The upcoming anime series Haifuri now has its first promotional video out and it’s a pretty fun one that serves to reveal the main cast of characters – just not the actors yet. The show’s scheduled for the spring 2016 anime season and previously revealed the main staff. The show will be directed by Yuu Nobuta based on the overall series composition from Reiko Yoshida, who is also working on the scripts. The original character designs come from Atto and are being adapted by Naoto Nakamura, who is also serving as the chief animation director. Production IMS is behind the animation.
A manga adaptation will be running as well from Kanari Abe.
Plot concept: With Japan having developed as a maritime nation, it became necessary to have specialized schools to teach skills essential to protecting the sea. The setting is one such all-girls school. The girls who enroll here study to become “bloomer maids,” through classroom instruction and teaching of practical skills.
“Bloomer maids” are women who pursue the ocean for their professional occupation. They live by the motto “In the sea we live, the sea we protect, and by the sea we go.” They must excel in their studies, but must also adopt an international mindset. They are the “Elite of the Sea,” and are expected to be knowledgeable of the customs and cultures of other countries as well as their own.
