chigeki Sacchu!! HoiHoi-san Manga Gets New Anime
posted on 2012-03-17 22:50 EDT
Kunihiko Tanaka's manga about cute bug exterminator already has short
with Rie Kugimiya, Rie Tanaka

A new anime adaptation of Kunihiko Tanaka's Ichigeki Sacchu!!
HoiHoi-san manga was announced as green-lit at the Dengeki Game
Festival 2012 event on Sunday. The story revolves around a cute
robotic bug exterminator in the future.

Tanaka serialized the manga in ASCII Media Works' Monthly Comic
Dengeki Daioh magazine, and ASCII Media Works compiled the series into
one book volume. The manga already inspired a short anime special,
with Rie Kugimiya in the title role and Rie Tanaka as Combat-san, that
was bundled with that book volume in 2004. There is also a sequel
manga called Ichigeki Sacchu!! HoiHoi-san Legacy that ran in Dengeki
Black Maoh and Dengeki Daioh magazines.

Update: More background information added.

That is great news!I always thought that there was much more they could
do with this manga.If they follow the manga that was released in the US
it should be great.

It had that Wile E Coyote vs a likable RoadRunner element and the comedy
from the human and corporate antics as well.

I used to have a HoiHoi-san avatar on Compuserve and still have that one-off
anime on my computer. I got a real kick out of it. Would be nice if they
could get the same VAs for the new anime.
