Kissing is important. In anime, it tends to be something that’s often avoided following through out, more so in older series than recent ones, but the kiss is elusive in general. One show that bucks the trend a good bit is that of Yamada and the Seven Witches. To make that clear, the folks at Marvelous Entertainment have put together a fun little 70 second promotion spot to highlight all the kissing going on in that show.
Which makes me want to watch it all the more.
The show is one that had some solid anticipation for it, coming alongside various OAD projects. It’s being simulcast by Crunchyroll to audiences in the USA, Canada, Central and South America (including the Caribbean), South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
The series is schedule to run for twelve episodes, though we expect there will be some further OAD projects and like an unaired episode for the eventual home video release as well. The project will be directed by Tomoki Takuno, who is doing storyboards as well, with Fumiaki Usui serving as assistant director while Eriko Iida will be handling the character designs and Michiko Yokote on the scripts.
