The Tsubu Doll anime project was announced with an official website on Friday. The anime's tagline is "With the stage set for 16 girls in Sagamihara, they will fulfill their dreams in a local idol story." The anime is slated to premiere this fall.
Rather than focusing on girls aiming to become top idol, the story will show realistic girls that could exist anywhere as they devote their energy towards idol activities in Sagamihara. The Tsubu Doll members are "local idols" living in Sagamihara instead of regular idols.
