New Series?: ‘Futatsu no Kurumi’
SaiAni has a report about a new site for a new anime. It’s from Shin-ei, the studio that does Doraemon (and not a whole lot else). It might be a kids’ show; I’m not sure because I could find precious little info on it. It’s called Futatsu no Kurumi, or two walnuts, about a girl who lives with a rather harsh mother and grandmother and her dog, and who meets another girl. From the look of the site it looks like there’ll be flashbacks to 1945, and a monument to those who died in World War II is also mentioned, so we can probably expect some amount of historical talk.
The show is going to be directed by Tetsuo Yasumi, who has worked on stuff like the Shin-chan movie, one of the eight trillion Doraemon flicks, and a few other kiddie-type shows and movies. (Hence my belief that it might be a bit of a kids’ show, though of course Shin-chan isn’t exactly onee.)

Well, from the story section on the official page, I gathered it’s going to be a story where one girl Ayaka passes through time back to year 1945 just before the bombardment of Tokyo due to lightning hitting the temple’s coin box where she was hiding. Then, back in the past, she meets Tomoko and her family. But the tragic bombardment will happen in three days, so… :/
