posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The official website for the anime of anniversary on Tuesday. The new project is titled "Yuruyuri," — pronounced "Yuruyuri ten." The "," or "ten" is a wordplay on the English word "ten" and the Japanese term for a punctuation mark.
The crowdfunding campaign will launch on December 25, and will run until February 15. The backer rewards for the campaign include exclusive CDs with the anime's new opening and ending theme songs, a Blu-ray Disc of the OVA (limited to the crowdfunding campaign), limited event tickets, exclusive booklets, and a shikishi (illustration board) drawn and signed by Namori (for one winner of his or her favorite character).
Pony Canyon is credited as music producer.
Suzuko Mimori all reprise their roles as Akari Akaza, Kyōko Toshinō, Yui Funami, Chinatsu Yoshikawa, Ayano Sugiura, Chitose Ikeda, Sakurako Ōmuro, and Himawari Furutani, respectively.
Namori launched the Yuruyuri manga in 2008, and shut down in 2013.
The manga centers on four fun-loving schoolgirls who take over the former room of a tea ceremony club for their own "Goraku-bu" (amusement club).
The manga inspired three main television anime seasons that released the first two anime seasons on home video in North America.
Namori is the character designer for Release the Spyce, an ongoing original television premiere on January 12.
