 Film production and distribution company TOHO announced on Thursday that Tomihiko Morimi's novel Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome (The Night is Short, Walk on Girl) will receive an anime film, which is scheduled to open in theaters in Japan on April 7, 2017. The lead staff members returning from the Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (The Tatami Galaxy) TV anime are as follows.Staff Director: Masaaki Yuasa (Ping Pong The Animation) Script: Makoto Ueda (Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei) Original Character Design, Character Design: Yuusuke Nakamura Music: Michiru Oshima (Zetsuen no Tempest) Studio: Science SARU Production: Nakame no Kai Cast Senpai: Gen Hoshino (Saint☆Oniisan) Theme Song Performance: Asian Kung-Fu Generation Synopsis A black haired girl is walking around the streets of Kyoto, from the night scene of Pontocho to a second-hand book fair in Shimogamo, then off to a college fair. The main character that has a romantic feeling for her secretly follows her around and looks for the opportunities to run into her in a manner that seems like a coincidence. Unfortunately for him, she is not interested in love yet so she does not notice his feelings. What waits these two characters are crazy incidents caused by individuals such as a person who introduces himself as a Japanese mythical creature Tengu, the god of second-hand book or the money lender in a three story vehicle. (Source: Sugoi Japan) Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome was serialized in novel magazine Shousetsu Yasei Jidai for four chapters between September 2005 and November 2006 and subsequently published by Kadokawa Shoten later that month. The novel won the 20th Yamamoto Shuugorou Award and placed second in the 4th Japan Booksellers' Award in 2007. A manga adaptation drawn by Ranmaru Kotone was serialized in Shounen Ace magazine between July 2007 and January 2009.

| Yuuup. 2017 is looking really amazing so far. Cant wait to see the usual negative people on the news thread jerking off to this one this time. Not that i cant see why tho, i loved Tatami Galaxy (and pretty much every Masaaki Yuasa anime i've seen so far) and im hyped af for this one. Going to be painful to wait for this. |

| Quirky looking PV. I really like it. Though stalking is NG, premise sounds pretty good. |
| This will probably be weird as fuck like Tatami Galaxy, which makes me want to watch it even more. Plus, more AKFG is always a good thing. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| boy meets girl, supernatural stuff happens...meh tbh...generic synopsis...[/joek] |
 |
| Yuasa has come to save us from bad isekai and battle harem academy LNs and it feels wonderful. Really interested in the connections this will have to Tatami Galaxy. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Holy Shot this is going to be amazing, nowI Just need Vento Aureo to be in 2017 then with this and that 2017 is going to be GOAT |
| Sup... |

| Have yet to watch The Tatami Galaxy, but this looks interesting as well. |
| well, this is serious bussiness |
 |
| With such a promising staff, this seems to be the most promising of 2017, along with LoGH and FLCL. Let's hope something to the height of the masterpiece that is The Tatami Galaxy. |

| Wow this looks like it will be great will watch for sure |
| Baby, daijobanai... |

| Pathetic that yuasa agreed to milk this series instead of doing new stuff, he even said he looks to the future not the past. Here comes the anti moe harem brigade praising this series to the heavens. |

Here comes the anti moe harem brigade praising this series to the heavens. how is it milking when yuasa's projects (tatami included) make basically no money? i admit that im a little disappointed that it's not something entirely new for him, but i'm certain yuasa and his team have a good reason for adapting this story in particular |
| Oh boy, this is some great news indeed! More Yuasa is always very welcome. The anime industry could always use more talent like him to break up the monotony. (And I really should get around to finishing Tatami Galaxy...) |

| omg two of tomihiko morimi works getting an adaptation in 2017.....is this real life?? First uchouten kazoku 2 and now this.... I'm so happy!!!!! |
| Looks brilliant. Very excited indeed. |
| Thread Cleaned of... Elitist posts, baiting, etc. |
 |
| Not really important and related to the main news, so I'm not editing the news post: To celebrate the movie premiere, Yojouhan will get selective rebroadcast starting January 8, 2017 and Scenario Art will be singing cover of theme songs. It was announced via Noitamina Lineup 2017 via Line Live just now (which the news will be posted soon). http://otakomu.jp/archives/474303.html |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Cool. So this was the anime movie that Yusa had been working on. I look forward to it for sure next Spring. |
 |
| I think they will ruined like tatami. And the art is like a copypaste of you know what, how Original don't you think? |
 |
| Good news ! Yuasa will be doing something else too for spring 2017 ! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-12-15/masaaki-yuasa-has-2nd-spring-2017-work-besides-yoru-wa-mijikashi-arukeyo-otome/.109936 |
|
| "[...] he has another project slated for next spring. He added that more details will follow." !!! I love the TG art/design/music and Morimi's writing, but I wish they had put some distance between this and Tatami Galaxy ): Still more pumped for Uchouten Kazoku S2 tbh. |
| Looks like Tatami Galaxy 2.0 for me. Nothing more. |
 |
| Awesome. I'd be looking forward to it. It is related to Tatami Galaxy, right? |
 |
Yup. Also Uchouten Kazoku. It's a shared universe: “For those of you who are unfamiliar with Morimi’s other novels, Jurojin, or Rihaku (his real name), is a major reoccuring character in Morimi’s novels. The events in the novel 夜は短し歩けよ乙女 are centered around this very guy. This novel also contains reoccuring characters from his other novels such as Master Higuchi, Hanuki, Aijima (The Tatami Galaxy), and the young master from Chitose-ya (A part of Friday Fellows in The Eccentric Family). |
