The word is just out of Anime Japan about a new series now in production called Urahara, based on the webcomic PARK: Harajuku Crisis Team! which first began right here on Crunchyroll.









PARK: Harajuku Crisis Team! started serialization on Crunchyroll Manga and Tumblr in 2015 as part of a collaboration between writer-editor Patrick Macias, artist Mugi Tanaka (aka Oplant), and the PARK store in Harajuku, Tokyo. The story concerns a trio of shop girls – Rito, Mari, and Kotoko – that band together to battle an alien menace intent on removing famous locations and landmarks from the Earth.

Details about Urahara’s staff, cast, and release date were not revealed at Anime Japan, but here’s the official description:
