Tatsukis Hentatsu Anime Airing Ends With Tease of His New Project

Back in 2018, Tatsuki revealed his original short anime, “Hentatsu.” It was a 115-second anime, which he described as his “hobby anime.” The clip featured a conversation between an oni and a cat-girl.

Later in January this year, Tatsuki and independent animation studio Irodori released an anime adaptation of Hentatsu, which both of them had been teasing for a while before that. The 12th and final television episode of Hentatsu aired yesterday.

The final episode also teased an upcoming new work by Tatsuki, which was also confirmed by him on Twitter.

The initial 115-second anime showed the two girls talking about the theme and concept of the upcoming main story. Their conversation revealed that the anime would be set in or somehow related to Nakano Broadway, which was also illustrated in the background of the teaser visual.
