 Yoshinori Asao, the president of studio Fukushima Gainax, announced at the Magical Fukushima event that the studio will begin to produce a new anime project that is aimed to be completed in time for next year's event. Titled Flying Babies, the project is set in Iwaki city and revolves around earthquake survivors who are aiming to become hula girls. Haruka Yoshimura (Shirobako) and Rikako Yamaguchi (Bakuon!!) will cast as the main characters. The event took place at a Hawaiian-themed resort that is iconic for its hula girl performances since the 1960s. The resort has also inspired an award-winning live-action film by Lee Sang-il in 2006. Asao commented that he hopes the anime project will be as successful as the 2006 live-action film and will also generate some interest for the local area. Source: Minpo Hulaing Babies on MAL |

| Good stuff japan. |
| Nobody expected this to be a mildly sexy loli anime. Well I'll watch it. |
 |
| Now that I think about it, I'm surprised a hula girls anime hasn't been done before. Seems like an obvious "cute girls doing cute things" concept. |

  |
| What the fuck...... |
Titled Flying Babies, the project is set in Iwaki city and revolves around earthquake survivors who are aiming to become hula girls. Extremely legit title and premise, I am definitely looking forward to this. |
 |
| I am not even sure what to think of this Regardless, will probably watch |

| Dat title and synopsis is totally fitting. yuuuup. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| at least they're trying... tho I'll pass |
 |
| Oh Japan, why am I not surprised when you come out with ridiculous concepts such as this? How is the title remotely relevant, by the way? |
| AOTS! HYPE! FLYING BABIES! ....... I can't draw the link between the title and the setting they give OTL |

| Well, Fukushima has since couple of years really a "magical" aura... Anyway...>_> For the moment I thought that this a kind of sequel or spin-off is from Flying Witch (I was then... Yey, awesooome!!! But then...), but okay... Well, let's see what will be... |

| Bizarre title but the premise sounds like it could be a nice uplifting drama sadly I got a feeling this will only be a special not and not a series |

| Looks interesting... but What does the title " Flying Babies " have to do with anything XD |
| Thank you, Japan, lol It feels like such a misleading title |
| At least something kinda new. |
 |
| I hope it's not ecchi, it would ruin the whole thing. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
Its like how a idol anime is except theyre becoming hula girls instead ^ ^ I want to see how it'll turn out. |
| Based japan delivers again. |
| At least it sounds original? |

Lil-Bird said: Unless "Flying Babies" is an actual hula dance move, I'm like really confused. But hey, hula dancing. That's cool. In Japanese, the characters for "hula" in the phonetic katakana alphabet and the first two katakana characters used in the word "flying" are the same No idea on babies. Likely just a random English word, might have been going for an innocence thing. Red_Keys said: Gee, how can earthquakes be related to a Hawaiian dance form? Big mystery there. Seems like two randomly selected english words thrown together because "kawaii english title", just like the two completely random and detached ideas of earthquakes and hula dancing are thrown together. Cause who needs creativity when you can just slop random shit together to be "unique" and "new"? |

| Gainax is on life support at this point. Please, someone, just cut the cord and put them out of their misery already |
