The
official X/Twitter account of the Nukitashi the Animation anime
announced on Monday that actress Mari Takahashi will join the
cast as Fuku Umenoki. This animated adaptation is based on Qruppo's adult
visual novel, titled Nuki-Gee Mitai na Shima ni Sunderu Hinnyū
(Watashi) wa Dō Surya Ii Desuka?, also known as Nukitashi.
The
anime will air in three different versions
The
production will have three editions according to its level of censorship:
- "Seiran Island"
version: the
most explicit and unrestricted, available on AT-X and
Blu-ray Disc box.
- Exclusive version for streaming: it maintains some risqué
elements, although more moderate.
- Fully censored version: suitable for networks such
as BS11, Gifu Broadcasting, KBS Kyoto and Mie
TV.
The
premiere is scheduled for July 18 at July 19 at 2:05
a.m. (Spanish time) on the AT-X channel. The OceanVeil platform,
of the company WWWave Corporation, will be in charge of

Editorial
note: The original video game featured actresses specializing in adult plays,
so some might be reprising their roles using their real names instead of
pseudonyms.
An
experienced technical team
The
direction is in charge of Nobuyoshi Nagayama (Happy Sugar
Life) in the Passione studio. The script is written
by Kenta Ihara (Tsukimichi, Mieruko-chan),
with supervision by the game's original writers, Naoto Kurahone and Yū
Kamichika. Kumata is in charge of character design and the
music is composed by Ebi Curry Earl, Sasa Ikeki, Umigame and Kashiko.
The opening
theme is titled "Utopia or Dystopia," performed
by Yuki Yumeno. The ending is by Rie Ayase with
the song "Saikai-kei Joshi wa Dōsurya Iidesu ka?".
A
controversial and award-winning franchise
The
original game was released in 2018 and received the award
for Best Screenplay and Best New Brand at
that year's Moe Game Awards. Its story narrates the adventures of a rebel group
that opposes the absurd "Law of the Pervert" on the
island of Seiran, combining comedy, action and social criticism.
The
sequel Nukitashi 2 was released in 2019 and
its international version arrived on February 16. Shiravune distributes
the game through Johren and Steam. In addition, a
manga adaptation began in 2020 that went on to be serialized
in Ultra Jump in 2021.
