With a couple of clips out of the way for Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai, which is being localized as A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepherd, FUNimation is now streaming the opening sequence to the series. And thankfully it’s one that they’ve gotten the rights to provide subtitled lyrics for, which is hit or miss when it comes to music licensing rights. The song comes from Mitsuki Nakae and is called On my Sheep.
Produced by Hoods Entertainment, the series will be directed and designed by Team Niko, which is made up of Kenichi Konishi, Tomomi Kamiya, Asami Sodeyama, Kaori Hayashi, Yu Nobuta. Series composition is handled by Kyioko Yoshimura and all of it is working off of the original story by August and character designs by Bekkankou.
The series stars Junji Majima as Kyotaro Kakei, Madoka Yonezawa as Tsugumi Shirasaki, Yuka Saito as Tamamo Sakuraba, Nozomi Yamamoto as Senri Misono, Eri Sendai as Kana Suzuki, Atsumi Tanezaki as Nagi Kodachi, Showtaro Morikubo as Ikkei Takamine, Saki Nakajima as Maho Mochizuki, Rina Sato as Miyu Serizawa, Miyu Kashiwagi as Sayumi Ureshino, Kei Mizusawa as Aoi Takigawa, Yo Taichi as Sayori Shirasaki, Taiten Kusunoki as Nanai and Satoshi Tsuruoka as Gizaemon.
Plot concept: Kyotaro Kakei is a shy student at a prestigious academy known for its massive library. The sole member of the school’s library club, Kyotaro’s always been better with books than girls – until a text message from the mysterious “Shepherd” hints that his fate will soon be changing. Life gets wild in a hurry after a vision allows Kyotaro to rescue Tsugumi, a beautiful girl who also received a text message from the “Shepherd.” Soon, Tsugumi announces her intentions to join the Library Club and, with Kyotaro’s help, make school life much more interesting! It doesn’t take long for a host of other pretty girls to follow Tsugumi’s lead and join the club in the hopes of spicing up their boring academy lives. But just who is this “Shepherd,” what does he or she have to do with the Library Club’s sudden popularity, and how in the world will Kyotaro survive being surrounded by all these girls!?
