It has been announced that animation company P.A. Works is working on a new original TV anime called Glasslip. The anime will begin broadcasting this summer. At the same time as this announcement, the official site and Twitter account of the anime opened.
Much is still wrapped in mystery regarding Glasslip. It can be seen on the official site that the heroine is Tōko Fukami, a 17-year-old girl from Fukui Prefecture whose dream is to become a glass artisan. The key visual shows a character who appears to be Fukami and an ocean scene depicted with a fisheye lens touch. Also on the visual is the phrase “Through glass, I can see tomorrow.” Anticipation will increase for the anime as summer approaches.
P.A. Works is an animation company that has acquired tremendous support from viewers for expressing in a fascinating way the settings of its works. They elaborately scout locations and carefully depict the scenery used in their works, from their first work True Tears set in Toyama Prefecture to Hanasaku Iroha set in Ishikawa Prefecture to Tari Tari set in Enoshima. Their works are tied to increased tourism for the locations used due to fans actually visiting them. Their head office is also located in Toyama Prefecture. The company has a zeal for tourism promotion and they have also created PR anime for sightseeing locales.
The setting of Glasslip has yet to be revealed, but considering that the heroine’s birthplace is Fukui Prefecture, this means that they will have now animated all three prefectures in the Hokuriku region. Make sure not to miss any forthcoming new information on this anime.
