Originally airing in the fall of 2012 and the spring of 2013, Haitai Nanafa now has a home video release set for the two seasons in Japan through Flying Dog. The series, which is made up of two seasons of thirteen episode shorts that ran for about two minutes each, will be released on July 23rd and August 20th for each season respectively. The Blu-ray releases are priced at 4,800 yen each while the DVD releases are priced at 3,800 yen each.
The releases each come with a theme song CD as well as a bonus illustration card for the first press editions. On-disc extras include an unaired trailer, TV spots and commercial collection, clean ending for episode twelve and the Okinawa end card collection.
Plot concept: Nanafa Kyan lives in Okinawa with her grandmother who runs the “Kame Soba” soba shop, her beautiful older sister Nao who is in high school, and her younger sister Kokona, who is in elementary school and has a strong ability to sense the supernatural.
One day, Nanafa witnesses a seal fall off of a Chinese banyan tree, and three spirits who live in that tree are unleashed. These spirits include Niina and Raana, who are “jimunaa” spirits. The third spirit is Iina, who is an incarnation of an Okinawan lion statue. As spirits start appearing one after another, the peaceful life of Nanafa and her family begins to change.
