The debut of the Non Non Biyori: Vacation anime feature film that covers the Okinawa trip from the manga had itself a limited release that got underway on August 25th, 2018 debut. It did pretty well overall and added more theaters as time went on but now the home video side has been scheduled. The film is getting released on February 27th, 2019 where there’ll be a regular edition DVD priced at 4,800 yen and a regular edition Blu-ray at 5,800 yen. The limited edition Blu-ray is priced at 9.800 yen. The limited edition comes with a storyboard, a 35mm filmstrip, a 32-page booklet with a new manga piece by Atto, a key art booklet, and on-disc features with trailers and promos along with an audio commentary. The regular editions just have the promos and commercials with the trailers.
The first two series were directed by Shinya Kawatsura based on the overall composition by Reiko Yoshida who also wrote the scripts alongside Fumihiko Shimo and Yuka Yamada. Mai Otsuka served as the character design and the project was animated at Silver Link.

The anime is based on the manga by Atto that began in 2009 under Media Factory, which has eleven volumes so far. Seven Seas Entertainment has the North American license for the manga.
Plot concept: Even though there are still only five students who attend the remote Asahigaoka Branch School, each one of the girls already has a lifetime of wonderful experiences in the carefree Japanese countryside. Some memories may belong to just one person, like Hotaru’s recollections of her first day in Asahigaoka before she’d had a chance to meet her new friends. Other memories bring an otherwise sleepy town to life for Komari, Natsumi, Renge, or even Suguru.
