The winter 2018 anime series Gakuen Babysitters is having its home video release handled by Bandai Visual and they’ve sett a familiar schedule for it. While we’ve got about a month until the first volume arrives, Bandai Visual has now revealed the cover artwork for it that’ll be the same for both formats. The show is getting a seven-volume release that begins on March 23rd, 2018. With it likely to do well with women who aren’t looking at Blu-ray releases, it’s getting a DVD release as well. Both formats are listed as limited editions with the DVDs priced at 5,800 yen and the Blu-ray’s at 6,800 yen.
Shuusei Morishita directed the series based on the series composition by Yuuko Kakihara. Mina Oosawa served as the character designer with Brain’s Base handling the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Kōtarō Nishiyama as Ryūichi Kashima, Nozomi Furuki as Kotarō Kashima, Yuichiro Umehara as Hayato Kamitani, Yuko Sanpei as Taka Kamitani, Tomoaki Maeno as Yoshihito Usaida, Daisuke Ono as Keigo Saikawa, Tomoko Miyadera as Yōko Morinomiya, Ayaka Saito as Takuma Mamizuka, Atsumi Tanezaki as Kazuma Mamizuka, Konomi Kohara as Kirin Kumatsuka, and Kaede Hondo as Midori Sawatari.
The manga began in 2009 and has fifteen volumes released so far. A drama CD was produced back in 2011 and another in 2018.
Plot Concept: Ryuichi and Kotaro are brothers who lost their parents in an airplane crash. They’re taken in by the chairman of Morinomiya Academy, who lost her son and daughter-in- law in the same crash, on one condition: Ryuichi has to babysit the kids at the daycare room in the school! This room was opened to help the school’s teachers who had kids to take care of, but it suffers from a lack of staff until Ryuichi becomes the first member of the babysitter club formed to solve that problem.
