Cooking Idol Anime Announced

The Japanese Anican Staff Blog reports on the voice acting recording of the freshly announced children’s anime television series Cookin’ Idol Ai! Mai! Main! (pronounced “Cookin’ Idol I! My! Mine!”). Similar to last year’s Moegaku 5 television series that combined educational live action and anime segments, the ten minute long Cookin’ Idol episodes will consist of an anime segment in which young girl Main teaches cooking and a live action segment in which Main’s voice actress, Haruka Fukuhara, attempts to cook the same dish featured in the anime segment.

The series will premiere on the NHK Educational network on March 30. Anime production studio NAS will produce the animation with Hiroshi Watanabe (Slayers, Orphen) directing and veteran character designer Atsuko Nakajima serving as animation director.
