According to Anime!Anime!, Morimi Tomihiko's novel "Uchouten Kazoku" was announced to get a TV anime adaptation. It will be aired from July. The original character designer is Kumeta Koji and the production studio is P.A. Works.

Uchoten Kazoku anime official website

Synopsis:
An animal comedy. In Kyoto, there are three kinds of residents: humans, raccoon dogs, and tengu. Shimogamo Yasaburou is the third son of the Shimogamo raccoon dog family. His father, Soichirou, had been the head of Kyoto raccoon dog community until he was eaten by the human members of "Friday Club". While taking care of old tengu, fighting with other raccoon dogs, and playing with a psychic human girl, Yasaburo approaches the truth of his father's death.
Note: In Japanese folktales, raccoon dogs often take the form of human.

Synopsis sounds a bit iffy, but it's the same author as The Tatami Galaxy so count me in!

The story sounds kinda weird but at least its original. I'm liking the staff behind this and the novel is pretty successful so it could be good.

Well, at least it's not harem/ecchi/moeshit.

Too bad the video won't load in my country. Thanks.

Well its not a total loss since PA works does a great job at making its anime pretty scenery-wise, and rarely has cases of QUALITY in their recent works. I know that madhouse does excellent jobs with adaptions (Tatami galaxy, HxH, Chihayafuru) but I believe that PA works can deliver as well.

1. First time Kumeta Koji does character design outside of his own works. Interesting.

2. Heavy focus on Kyoto scenery and locale. I think it gets some collaboration projects planned with Kyoto city.

3. I guess this may mean the 2013 project earlier announced by PA Works, Nagi no Asu Kara, is not going to air in the Summer season then

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Unfortunate that Madhouse didn't nab this, but extremely happy that more Morimi works are being animated. Now all we need is an Arukeyo Otome adaptation.

It probably won't be the perfection that Tatami Galaxy was but it looks extremely fun and it has a great cast, good to have more Nakahara and Yoshino roles.

Seeing how Nagi no Asukara was announced a while ago, I always supposed it would air in the summer, as it would be a perfect fit and RDG is slated to air in April, so would this mean this is the first time P.A. Works has two works running simultaneously?

oh for sure, i don't disagree that PA works can deliver (when it comes to the production side of things, they tend to excel) but i would like masaaki yuasa to helm this, but he only really collaborates with madhouse even though he is freelance. i'm sure though, whichever person they get to direct this will take a leaf out of tatami adaptation's book.

Great way to compliment the summer heat. Which reporters say will be the fiercest in here for almost 20 years. AC and animals with PAworks scenery and Kumeta designs is a good combination.

So no Nagi no Asukara in summer then? That's sad. Hope it hasn't been cancelled or anything. Well, if it airs in FALL that's good too.
On another note, this anime sounds funny plus DAT CAST.

A mother obsessed with an all female theater troupe and a gender bending main character. This raises an eyebrow and i can see it making quite a few heads explode. Art style and character designs look nice.

Key Visual is out. Anime to start from July 7th

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?
