The official website for the television anime of Toshiya Wakabayashi's Tsuredure Children (Idle Children) manga began streaming its first short promotional video on Wednesday. The video shows a scene where a boy gives an umbrella to a girl who forgot hers, and then they walk home together in the rain. In her narration, the girl says, "I'm sorry, is it embarrassing to walk home with a girl?"



The anime will premiere in July. The series will air on Tokyo MX on Tuesdays at 11:15 p.m., on Sun TV on Tuesdays from 24:15 (effectively Wednesdays at 12:15 a.m.), and on BS11 on Tuesdays at 26:15 (effectively Wednesdays at 2:15 a.m.). Each episode will be 15 minutes long.
