The Launch of "Hiroshi Nohara's Lunch Philosophy" by DLE

DLE has made an exciting entry into the anime world with its first alternative anime, titled "Hiroshi Nohara's Lunch Philosophy". A promotional video (PV) for the series premiered on August 21, showcasing the unique character of Hiroshi Nohara, who is known from the beloved series Crayon Shin-chan. In the PV, the voice of Hiroshi is brought to life by the talented voice actor Tomokazu Seki, who narrates, "Hiroshi Nohara, 35 years old, of course, also enjoys lunch!"

The PV brings to life a variety of delicious lunch options, presented with vibrant visuals that invoke a strong sense of food’s appeal. A delightful scene unfolds as Hiroshi shows visible excitement while lifting the lid of a bowl, leading into the iconic phrase, "If you see it..." connecting the new series to its iconic origins.

What is Alternative Anime?

This series marks the initiation of DLE's Alternative Anime project, aimed at producing 30-minute anime episodes designed for television and streaming. Unlike traditional productions, these episodes will be shorter in turnaround time and more economical, without compromising on quality. Through the use of Adobe Animate, DLE aims to evolve concepts to deliver middle-quality animations while also connecting with fans of the original material.

Special Opening Theme by Mega Shinnosuke

In another exciting development, the opening theme song has been entrusted to Mega Shinnosuke, an artist who has grown up adoring the Crayon Shin-chan series. The song "Let’s Eat Rice!", unique to this anime, is penned to capture the spirit of the show.

Mega Shinnosuke expressed his ecstatic feelings about being part of this project, stating, "I never imagined that I would be involved in a Shin-chan production! Life is full of surprises, and I can’t wait for everyone to experience this delightful and funny tale!" He encourages viewers to embrace the cozy, comforting spirit of good food amidst busy lives, with energetic lyrics reminding everyone to take it easy and enjoy the little things.
