With the Japanese singles having finished up a couple of years ago and a completely under the radar release from Pony Canyon USA, Pony Canyon Japan has now set a box set release for the Etotama anime series. The show is set for a December 20th, 2017 debut where it’ll be priced at 13,000 yen. Check out the packaging design for it below.
The work comes from the manga of the same name that began in 2013 from Tooru Zekuu and Takashi Hoshi with artwork by Hiroma Hino. It’s being produced by Shirogumi Inc and Tablier communications, the series is directed by Fumitoshi Oizako and Takamitsu Hirakawa based on scripts by Deko Akao and character designs by Asami Takahashi and Satoshi Koike. The series is set to star Hiro Shimono as Takeru Tendo, Rie Murakawa as Nyaatan, Ai Ozawa as Umatan, Eriko Matsuki as Mootan, Yumiri Hanamori as Uritan, Yuka Aisaka as Usatan, Megumi Toda as Kitan and Mikoi Sasaki as Piyotan.
Plot concept: The anime’s story revolves around Nya-tan, the cat of Chinese astrology who wants to become a member of the Chinese zodiac. Nya-tan is simple and suffers from memory loss, and she tries various foolish ways to become a member. She meets Takeru Tendo, a high school student who lives alone in Akihabara, and becomes a freeloader at his house. Little by little, she gets closer to her goal.
