The winter 2014 anime series No-Rin is getting closer with its DVD/BD combo release from FUNimation that’s currently scheduled for release on February 23rd, 2016 and that means we’ve now hit the time when the first English-language trailer has arrived. We got the cast list back in December but there wasn’t an accompanying promo for it with the cast so this gives us a good listen to it, the tone of the series, and some of the humor for it.

Plot Concept: When the national idol Kusakabe Yuka suddenly retired from the entertainment business, it shocked the world and it devastated teenager Hata Kosaku. Kosaku was Yuka’s biggest fan and her departure left him depressed. His classmates at the Tamo Agriculture School finally are able to get him to leave his room and attend his class, but to everyone’s amazement, Kusakabe Yuka (her stage name) comes into the class under the name Kinoshita Ringo as a transfer student. Kosaku realizes he has the once in a lifetime opportunity to get to personally know his dream girl and, together with his group of friends, try to find out why she is here and become closer than just classmates.
