Devil's CREST, and Dark Star. He passed away in 1965 at the age of 70.
