Sentai Filmworks have today announced their acquisition of the anime series Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?, which they are marketing under the cute, more marketable title Is the Order a Rabbit?. This is a anime adaptation of the original comedy manga by Koi that is currently airing in Japan this season, with Sentai Filmworks presumingly going to simulcast the rest of the season.
This slice-of-life comedy series features direction by Horiyuki Hashimoto (Angel Beats!, Devil Survivor 2), series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Kämpfer, Princess Resurrection), character design by Yousuke Okuda (Kuroko’s Basketball, Tari Tari) and animation production by WHITE FOX (SoniAni – Super Sonico the Animation, Tears to Tiara).
A home video release is also planned, however no specifics have been shared. For now, digital streaming platforms are the only way you can officially enjoy the Rabbit Cafe and the lives of its staff / patrons.
Tea time has never been cuter or furrier! Get ready for a triple shot of adorable, and join Cocoa and her high school friends for a hopping good time as they embark on new exploits, living the good life and hanging out at their neighborhood joint – a quaint café called Rabbit House. Based on the popular four-panel manga, this slice of life, teenage school-girl comedy is just the mid-day “pick-me-up” you ordered. Time spent with friends is great, but hanging out beside a bundle of bouncing and beguiling bunnies makes it all the merrier!
All named after delicious and refreshing beverages, cute Cocoa (“hot cocoa”), tough Rize (“Thé des Alizés” tea), ordinary Syaro (“Kilimanjaro” coffee), frivolous Chiya (“Uji matcha” tea), and cool Chino (from “cappucino”) are destined to be your favorite tea-time companions as all the fun is just a hop, skip, and a jump away in – IS THE ORDER A RABBIT?
