Aniplex of America Launches Official Site for Super Kawaii Working Comedy BLEND-S Plus More Details on Collaboration Café Event
BLEND-S site officially open for business plus more details on collaboration event with Café Dulce!
SANTA MONICA, CA (September 22, 2017) – Aniplex of America has officially launched the English site for fall working comedy, BLEND-S, featuring the second promotional video. The anime, which features the tagline “Everything's a treat - even being stomped on” is based on Miyuki Nakayama's popular 4-panel manga series by the same name. BLEND-S features a colorful cast of characters working at Café Stile, where the waitresses must play a specific typecast role. These include familiar female anime archetypes such as the tsundere, idol, little sister (or imouto) and the super sadist, known as do-S. Produced by the acclaimed studio A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online, anohana~The Flower We Saw That Day~), BLEND-S has signed on Yosuke Okuda (High School Fleet) for Character Designer and Ryoji Masuyama (Gurren Lagann, Occultic;Nine) as Director. BLEND-S is scheduled to premiere on October 7th.
The newly launched site features a character page highlighting the characters within the anime. In addition to the 3 main characters Maika (super sadist), Kaho (tsundere), and Mafuyu (imouto), visitors to the site will get a first glimpse of the other staff at Café Stile including Miu (oneesan), Hideri (idol), Dino (manager), and Koyo (kitchen). The second PV features BLEND-S' opening theme song titled “Bon Appéti~t♥S” sung by the 3 main voice cast members (Azumi Waki, Akari Kito, and Anzu Haruno), who make up the girl group “Blend · A” (pronounced Blend Ace).
To commemorate the premiere of BLEND-S, Aniplex of America will be partnering with Café Dulce in Little Tokyo (Los Angeles, CA) for a collaboration event where they will be giving away special collaborative donuts to the first 50 customers who show that they like the BLEND-S Facebook page at Café Dulce. Guests will also receive a commemorative BLEND-S x Café Dulce collaboration coaster and mini-poster with purchase of any beverage and they show they like the BLEND-S Facebook page. More details will follow on the official BLEND-S Facebook page at: Facebook.com/BlendS.USA.
