The female-lead golf anime coming out next January has updated some new information.
Anime News Network reported that a third key visual of the upcoming anime, Sorairo Utility, was revealed by Yostar Pictures and Pony Canyon. The two companies also unveiled additional staff members for the golf-themed anime.
The new key visual can be viewed through the anime’s official X account.
The recently revealed staff includes Hitoki Takeda (Mashle: Magic and Muscles) as color designer, Yoshitaka Kudō (RWBY: Ice Queendom background artist) as art director, Wu Jiann-horng as director of photography, Kengo Shigemura (Phoenix: Eden17) and Ayaka Sato (Dr. Stone: Ryusui key animator) as editors, and Daisuke Horita (Azur Lane Queen’s Orders) as music and sound director. In charge of music production are both Yostar Pictures Sounds and Zenta Studio.
An original anime special of Sorairo Utility was released on December 31, 2021, with Crunchyroll streaming the anime. Kengo Saitō returns to direct the television series.
Pony Canyon’s description of the main synopsis can be read here:
“At this rate, I’ll just graduate as a plain background character A!”
Minami Aoba was troubled. She had no particular strengths or things she wanted to do. Is it okay for her high school life to end as such an ordinary supporting character!?
Leaving school behind, Minami searches for her own “special uniqueness.” She stumbles upon the nearby golf practice range by chance. Approached by part-time worker Haruka Akane, Minami grasps the golf club—the “utility.”
And thus, it was the encounter between Minami and golf.
Winning is not the only thing in golf! Everything related to golf is enjoyable!
Together with the genius golfer Haruka and Ayaka Hoshimi, who aspires to be an influencer, they seek the moment when they can become the “protagonist”! As a super beginner, Minami swings her club once again today.
