The new cast members include Yukari Anzai as Chigiri Toyohashi, Miho Morisaki as Suzu Matsuzaka and Yuka Ozaki as Sora Iwakidaira. Here’s a look at their respective designs.
The Rinkai! anime is directed by Takaaki Ishiyama (Chaos;HEAd), with Hideki Shirane (The Duke of Death and His Maid) on series composition, Hiromi Ono on character designs and Shuichiro Fukuhiro, Yoshiyasu Ueda and Mana Hirano on music for the production at TMS Entertainment’s No.6 studio.
The series has been licensed by Ani-One Asia, which describes the story like so:
