Shouji Kawamori Reveals New Anime
Fresh off co-creating the concept for the original anime series Basquash, Shouji Kawamori now has another original anime TV series in development for an October premiere. Anymal Tantei Kiruminzuu will be a cute “heartwarming comedy” about the Mikogami sisters – Riko, Rimu, and Nagisa – who enjoy cosplaying as animals until they find a “Kirumin compact” which magically allows them to physically transform into real animals.
The series title is a complex pun. “Anymal” is evidently a combination of the English words “any” and “animal.” “Tantei” is the Japanese word for “detective.” “Kiruminzuu” is a combination of the Japanese word “kigurumi” (stuffed animal toy) and the English word “zoo.”
The anime will be collaboratively produced by Satelight, Hal Film Maker, and Korean studio JM Animation. Kawamori routinely works with Satelight. Hal Film Maker animated Oban Star Racer, which was partially directed by Basquash co-creator Thomas Romain. JM Animation is currently assisting in the animation production for Basquash. Soichi Masui (Scrapped Princess) will direct. Hal Film Maker’s Sumie Aizawa (Kemeko-DX) will provide character designs. Eriko Matsuda (Itazura na Kiss screenwriter) and Yosuke Yuki will write the scripts.

Dammmit, I hate when the talented animators are forced to do moe for money! Why can’t they just do regular hentai like that Project A-Ko guy?
“Shoujo” Kawamori? XD
I can’t understand too how Kawamori can make things like Macross, Basquash and then this king of Digi Charat whatever. The character looks cute but, to me Kawamori means mechas and stories mixed with shintoism.
To play devil’s advocate, I’m a huge fan of Kawamori’s magical girl anime Arjuna, as well as a fan of Basquash. And moe anime. So I’m quite looking forward to this.
