A new Wake Up, Girls! TV anime has been green-lit for this year, but Yamamoto and Ordet are no longer working on the new project.
(The previous two TÅhoku projects, blossom and Wake Up, Girls!, were set in the town of Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture and Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, respectively.)
The Campfire crowdfunding campaign for Yutaka Yamamoto’s Hakubo (Twilight) original anime project met its goal of 15 million yen (about US$137,000) on Tuesday.
The franchise’s latest entry, the Wake Up, Girls! Beyond the Bottom film, premiered in Japan in December 2015.
