Pastel Memories Smartphone Game Gets Anime TV Series

Written By Samantha Ferreira

“Colorful Recollections” wasn’t catchy enough, in this case.

Earlier today, FuRyu hosted a live streaming event. During the presentation, the developer announced that their Pastel Memories smartphone game will receive an anime TV series. More details will be released at AnimeJapan 2018, which will be held on March 24 and 25.

A teaser visual was unveiled for the project, which you can check out below.

The Pastel Memories smartphone game launched in October 2017. The game’s voice cast includes:

  • Izumi Asagi: Hiyori Nitta
  • Ayaka Sakaki: Mariko Toribe
  • Irina Leskova: Yumi Uchiyama
  • Kaoruko Nijouin: Yukiyo Fujii
  • Yuina Machiya: Rie Murakawa
  • Michi Edogawabashi: Naomi ลŒzora
  • Minami Senju: Ai Yamamoto
  • Chimari Maiko: Yui Ogura
  • Nao Mejiro: Hisako Kanemoto
  • Rei Kurushima: Yurika Kubo
  • Komachi Satonaka: Megumi Toda
  • Saori Rokugou: Kotori Koiwai

Pastel Memories bills itself as an “otaku girls role-playing game.” The title is set in Akihabara, “slightly in the future, in 20XX.” In the game, Akiba is in decline following the fall of otaku culture. Players are tasked with managing an “otaku shop”, and raising “otaku girls” to do battle against a virus that infects the worlds of various works.

What am I forgetting? Oh, right. “Otaku.”

You can check out nearly an hour of gameplay from the app below:
