After getting the premiere date set earlier this week, the official site for Non Non Biyori did a bit of a refresh and provided a new key visual of the main girls that definitely makes it clear that we’re most certainly in the summer season. The timing is well as, at least in my area, this is how things look and feel and it’s very refreshing – if humid! The show will make its debut on July 7th, 2015 via TV Tokyo before rolling out to other locations on July 9th with TV Aichi and TV Osaka and then satellite on July 10th through AT-X. It’s expected any simulcast will work off the main premiere date, which is the July 7th date.
Originally announced as getting the green light back in April 2014, Media Factory recently brought out the second extended promo for the show where it takes us right back to what makes the show special; beautiful backgrounds, a natural sense of the world and some very silly moment with the girls of the series. The promo clocks in at about 100 seconds and has some great visuals while reaffirming the cast and staff of the series set to a rather fun little instrumental piece.
The series is set to be directed by Shinya Kawamo based on the overall composition by Reiko Yoshida who will also be writing scripts alongside Fumihiko Shimo and Yuka Yamada. Mai Otsuka returns as the character design and the work will be produced at Silver Link.
Non Non Biyori Repeat is based on the manga by Atto that began in 2009 under Media Factory, which had its seventh compilation debut last summer. Seven Seas Entertainment has the first volume scheduled for June 30th, 2015 and the second on September 15th, 2015, which is well timed with this series broadcast. Sentai Filmworks previously licensed and released the first series.
Plot concept: The closest book store sells Jump every Wednesday, the video rental shop is ten stations down. Vegetables are left out for sale, and no one’s ever even see a lock on a house. That’s the country life they live, but these five girls at Asahigaoka Branch School are enjoying it! Enjoy the leisurely, laid-back life of these unique girls!
