Haigakura Anime Restarts With 1st Episode This Summer
The staff of the television anime of Shinobu Takayama's Haigakura manga announced on Saturday that the anime will resume this summer, but will restart from the first episode. The staff released a video and a visual for the anime's resumption.(The below video is available in the U.S. and Latin America only.) (Region-free version) The anime premiered in Japan on October 7, but delayed the eighth episode and onward in November because the staff decided they needed more time to maintain the series' quality. The anime rebroadcast its first six episodes weekly starting on November 25.REMOW describes the story: Junichi Yamamoto (Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen, More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers, Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion) is directing the anime at Typhoon Graphics.
