あれ？いままでのは？
あれはラブリームービーというやつで厳密にはアニメではありませんでした。今度のは本気のアニメです。新しい情報は随時報告させて頂きますのでどうぞご期待ください！ pic.twitter.com/jSEpHEdtgd— みずしな孝之 (@sinamism) April 23, 2015
It is shown before as two anime short series made by Doga Kobo which aired in Fuji TV’s living information program “Non Stop!” in 2013 and 2014 but the creator dismissed them as just “Lovely Movie”. He insisted that “This time, it’s a real anime.”
However, no further details provided as to who will be the staff for the anime adaptation or the voice casting. On a glance, this looks like a slice of life, lighthearted series featuring cute animal antics like Chii’s Sweet Home which stars a cute cat.
Hooray for animal equality.
