The official website for Yūki Yūna wa Yūsha de Aru Churutto!, a short anime based on the Yūki Yūna wa Yūsha de Aru Hanayui no Kirameki (Yuki Yuna Is a Hero: A Sparkling Bouquet) smartphone game, revealed on Tuesday that the anime will premiere on April 9 at "about 25:50" (effectively, April 10 at 1:50 a.m.) on the "Super Animeism" programming block on MBS, TBS, and their affiliates. The anime will also run on AT-X.
Project 2H is credited with the original work, and Takahiro is credited with the original draft. Seiya Miiyajima (BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico) is both directing the anime and designing the characters for animation based on BUNBUN's original character designs and kotamaru's SD character designs. DMM.futureworks and W-Toon Studio are animating the shorts. Haruka is writing and overseeing the series scripts, and MONACA is composing the music.
The franchise also has the upcoming Yūki Yūna wa Yūsha de Aru Dai-Mankai no Shō (Yuki Yuna Is a Hero: The Great Full Blossom Arc) TV anime announced last August. Seiji Kishi is returning from the first Yuki Yuna Is a Hero anime to direct that anime at Studio Gokumi. Also returning are series script supervisor and script writer Makoto Uezu, original character designer BUNBUN, animation character designer and chief animation director Takahiro Sakai, and Keiichi Okabe and monaca on music. D.K. & JWWORKS are credited with concept art.
Both the Dai-Mankai no Shō television anime and the Churutto! anime shorts celebrate the franchise's fifth anniversary.
