posted on by Karen Ressler
The official website for the "life-advice television anime" Jinsei (La Bonne Vie) unveiled a promotional video, the main cast, and color character designs on Wednesday.
Rino: Jinsei. This program is brought to you by the Prime Minister's office. An animation provided by the Minister of Education...
Ikumi: No it's not!
Rino: I'm Rino Endō. I'm in charge of scientific matters.
Fumi: I'm Fumi Kujō. I'm in charge of liberal arts.
Ikumi: I'm Ikumi Suzuki, and I'm the physical education specialist! I'm fast!
Fumi: The first question is from Keiichiro Kawaguchi in Tokyo...
Rino: I feel like I've heard that name before...
Fumi: Ahem! I'm going to read it! Um... “I've been requested to do an anime about a light novel in which all the characters do is just sit around and answer questions to life problems, and I'm at a loss.”
Rino: Well, that sucks.
Fumi: “... And all three girls are weirdos.”
Rino: Objection! I am a mature woman.
Fumi: I understand your feelings, but we don't have time, so please give an answer.
Ikumi: It's guts! Even if you're at a loss, if you have guts, you can still sell three hundred million copies of Blu-rays!
Rino: That kind of crazy number is impossible to reach.
Fumi: What kind of jab at what she said was that!?
Ikumi: Well, anyway, the TV animation of answering life questions, Jinsei is starting in July 2014! That's what I've heard.
Fumi: According to my fortune-telling, it looks like it will get quite interesting.
Rino: I won't accept such things as fortune-telling!
Ikumi: Whatever, but cheer us on, OK?
Text: Even if it's slow-paced, it's life!!
The story centers around Yūki Akamatsu, a boy who joins the staff of his school's second newspaper. The editor-in-chief Ayaka Nikaidō immediately assigns him to the life (Jinsei) advice column.
