Trivia / Tousouchuu: The Great Mission

• Anime First: An interesting aversion. The anime isn't based on any manga, light novel or video game, instead being an original story that borrows many elements directly from the original live action game show.
• Playing Against Type: Showtaro Morikubo voices Tomura Sawyer, a Hot-Blooded Nice Guy with a strong Big Brother Instinct. A far cry from Morikubo's usual Jerkass roles.
• Reality Subtext: The show can be seen as a parody of modern reality TV and its function in society as Bread And Circus.
