posted on by Alex Mateo
Kenichi Suemitsu's TRUMP 2009 stage play is inspiring a new television anime titled Delico's Nursery. An official website opened on Friday, and it unveiled a promotional video, visual, and staff:
Hiroshi Nishikiori (A Certain Magical Index, Azumanga Daioh) is directing the anime at J.C. Staff. Suemitsu is in charge of the screenplay and series composition, in addition to being credited for the original work. Yōko Itō (Amanchu!, Golden Time) is serving as chief animation director and is also designing the characters based on original designs by Kо̄ya. Shunsuke Wada (Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, Naruto stage plays) is composing the music.
The gothic fantasy takes place in a world of vampires raised as nobles. The legendary original vampire TRUMP is believed to have eternal life. The anime follows Dali Delico, the head of one of the most prestigious aristocratic families.
Suemitsu's original stage play opened in Japan in 2009. The play has since inspired other plays, short stories, and concerts. Suemitsu and Hamaguri debuted the TRUMP manga based on the play in Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine in November 2020.
