The official website of the Mars Red television anime announced the main cast on Wednesday. Each character belongs to a unit within the Japanese army called "Code Zero," a group of vampires tasked with tracking down other vampires causing a mysterious crisis. A first promotional video revealing the new cast and characters was also released. The series is scheduled to air in 2021.

Shutaro Kurusu: Tasuku Hatanaka (Koutetsujou no Kabaneri)
Takeuchi: Akira Ishida (Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu)
Suwa: Kenichi Suzumura (Owari no Seraph)

Ishida and Suzumura are reprising their roles as Takeuchi and Suwa, respectively, from the 2013 and 2015 stage productions of Mars Red.

Kouhei Hatano (Freezing Vibration assistant director) is directing the series at Signal.MD. Other previously announced staff includes series composer and script writer Junichi Fujisaku (Blood+) and character designer Yukari Takeuchi (Norn9: Norn+Nonet).

The military vampire series is based on Bunou Fujisawa's stage reading play of the same name. Funimation will co-produce the anime series. A manga adaptation by Kemuri Karakara, the anime's original character designer, began in Comic Garden on January 4.
