A date for theatrical screenings has been set for The Quintessential Quintuplets*, the new Honeymoon anime that’s heading to TV in Japan this year. Ahead of its broadcast, screenings are now locked in for a limited three-week period starting on September 20, and the main staff has also been revealed along with a new key visual.
Masato Jinbo, who previously helmed The Quintessential Quintuplets the Movie, is directing the new anime and is in charge of scripts, with original author Negi Haruba collaborating on the latter. Masato Katsumata is back for character designs for the Bibury Animation Studio production. Additional staff members include Natsumi Tabuchi, Miki Sakurai and Hanae Nakamura on music and Toshihiko Goto as art director, among others.
The Quintessential Quintuplets Honeymoon Visual
The Nakano quintuplets—featuring the voices of Ayana Taketatsu, Ayane Sakura, Inori Minase, Kana Hanazawa and Miku Ito—will perform both the opening song, “Gotobun no Egao” (“Quintuplets Smile”), and the ending song, “Memories.”
The series started out as a manga by Negi Haruba, and most recently inspired a side story anime. The main TV anime streams on Crunchyroll and the manga is published in America by Kodansha USA, who gave this description for the series:
The Quintessential Quintuplets Synopsis
A high school romantic comedy with five times the cute girls! A high school boy must work part-time to help five sisters study so they can graduate, but the only thing these quintuplets have in common is that they all hate studying!
Five girls who want to do anything but study, and their tutor: a high school boy who’s got book smarts and not much else. Futaro Uesugi took the tutoring gig because he was desperate for cash, but when his students—the five beautiful daughters of a wealthy businessman—find five times the excuses to slack off, what can he do?! At this rate, the sisters won’t graduate, so if he wants to get paid, Futaro must think of a plan to suit each of them … Which feels hopeless when five out of five of them think he’s a loser!
