 A TV anime adaptation of Iori Miyazawa's sci-fi yuri novel series Urasekai Picnic (Otherside Picnic) was announced by Hayakawa Shobo on Thursday.Synopsis Her first encounter with Toriko Nishina was on the Otherside after seeing "that thing" and nearly dying. Ever since that day, exhausted university student Sorawo Kamikoshi's life changed. In this Otherworld, full of mystery, which exists alongside our own, dangerous beings like the Kunekune and Hasshaku-sama that are spoken of in real ghost stories appear. For research, for profit, and to find an important person, Toriko and Sorao set foot into the abnormal. (Source: J-Novel Club, edited) Cast Sorao Kamikoshi: Yumiri Hanamori (Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!) Toriko Nishina: Ai Kayano (Chihayafuru 3) Felix Film and LIDENFILMS are co-producing the anime series, with Takuya Satou (Fragtime, Asagao to Kase-san.) handling both the direction and series composition. Miyazawa published the first volume in February 2017 with illustrations by shirikaba. Hayakawa Bunko shipped the fourth volume in December 2019. Eita Mizuno began serializing a manga adaptation in monthly Shounen Gangan magazine in February 2018. Square Enix will publish the fourth compiled volume on March 12. J-Novel Club licensed the novel in English last July for digital release. The third volume is planned for an April 12 release.

Finally, we got some yuri! Yay!  Just hope it'd be something wholesome and cute, with no rapey moments. |
| It feels like people are interested not so much in the work itself as in what it will be yuri. Classic. In any case, last year this LN got a pretty big hype, it will be interesting to see. Especially because of the author’s love for the Strugatsky. |
 |
| Oh a Yuri Im all in!!! The manga looks great. and im sure the anime also can deliver some lesbian sweetness!!,,YEEES!!! |
 |
| Nice. This makes the total upcoming yuri/shoujo-ai anime to a mindblowing.... 2 ╭(ˉ▽￣～) |

In any case, last year this LN got a pretty big hype, it will be interesting to see. Especially because of the author’s love for the Strugatsky. I mean it's a 'Yuri-work,' so being interested in the 'Yuri' means being into one of the major appeals of the show, though I have to agree that it seems a bit too much focused on that specifically, instead of the Sci-Fi aspect that makes it a much more unique series to get invested into, due to the potential of the setting. It's not about how much yuri is in this work. This is definitely yuri, whose author even gave semi-insane lectures on trends in the genre, lol. It just annoys me that people turned yuri into a fetish, belonging to which is more important to them than the work itself. When I see the announcement of a new adaptation, I expect that people will discuss the potential of the show, the plot of the original work or their opinion about the future anime, and not just masturbate that it will be a certain genre. |

Daniel_Naumov said: This disgusts me. This tries to shake my faith into the Japanese. But it fails miserably, although I did feel this little pathetic nick. Why are you so sure? The author is clearly not a stupid fanboy, the work is quite popular in the West. I would not be surprised if the decision about anime was made not least because of an eye on hype in the USA.

Don't worry, I did understand your point, and agree with it, I just wanted to enter my response with a cunning remark. Well, personally, I most of all hope that this will be a full-fledged lesbian romance, and not the idiotic teasing. When even official yuri become like that, it kills my faith in the industry. |

| This must be a dream come true, finally the yuri could compete with conventional light novels and not only in sleeves and manhwas The author did a long interview talking about his story and how the yuri was important to him. We will win |

| It's one of the really few genuinely good LNs i've read recently. But even setting aside how LN adaptations usually go, Urasekai is extremely tricky to properly translate to a visual medium, so I'm setting my expectations really low. Oh, and two volumes in, yuri is still present in trace amounts. |

Oh, and two volumes in, yuri is still present in trace amounts. Yori is one of those people who add to yuri even just a close interaction of female characters. For some reason, modern Japanese people like to call yuri any interaction between female characters, even if they are canonically straight. But as far as I read, MC is canonically attracted to the second girl. Or not? |
|
| Finally more yuri!! Mal forgot to add the yuri/Shoujo ai tag. I wonder if there gonna fix that. |
| Does anyone know when it'll come out? |
| sugoi one more for my list this will be the year of the rising of yuri ❤(>‿‿<)❤ |
 |
| While I heard the yuri is less emphasized than a usual yuri manga, I still want to check it out, it's sure to have decent action. |

Dauphine said: Yeah, what a turn off, but at least it´s not yaoi.*reads Yuri* Automatic Skip!!! -_- |
| :v |
| I'm actually already interested to reading its novel since I've heard a good amount of praise to it. But I change my mind, now I think I want to see the anime first. |
 |
| Combining yuri with sci-fi is a bit unusual and that in itself piques my curiosity about the story; and the promotial video, though not giving much away, seems interesting, but that girl in high school uniform holding that big assault rifle makes me a bit worried that it won't be much more than a "cute girls with guns" story. PS. Reading the comments below the article gives me hope that it will be something worthy of putting in my plan to watch list. |

| Sci-fi... and Yuri? Oh god, yes. Definitely watching! |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| "yuri" IM SOLD!!! The more yuri anime we get the better since we dont have many. (Or at least many good ones.) I like the artstyle and the characters look good so Im looking forward to it. Reminds me of Girls Last Tour except yuri version. |

Well, the author has rather specific tastes, but everywhere I saw only positive news about this. Iori is quite respected as an LN author. |

| read 2 volumes of the LN and I can say that this is basically the SCP isekai I never knew I wanted. |
