Yuruyuri Gets New Nachu Yachumi!+ Episodes Before Season 3's October Premiere
posted on by Egan Loo
Yuruyuri manga creator Namori announced on Saturday that the third Yuruyuri television anime season, Yuruyuri San Hai!, will premiere in October. She added that the new anime Yuruyuri Nachu Yachumi!+ will air an episode in August and another in September with new opening and ending theme songs. Finally, the earlier Yuruyuri Nachu Yachumi! original video anime will get its over-the-air television broadcast premiere on July 25. The announcements were also made at the "Nana Mori-Chū Yagai Fes" event on Saturday.
The various Yuruyuri anime projects adapt Namori's manga about four fun-loving schoolgirls who take over the former room of a tea ceremony club for their own "Goraku-bu" (amusement club).
The main staff, while different from the first two seasons, will return from the Yuruyuri Nachu Yachumi! original video anime (OVA) for the third season. Hiroyuki Hata (Recently, my sister is unusual., Kamichu!) is directing the series at TYO Animations (Samurai Warriors, Tamayura - Hitotose). Motohiro Taniguchi (Recently, my sister is unusual.) is designing the characters and serving as chief animation director. Makoto Fukami (Chotto Kawaii Iron Maiden, Psycho-Pass) is joining the staff and work with Hata on the scenario.
The main cast will also return.
The first anime series premiered in Japan in July 2011, and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired. The 12-episode sequel series Yuruyuri♪♪ premiered in July 2012, and Crunchyroll also streamed that series as it aired. The Yuruyuri Nachu Yachumi! original video anime project shipped in February, after running in theaters last November.
JManga and ALC Publishing released part of the original manga digitally in English before JManga shut down in 2013. NISA has licensed and released both previous seasons in North America.
