The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan

Anime

On December 18, 2013, which refers to a pivotal date depicted in The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, the official website for the Haruhi Suzumiya series "vanished" and was replaced by a fake error page containing a hidden link revealing that an anime adaptation of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan was in production. A year later, on December 18, 2014, the site revealed the staff and cast for the series. Unlike its predecessor, the series has been produced by Satelight rather than Kyoto Animation who produced the previous Haruhi anime with direction by Jun'ichi Wada, series composition by Touko Machida, and character design by Ikuko Ito. Additionally, the cast of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime series reprise their roles as the main cast.[5] The 16-episode series aired in Japan from April 3[6] to July 17, 2015, and depicts events from the first five volumes of the manga.[7] An original video animation was bundled with the manga's ninth volume on October 26, 2015.[8][9]

The series has been licensed for streaming in North America by Funimation (now known as Crunchyroll), who simulcasted the subtitled version as it aired. A broadcast dub version, featuring the same cast as Bang Zoom! Entertainment's dub of the previous Haruhi series, began streaming from May 29, 2015.[10][11][12] The opening theme is "Fure Fure Mirai" (フレ降レミライ) by Kitakō Bungei-bu Joshikai (Minori Chihara, Natsuko Kuwatani, Yūko Gotō, Yuki Matsuoka, and Aya Hirano), and the ending theme is "Arigatō, Daisuki" (ありがとう、だいすき) by Chihara. An acoustic version of "Arigatō, Daisuki" is used for episode 13.
