sarazanmai is my life
The official Sarazanmai Twitter account is telling us that there will be a new announcement during the noitamina broadcast tonight at 1:05. Be sure to check it out!
However based on the leaked video, we already know that it’ll be the new pv and that Sarazanmai will air in Spring 2019!
They accidentally uploaded a video early on youtube. I got a link to a lq version of it from an anonymous tumblr user.
For me the most interesting thing in the test video was a shot of a little green guy that was turned away from the camera, with a white plate on top of it’s head, a turtle shell on its back and a tiny tail. It’s a fucking Kappa.
Kappa’s if you don’t know, are Japanese yokai (demons basically) with humanoid and amphibious characteristics that inhabit rivers and ponds. They have cavities on top of their heads that are literally called “sara” meaning a plate or a dish. The sara is supposed to be filled with liquid that gives the Kappa its powers and keeps them alive when they’re on land.
Furthermore Kappas have many different names (one source is telling me there are up to 80) and one of the more common ones is kawaso, meaning otter.
The setting is Asakusa.
One day three 2nd year middle school students; Kazuki Yasaka, Tooi Kuji and Enta Jinai meet a mysterious kappa-like life form known as “Keppi”, forcibly have their shirikodama stolen and get transformed into kappa.
“If you want to return to your original form, connect in “that way” and bring the zombie shirikodama”.
Is what Keppi tells the trio. Can the boys connect and steal the zombi shirikodama?!
At the same time at the police station where Reo Niiboshi and Mabu Akutsu work something is about to happen.
