Game developer Madosoft announced the production of a 12-episode short television anime adaptation of the Hamidashi Creative visual novel following a successful crowdfunding campaign on Tuesday. Each episode will have a broadcast time of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The crowdfunding also revealed the main staff and a 2024 premiere.

The campaign launched on the Campfire website on June 30 and exceeded its initial goal of 10 million yen (approximately US$68,000) by 1139%. The crowdfunding ended on Tuesday, raising over 113 million yen (approximately US$778,000).

Hisayoshi Hirasawa (Yatogame-chan Kansatsu Nikki, Rail Romanesque) is credited as the chief director and Keiya Nakano (Keijo!!!!!!!!, Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm) is designing the characters. Frontier Engine and Hayabusa Film are producing the series.

The Hamidashi Creative visual novel was developed by Madosoft and published by iMeL on Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 in Japan in June 2021. The game was released on PC on September 30.

Synopsis
It’s the end of June, and the summer seems to be locked in place. Tomohiro Izumi, recognized by himself and those around him as an introvert, is spending another quiet day in his little corner of his classroom… or so he thought.

"Congratulations! You’ve been selected as our next student council president!"

The student council president lottery, held on the spur of the moment by the academy. Tomohiro manages to be the one randomly selected thanks to his ridiculous luck! Now the spotlight is suddenly upon him, and as a result, rumors about him begin to circulate. With no way out, Tomohiro relies on his advisor to start gathering allies he can rely on.

But none of the candidates his advisor suggests, from his classmate Kano to his underclassman Asumi, and even his little sister Hiyori, are even coming to the campus!? Amidst all of this chaos, even the former president that no one could ever get ahold of, Shio, shows up…!

Is it fate, or is it a foregone conclusion? The unheard of and unprecedented battles of the “Random Lottery Student Council President” are about to begin! (Source: Sekai Project, edited)

100 million yen....and only 12 episodes that 2 1/2 mins each for a total of...around 30 minutes total.

That's...kinda pricey for what is basically a 30 min OVA episode?

I was thinking about the same thing . In my humble opinion either most of the money went to extra merchandise to the patrons or maybe the rest of the money will be used for sequel .  It's doesn't make sense

Hey, not every studio in Japan launders foreign money like MAPPA and Production IG. Maybe it cost so much because they are going to actually pay their animators, for once.
