Another anime advertising the prefecture? Judging by the way I've started to see this more and more, I think this promotion method works well.

Interesting to see that Nippon Animation will be handling this. Certainly haven't seen their name around much lately so I'm curious to see how this'll go.

Always down for more CGDCT shows!

Cute Girls Making Cute Cups? Interesting...
Well... I've never even heard of this place before, so I guess the advertising thing is working.

Not a short pls. I sort of like these kind of shows where the setting is outside of Tokyo.

This. The anime with the most potential always end up as shorts.

So this entire anime is literally just an advertisement for the city? Huh......I mean, P.A Works sort-of did it in the past but the shows that they made didn't exist just to advertise a city. It just so happened that their show's setting boosted the tourism of the cities that were featured in their shows.

I just find it a bit odd that they choose to produce an entire 24 minute 12 episode series just for the sole purpose of advertising a city.
