The girls of MAYONAKA PUNCH want your blood!… No, not like that. The new anime series is teaming up with the Tokyo Red Cross Center to encourage fans to donate blood. Plus, the show itself is getting some fresh blood in the form of two rival NewTubers!
First, the casting announcements. Starting in episode 7, we’ll be seeing a new stream team, dubbed Itan Kids. Meet Igijin (left, voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto) and Hashitabura (right, voiced by Tomokazu Sugita). (Note: romanization of names is not finalized.)
And starting next month, blood donors can take home a gift from the series! From September 1 to October 15 (or while supplies last), the Tokyo Red Cross will be offering clear files with this cute art of Live and Masaki to anyone who donates 400 mL of blood or blood components:
With manga and novel adaptations also in the works, Shu Honma (Ya Boy Kongming!) directs MAYONAKA PUNCH at studio P.A. Works, with series composition by Hideaki Shirasaka and Tsukasa Kotobuki’s original character designs adapted for animation by Ryota Arima.
Crunchyroll is simulcasting the anime and describes the story:
Meet Masaki, the now former member of the popular NewTuber group, Harikiri Sisters. After a career setback, aka getting fired unexpectedly via a livestream, she joins forces with Live, a partner with superhuman abilities. Together, they aim to create sensational content and reach 1 million subscribers. Will they reach their content dreams or be hit with the block button?
