by In addition to manga and light novels, the anime that will start broadcasting in the summer of 2024 will be based on various sources, such as games and theatrical productions. Now that there is still time until the broadcast, it would be a good idea to get in touch with the original work and raise your expectations.
“Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin” (game) The anime “Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin,” which will start broadcasting on the TV Tokyo network on July 6, 2024, is based on a Japanese-style action RPG released in 2020. The original game is characterized by a part where you grow rice to improve the main character’s status, “Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin,” while exploring dungeons.
The rice cultivation was so authentic that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’ website played the role of a strategy site, and it was so popular that it was called the “Reiwa rice riot” because it was sold out one after another, and it attracted a lot of attention. Those who have already played the game have expressed their expectations for the anime version, saying, “There will probably be some eating scenes, so it will be a late-night food terrorism anime,” “The preview PV showed the final development, so I’m looking forward to seeing the story properly,” and “I’ll play it again before the anime airs.”
The animation is produced by PAWORKS, also known for its beautiful background art. The setting is Hinoe Island, which is full of nature, and the scenery of the four seasons is also attractive. “Little Citizen Series” (Mystery Novel), one of the masterpieces of Honobu Yonezawa, a severe mystery writer who wrote the popular “Hyouka” (“Series”) produced by Kyoto Animation in 2012, will also be broadcast as an anime in the summer of 2024.
This work is a story about the protagonist, “Kobato Jogoro,” who aims to be an inconspicuous “little citizen” due to a bitter experience in the past, and the heroine, “Osanai Yuki,” who gets caught up in various everyday mysteries. It has been announced that the series will be based on “Spring Limited Strawberry Tart Incident,” which depicts the first semester of the first year of high school, and “Summer Limited Tropical Parfait Incident,” which represents the summer vacation of the second year of high school.
There are happy voices such as “I’m pleased that it’s being made into an anime because it’s a series I’ve loved since I read it when I was a student,” and “I hope that it will be a hit and that the sequel will be made into an anime if possible.” The “Little Man Series” will be broadcast on TV Asahi from July 2024.
“Delico’s Nursery” (Theatrical production) “Delico’s Nursery,” the latest work in the famous theatrical original output “TRUMP,” which depicts a story of vampires and humans correcting each other while being at odds in a magnificent worldview, is scheduled to be broadcast in the summer of 2024. As with the existing series, playwright Kenichi Suemitsu is responsible for this work’s original story, series composition, and script. Fans of the series have been expressing their expectations, saying, “I definitely love this one,” and “If you get hooked, please watch the previous series as well.”
In addition, the voice actors who play the four main characters, including Masakazu Morita, Katsuyuki Konishi, Hiro Shimono, and Takuya Sato, are also very luxurious, which is a factor in the expectations even before the broadcast. “Delico’s Nursery” is a story about the four heads of the vampire aristocratic families, Delico, Fura, Lorca, and Clasico, tasked with solving a serial murder case and struggling to raise their children.
The comedy element of being tossed around by unfamiliar childcare, the suspense of chasing the murder case, and the mystery element can be enjoyed with beautiful character designs and majestic music, a significant feature that cannot be found in other works. In commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the “TRUMP” series, past works will be screened in theaters for a limited time from May 17. If you touch on the past works in advance, you can get more into the worldview. “Delicious Nursery” will be broadcast on the TOKYO MX series in July 2024.
