The pachinko and slot machine parlor Island in Akihabara, Tokyo announced this week that a television anime adaptation of its "Aira Project" commercials has been green-lit.

The anime stars Pile ( Love Live! ) as Aira, Kana Hanazawa ( Psycho-Pass , Durarara!! ) as Hana, and Yuka Iguchi ( Bakemonogatari , Seraph of the End ) as Shima. Sōta Sugahara ( gdgd Fairies , Hi-sCool! Seha Girls ) is directing the anime.

The anime will premiere on December 18 on Tokyo MX , and will be a "15-second" series — teased as "the first ever!?" by the parlor's website.

Pile has previously performed a song for Island's "Aira Project" commercial in July.



Island is also hosting a manga series featuring the Aira character on its website.
