Original PV to Commemorate the Decision of Animation Adaptation

Official comments from the main staff and cast members have arrived!


Original story by Nekotofu
─ It has been finally decided that "Onimai" will be adapted into a TV anime! Please tell us your thoughts and feelings.
I'm very excited that my work, which started as a doujinshi and has been nurtured over the years, has grown to such a large scale.
The day of the announcement of the anime adaptation happened to be Mihari's birthday, so we made a surprise announcement in the form of a manga as a small token of our appreciation, in the form of a series of works from Mahiro's birthday in March.
I hope this will please all of our fans. Please join me in looking forward to the broadcast date!"


■Director Shingo Fujii
─ ─ It has been finally decided that "Onimai" will be adapted into a TV anime! Please tell us your thoughts and feelings when it was decided that you would be participating in the production.
My name is Shingo Fujii, and I will be directing this project.
When I read this work, I had the impression that it would surely be a good animation work, not only as a daily life story, but also as long as the TS material could be properly depicted in the film. I have also always had a liking for TS stories, and I hope to convey the appeal of the original story and TS stories to the viewers.

This will be my first film as a director, but I hope to keep the atmosphere of the original work and work together with the staff to create a good film.

I would like to ask for your continued support for the TV anime "Ojichan ha Oshita! Please give my best regards to the TV anime "Ojisan wa oshimasama!

──It has been decided that "Onimai" will finally be adapted into a TV anime! How did you feel when you were chosen to play the role following the drama CD?
I am very excited to be a part of the anime adaptation! I am very deeply moved!
I have been involved in the drama CDs for a long time, so I am very happy to be able to "continue" to play a role. Right now, I want to congratulate the author, Nekotofu-san, who has been a great help to me a lot!"

───Please tell us about your enthusiasm for playing the character of Mahiro Oyama.
Mahiro is a girl in body, an older brother in background, and an old man with no sense of humor in his ecology! I'm surprised that I can sympathize with him even though he has a lot of information (laugh). I'm trying to be a "big brother" who can't be left alone while also respecting the naïve heart hidden in his comical appearance!

──It has been decided that "Onimai" will finally be adapted into a TV anime! How did you feel when you were chosen to appear in the series following the Drama CD?
Congratulations on the anime adaptation! I have been hoping for an anime adaptation since I was recording the Drama CD, so I am really happy. And I am happy to be back in charge of the show with all the cast members I worked with!

───Please tell us about your enthusiasm for playing the character of Mihari Oyama.
Mihari-chan is a well-built little sister who guides her brother correctly and gently wraps him up in her arms, just like a mother would!
I will do my best to convey her cuteness and kindness to everyone!
