The official Beatless website has announced that the anime adaptation of the Satoshi Hase and redjuice novel will air on the Animeism programming block on MBS, TBS and BS-TBS Japanese TV stations. Where this involves we Western folk is the fact that Amazon Prime will be simulcasting titles in this block exclusively, which means we should get to see it around the same time, on January 12th.
Tokyo Otaku Mode serialised the novel on their website, and is still available for those wanting to see what's on the way.
