As the series title suggest, the plot involves the pictured main casts of 5 characters as they first appeared in 3-dimensional (i.e. real-lives) sense; then by some warped plot-twist, are all simultaneously whipped into a fantasy 2-dimensional anime world and appear as their anime-boys counterparts! The series will have both 2D and 3D parts and the acting-plus-voice casts for the five main characters have just been announced! Let’s take a look:
