Isekai anime A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics is a lot of fun, which shows in its OP and ED animations
The new isekai anime series A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics (aka Henjin no Salad Bowl) premiered last night and, while not exactly the most unusual plot, the first episode was definitely entertaining.
Along with the anime’s first episode, creditless versions of the opening and ending animations, which include the anime’s OPÂ ‘Gifu ni Teddo‘ by Wanuka — and ED — ‘Konban no Kenka‘ (aka ‘Tonight’s Fight‘) by Meiyo Densetsu — were uploaded to producer Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) Animation YouTube channel.
(And isn’t every one as ecstatic as I am that most animation production committees have started doing this in the last year or so?)
Both animation sequences do a nice job of introducing the anime’s main characters we’ve met so far, along with a few we haven’t, while showing off how the girls who arrived from another world seem to have no trouble falling in love with all the unusual things their new world has to offer.
Unfortunately, the record label distributing A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics’ OP and ED, Universal Music Group, is still a week behind the times, as both songs won’t officially be released digitally until April 10th.
When they are, you can follow these two links —Â Â ‘Gifu ni Teddo‘ and ‘Konban no Kenka‘ to listen to them on streaming services.
A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics light novel series
The anime’s entertaining and very cute-so-far plot is based on the A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics light novel series written by prolific writer Yomi Hirasaka (A Sister’s All You Need) and illustrated by Kantoku (Sasaki and Peeps).
It tells the story of Sousuke Kaburaya, a principled private detective who barely survives financially, and who is suddenly stuck living with Sara, a 13-year-old princess from another world, after she falls out of the sky and knocks him to the ground.
Not any ordinary princess, though, as Sara’s magic powers could rival Harry Potter’s.
The isekai anime set in the modern world began streaming on Crunchyroll yesterday, and will run through June 21st, 2024.
The first episode — Awaiting Kirin from Another World — is streaming now for the platform’s premium subscribers.
