The original TV anime “Mayonaka Punch” will be broadcast on TOKYO MX in July. The preview cut, subtitle, and synopsis of the second episode, which will be broadcast and distributed sequentially from 11:00 pm today, July 15th (Monday), have been released.
This work is a story of the “rebirth” of high-tension girls who are video uploaders with a story created by the TV anime “Paripi Koumei” staff who have reunited. PAWORKS handles animation production; the director is Osamu Homma, and the series composition is dealt with by Hideaki Shirasaka, who wrote the script for “Paripi Koumei.”
The character original is by Tsukasa Kotobuki, who has worked on “Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN” and other works, and the character design is by Ryota Arima, who served as the general animation director of “The Quintessential Quintuplets.” In addition, since the series’ official abbreviation is “Mayopan,” a campaign has been launched on the 12th of every month, which is “Bread Day (Bread Eating Promotion Council),” as “Mayopan Day.”
To commemorate the release of this series’ Blu-ray box on Wednesday, November 27th, in addition to distributing free SNS icons selected from the first episode, opening, and ending videos, it has been decided to hold an online autograph session with Hasegawa Ikumi, who plays Masaki.
