The Tanuki to Kitsune television anime has a premiere date of October 4, a full cast, and a promo video with first footage. It airs Sundays at 7:00 a.m. on TV Tokyo and affiliates within the Animori program.
Tanuki to Kitsune moves from web shorts and merchandise into a full television anime. Frontier Works confirmed the project on August 21 and set the premiere for October 4, airing Sundays at 7:00 a.m. on TV Tokyo and affiliates as part of the Animori program. Tommy Hino directs at Akatsuki Media Studio, with Rika Kihara writing scripts. A key visual was released at that point.
Two weeks later, on September 4, Frontier Works released a promotional video with the first footage and named the voice cast. Misaki Kuno plays Tanuki, Nao Tōyama plays Kitsune, Toshiyuki Morikawa plays Ōkami, Maria Naganawa plays Usagi and the narrator, and Takuma Nagatsuka plays Kuma and Usagi. The same story puts the franchise at 1.35 million copies in circulation. The August story also cites that circulation figure and notes the anime marks the franchise's 10th anniversary.
Coverage so far has moved in one direction: from the initial production and broadcast announcement to the cast and first look. The series is based on Atamoto's manga, which began on X. The two stories agree on the October 4 date, the Animori slot, the 1.35 million copies, and the studio. What is settled is the date, the broadcast home, the main staff, and the cast. What remains unstated in these stories is anything beyond the premiere.
