posted on by Adriana Hazra
It is also streaming the television anime of Rasuko Ōkuma's Hoshikuzu Telepath (Stardust Telepath) manga as Crunchyroll streams the anime and as it airs in Japan.
Momokuri originally debuted online, but had a television broadcast beginning in July 2016. The anime's first episode was available for free on December 24, 2015 alongside the first episode of the radio show on the Comico app. The second episode was distributed similarly through the app in January 2016. The show's third episode onward streamed exclusively on the "Momokuri channel" app starting when the app launched in February 2016.
The anime is based on Kurose's manga of the same name. The story revolves around Yuki Kurihara, a girl who has finally been granted her wish of dating her crush Shinya Momotsuki (Momo). At first glance, she just looks like a normal but very cute girl. However, she is in fact a maniac over Momo, taking notes of his activities and never missing the chance to see him in a cute moment. Momo, on the other hand, is inexperienced in love, and just wants to make Yuki happy.
Yoshimasa Hiraike (Amagami SS, Kaleido Star: New Wings, AKB0048) directed and headed series composition for the anime at animation studio Satelight (Macross Frontier, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan) with producer Fumio Kaneko (AKB0048, Log Horizon) also on the project. Miwa Oshima (Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts, GJ-bu) designed the characters and served as chief animation director. TO-MAS SOUNDSIGHT FLUORESCENT FOREST, the musical unit that includes Masumi Itou, Mito, and Yohei Matsui, composed the music for the series. Lantis produced the music.
In the "military history fantasy" series, the Katvarna Empire is at war with the neighboring Republic of Kioka. In the Katvarna Empire, the lazy, woman-admiring Ikuta hates war, but due to certain circumstances, he grudgingly takes the High Grade Military Officer Exam. No one would have expected that this 17-year-old young man would eventually become a soldier called a great commander by others. Ikuta survives this world engulfed in war with his superior intellect.
Tetsuo Ichimura (Ane Log 2nd OVA director, Norn9's assistant director, Bleach's episode director) directed the anime at Madhouse. Kunio Katsuki (Aoi Bungaku Series, Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie's animation director) was in charge of character design, and Shogo Yasukawa (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Terraformars) handled the series composition. Yoshikazu Iwanami (Baccano!, Ajin, Kill la Kill) was the sound director, and Keiji Inai (Outbreak Company, Heavy Object, Karneval) composed the music. Kishida Kyōdan & The Akeboshi Rockets performed the opening theme song "Tenkyō no Alderamin" ("Alderamin on the Sky"), while singer Kano performed the ending theme song "nameless."
