The upcoming comedy romance anime The Shiunji Family Children won’t premiere until some time in 2025, but that hasn’t stopped the production committee releasing the show’s first character visual. (below)
The first one is a Banri Shiunji character visual that, quite appropriately, shows us just how adorable the oldest daughter is with her big eyes and wide smile.
Banri is the first of the seven Shiunji children to get a visual, with six more due to arrive on the next six consecutive days.
According to The Shiunji Family Children anime’s official X account, Banri herself is known for being “kind and reliable” as well.
The anime also has a new trailer out with the seven family members introducing themselves, and with voice actress Chika Anzai (Shizuru in Train to the End of the World) playing Banri. (watch below)
The Shiunji Family Children anime’s first key visual came out back in August.
That shows all seven children, including main dude Arata Shiunji — the high school student and brother all the romance drama will soon begin to revolve around.
Let’s see which of the seven children gets their character visual tomorrow then, eh?
