The TV anime "Sayonara Lala" will be broadcast in July. Rika Fukami and Ayumu Murase will appear as additional cast members, and the main PV has been released.
"Sayonara Lala" is an original anime produced as a commemorative work for Kinema Citrus' 15th anniversary. The story begins when the mermaid princess Lala, who turned into bubbles and disappeared into the sea 200 years ago as a result of a forbidden love, is revived in Lake Biwa. Fukami plays Grace, the witch who once turned Lala into a human. Banished from the world of mermaids, she now transforms into a fish and lives with Mari Otsu, a high school boxer who lives in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. Murase plays the role of Luka, a boy Lala meets in Shiga. Luka is a character whose appearance closely resembles the prince that Lala fell in love with 200 years ago. Visuals of Grace and Luka have also been released. Comments were also received from Fukami and Murase.
The main PV was produced by director Takashi Koide himself. The story shows Lala, the mermaid princess who was revived after 200 years, and Mari Otsu, a high school girl, meeting and starting out together, as well as Lala's past. The PV also includes a casual conversation between Lala and Mari. Luca and Grace, whose cast has just been announced, and the beautiful cityscape of Shiga also appear.
