One of the quieter shows in the lead-up to the winter 2016 season in terms of promotion and marketing is the anime adaptation of Ooyasan wa Shishunki!. We’re going to get a really good look at it soon, however, as Crunchyroll has announced the pickup of the show for simulcast with plans for it to debut on January 10th at 10:30am ET. Availability for the series is fantastic as it’s open to Crunchyroll members worldwide outside of Asia.
The series is set to be directed by Yuuki Ogawa working with Atsuki Shimizu who is doing the character designs and serving as the chief animation director. Seven Arcs Pictures is handling the animation for the series.
The cast at the moment is limited to just Yurika Kubo as Chie Satonaka.
The series comes from creator Ruruu Minase and it began back in 2012 in Manga Time magazine. It’s got four volumes out so far, which is pretty good compared to a number of four-panel series.
Plot concept: Ooya-san wa Shishunki! follows the antics of Chie Satonaka, a middle schooler who is a landlord. Though she appears a little girl, at times, she behaves more like a grandmother, doing all the cleaning, cooking and housework around the apartment. Despite her responsibilities, she still enjoys a normal middle school life with her friends.
