Anime director TATSUKI (Kemono Friends) revealed on Saturday that the DVD release of his “Keifuku-san” anime short has been delayed until February 19 due to the number of pre-orders “exceeding expectations by far.”
TATSUKI created the short with irodori, the three-person independent animation group that worked with the studio Yaoyorozu to produce the Kemono Friends anime.
The release topped Amazon Japan’s anime DVD best seller and overall DVD best seller lists shortly after going on sale for pre-order.
Besides TATSUKI, the members include Yūko Shiromizu and Yoshihisa Isa, the art director and animation director on Kemono Friends.
