BTW, the illustration above on the right is of Chinka-chan spraying water on Mirai and the one on the left is of Mirai after she has slipped and fell - about to cry^^;

The first announcement I made of Chinka was April Fools preparations. The intense schedule and hard work by the production team was fueled through the passion that everybody had for the project and as we worked on getting out the PV and what with the worldwide interest, it only made sense that we further invest our time and resources to bring Chinka out as a full anime title.

Folks who worked on the PV include Masahiko Komino (小美野雅彦). He was the supervisor for the Chinka PV and previously worked on titles such as Baka to Test, Macross Frontier, Saki, Hayate, Kannnagi, Sekirei, Strike Witches and more.

Junichi Higashi (東潤一) managed the art direction and some of his previous titles include Seitokai no Ichizon, Sekirei, Witchblade, Queens Blade, Sora no Woto and his work also goes back to 1985 on Zeta Gundam.

Yota Tsuruoka (鶴岡陽太) managed the sound and he previously worked on titles such as Haruhi, Lucky Star, Clannad, Idol Master Xenoglossia and Last Exile.

Motion sketches was managed by Frontline who have produced titles such as Death Note, Welcome to the NHK, Ninomiya-kun, King Gainer, Gurren Lagann and Devil May Cry.

The voice actress in the PV is Sato Satomi (佐藤聡美) - she does the voice of Chinka, Megumi and Shoka! Her previous work includes being the voice actress for Ritsu Tainaka from K-ON!

Satomi talks about her role in Chinka which she posted to her blog today. Cant wait to meet up with her again!

There are a load of obstacles to overcome before Chinka gets made into a full feature anime but what I always say is "No Obstacle, No life" - life would be boring without obstacles. Hibuse and I will be working on overcoming those obstacles and release Chinka as soon as we can and wish for your continued support.

Keep your eye on the official HP, official Twitter and official blog for more updates on the Chinka. And of course there will be many updates here on DC which will involve you too in this exciting project. I want to bring all of you as close to anime production as possible.

And before I forget, we still do plan to have some animation cells for you to paint in - chosen artwork will be used in the anime and you will have your name in the credits. If you want to get a foot in the door of the anime industry then this will be a great opportunity. Will let you know when the contest opens.

Leaving you with the full staff list who worked on the PV. Check out the official site for a nicer looking layout ^^;
