Just when you think you've seen all that the issekai genre has to offer, a project like Kemonomichi comes along. Although, the outlandish premise shouldn't be too surprising as Natsume Akatsuki, the creator of KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! is the brainchild of this project.
The TV anime will begin airing episodes in Japan on October 2. At this early stage, there's no word yet on which North American anime streamers will simulcast the series.
Kazuya Miura is directing the project at Studio ENGI, a new studio formed by Kadokawa last April.
Akatsuki writes the ongoing manga which is serialized in Kadokawa's Monthly Shōnen Ace. Mo-suke Mattaku and Yumeuta (Baka and Test) illustrate the manga, which has released 4 volumes since its November 2016 debut.
