Pastel Memories Anime Replaces Hisako Kanemoto With Yumiri Hanamori For Nao

The official website for the television anime of FuRyu's Pastel Memories smartphone game revealed the anime's cast on Tuesday. Yumiri Hanamori is replacing the game's cast member Hisako Kanemoto as the voice of Nao Mejiro in the anime. The other main cast members are reprising their game roles.

The "otaku girls" role-playing game takes place "a little bit in the future in 20XX." Akihabara, which was once called "the otaku holy land," is now in decline after otaku culture itself has declined. Players take on the role of a manager of one of the few remaining "otaku shops." The manager helps to "raise" various talented otaku girls, and together, players and the girls battle a "virus" that is infecting the world of various works, while also retrieving people's lost "memories."

Yasuyuki Shinozaki (Shuffle!, Xam'd: Lost Memories, And you thought there is never a girl online? episode director) is directing the anime at project No.9. Tsuyoshi Tamai (Strike Witches, Ladies versus Butlers!, Bikini Warriors) is in charge of series composition. Shin'ya Segawa (Garakowa -Restore the World-) is adapting Nero Nashiki's original character designs for animation.
