Coming across as an adult version of Working Buddies, a new series is set for the winter 2019 season with Rinshi!! Ekoda-chan. This comes from the original manga by Yukari Takinami which ran from 2005 to 2014 across eight volumes. For this adaptation they’re going in a different route as each episode will be bringing in a wholly different team, with twelve different directors slotted for it and different actors, character designers, and even animation studios.
The director’s list as revealed through the visual includes:
- Gisaburō Sugii
- Ryousuke Takahashi
- Akitarō Daichi
- Tomomi Mochizuki
- Shin Misawa
- Takeo Takahashi
- Yoshitomo Yonetani
- Osamu Kobayashi
- Masayuki Kojima
- Akira Shigino
- Hiroshi Nagahama
- Koji Morimoto
Plot Concept: Ekoda, who works various jobs, explores the city nightlife. While she has a boyfriend, she is more into casual relationships than taking it seriously. She considers popular girls (which she labels “birds of prey”) her natural enemy.
