The preview scene clips and plot summary from Episode 7 of "The Neighboring Yokai-san" have arrived! The special program featuring Asaki Yugawa has been confirmed to air, and information about the one-time broadcast review has also been released.
In this colorful universe, yokai, humans, and gods share the same sky, creating their own daily stories. This is "The Neighboring Yokai-san" (author: noho), an anime depicting the lives of these three groups, airing from April 6, 2024, in the "ANiMAiZiNG" time slot on ABC Television and the Asahi Television Network's 24 nationwide affiliates.
This time, we have obtained the advance scene clips and plot summary for episode 7, giving us a sneak peek. Buchio is human and feels uneasy about the time difference with his family life and the impending separation. However, his drinking buddy Heiwa Benmaru says this is a common concern between humans and yokai. Wagon-kun and his partner Kazuhiko also share the same unease. In this situation, Wagon-kun recalls the days with Kazuhiko and Namiko.
To allow the audience to understand this work more deeply, "The Neighboring Yokai-san" will also broadcast a special program on NicoNico Live, hosted by Asaki Yūkawa, who will review the work's progress so far and discuss the focus of the second half. We will also introduce some of the actual locations that became scenes in the anime. Oh! We will also broadcast a recap program of episodes 1 to 8 in the special program on June 1st!
"The Neighboring Yokai-san" not only deeply explores the relationships between humans, yokai, and gods, but also depicts their daily lives with a warm touch. It brings the audience to a whole new world, allowing us to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and the ordinary in the extraordinary. We can also see many familiar elements in the work, such as cute pet actions, mysterious yokai, and beautiful scenery, and so on.
Finally, as an anime blogger, I highly recommend everyone to watch this anime. Its story is gripping, the characters are distinct, the animation quality is high, and the soundtrack is excellent. Whether you are an anime fan or a viewer seeking something new, you will find your own place in "The Neighboring Yokai-san". Let's look forward to the future performance of this work together!
