Pastel Memories

Alternate Titles

ぱすてるメモリーズ

Synopsis

In the near future, otaku culture is in a state of decline and the former “otaku holy land” Akihabara has lost its shine. The Usagi Koya Honpo is one of the few remaining otaku shops. Together with a group of talented otaku girls, the manager of the store fights the virus infecting the worlds of various works while recovering people’s lost memories.

Background

Pastel Memories began as a JRPG smartphone game developed by FuRyu released in October 2017 for Android and iOS. An anime adaptation produced by Project No.9 is in the works with Yasuyuki Shinozaki directing, Tsuyoshi Tamai writing the script, Shinya Segawa adapting Nero Nashiki’s original character designs for animation, and Akiyuki Tateyama composing the music. The anime’s opening theme song will be "Believe in Sky” by Asami Imai, and the ending theme will be "Sparkle☆Power” by Iketeru Hearts. The anime will premiere in Japan on Jan. 7, 2019 on Tokyo MX, Sun TV, KBS Kyoto, and BS Fuji.
