New Key Visual Unveiled for Kirio Fan Club Anime
The makers have recently shared the second key visual for the much-awaited television anime, Kirio Fan Club. This series is actually based on the original work by Earth Fish Ponchan (also known as Chikyu no Osakana Ponchan), and fans are already getting quite excited about it. The new visual gives us a very beautiful glimpse into the world of the show, setting a perfect tone for the upcoming premiere.
If you don't know, Kirio Fan Club is basically a one-way romantic comedy that focuses on two high school girls, Aimi Miyoshi and Nami Someya. These two are absolutely filled with unstoppable delusions and a very deep love for their classmate, Ken Kirio. It is quite funny to see how they compete and bond over their shared crush. In this newly released visual, the riverbed of Komae City—which is where the story is set—is beautifully expressed in a watercolor style. You can see Aimi and Nami gazing at Kirio as he walks in front of them, which really captures the essence of their one-sided feelings.

Promotional Video and Broadcast Details
Along with the visual, a short 15-second promotional commercial has also been released to build up the hype. This teaser is currently being distributed across official social media accounts and the Ponicyan (Pony Canyon) channel on YouTube. It is quite a brief look, but it surely shows off the animation style well.
