 Kinema Citrus announced two original anime at the animation studio's Anime Central panel on Saturday, titled Sayonara Lara (Goodbye, Lara) and Ninja Skooler). The panel also revealed the main staff, teaser visuals (pictured above), and promotional videos for both anime. The anime projects are part of Kinema Citrus' 16th anniversary. Sayonara Lara is based on The Little Mermaid and follows a mermaid who wishes to be loved by a human. After her death, she is reincarnated 200 years later in modern day Japan in Lake Biwa. She then learns to fit into the human world. Ninja Skooler follows students at a ninja school. Takushi Koide (Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight assistant director) is helming Sayonara Lara, featuring character designs by Shiori Tani (Star Wars: Visions). Shunsuke Takarai (Harukana Receive main animator) is directing Ninja Skooler, with character designs by Hami.

| The character designs and visual direction in these are gorgeous. Especially in Sayonara Lara's case. |
| Both seem interesting, so I will definitely watch. |
   |
| An original anime that is not a multimedia quasi-idol project or is not poorly distinguishable from an adaptation of a conventional CGDCT manga? Yes, that's becoming increasingly rare these days. The synopsis sounds a little confusing and strange, but I'll give it a chance anyway. UPD. I watched the short trailers, does it intentionally seem inspired by Trigger and shoujo romance from the 90's? |
 |
| Ninja Skoolers looks totally my thing, but I'll also check out the Little Mermaid. |
| well at least they know what the little mermaid is supposed to look like |
   |
| The Little Mermaid project is VEEEEEEEEEERY interesting since I'm a fan of the story to begin with. That should be on my watchlist. Are those gonna be movies or TV series? |
 |
| Excited for Sayonara Lara. Love the art style ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| Ninja Skooler characters look cute, love the little bat sidekick! |

| wow, two original interesting project/premises! hope the actual animation live up to the preanimated trailers which look great. will def check them out. |
| Really interested in sayonara lara. |
 |
| Both of them looks good, visually, but yeah, Sayonara Lara is one to look forward to. |
 |
| Sayonara Lara gives me some 80's-90's vibes with it's art style and the fact that it's inspired by European tale. |
| Kinema Citrus' work on the recent Cardfight anime is sooo underrated. Anyone who watched knows they have the sauce. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |

@ukloim Yeah I misinterpreted one of the staff's posts lol. I think what they meant is they replicate the cel-animation art style.
| @Tiyuen210 That's more like it, yeah. |
| I've been wanting more mermaid anime for a long time now <333 veri excited for this one |
